SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- LucidPort Technology will demonstrate
fully functional SuperSpeed USB 3.0 storage devices during the Intel
Developers Forum from September 22nd to 24th.  This demo highlights SuperSpeed
USB drives from Netac, MacPower, Good Way Technology, and SSI Computer Corp. 
Many of these SuperSpeed USB drives will be available in stores this year.

Designed with LucidPort's USB300 USB 3.0 to SATA bridge chip, these SuperSpeed
USB drives can transfer up to 250 Mbytes/sec.  Existing USB 2.0 drives run
between 25 to 35 Mbytes/sec.  These drives are fully backwards compatible to
legacy USB 2.0/1.1 hosts and can operate with the standard USB mass storage
drivers found in Windows, MacOS, and Linux PCs today.

SuperSpeed USB delivers ten times the performance of Hi-Speed USB 2.0 while
offering backward compatibility with the billions of USB-enabled PCs and
peripheral devices in use today.  "The market expects USB 3.0 to be fast,"
said Reid Augustin, VP, Product Development at LucidPort.  "The USB300 meets
that challenge by making the full SATA bandwidth accessible from USB."

USB300 samples and development boards are available now.
