Do you have the need for speed? Do you need a flash drive that is small and offers up copious amounts of storage? If so, why not take a gander at Kanguru’s 64GB dual-interface flash drive. The nifty feature of this flash drive isn’t necessarily the size (as more 64GB flash drives are becoming commonplace) but the dual-interface design with a USB 2.0 and eSATA connection ensuring you have the fastest speeds wherever you decide to hook up. With USB 3.0 around the corner, sadly this drive will obsolete mighty quick. If you’re a Windows 2000+, Linux 2.4, or Mac OS 9+ user, you shouldn’t have a problem dealing with the Kanguru. While I am highly intrigued, a lack of price, release date, and a rather lack of knowledge on this particular brand means I’m a tad hesitant. Anyone care to chime in on previous Kanguru models?

So USB 3.0 controllers and hardware won’t be available for at least another year, that isn’t going to stop the forward thinking techno freak that could be you!  Such trivial problems such as no software or secondary hardware to support a different piece of hardware is going to set back the true electronic guru.  No sir.  For those individuals, USB fever has your back.  They are  selling 2 meter long USB 3.0 cables for $9.99.  We all know that USB 3.0 is much faster than USB 2.0, ten times faster to be exact.  However, without the hardware, it’s merely an over glorified USB 2.0 cable.  Anyone biting yet?
