Kage K1 USB SSD ($230 USD) : 
features a USB 3.0 interface that brings new levels of performance and storage capacity to customers that need the ultimate in speed, capacity and portability. A novel USB-attached SCSI protocol provides 2-4x performance improvements over other devices on the market by queuing data commands in a fashion similar to that used in SATA and SAS drives. With data storage capacity of 240 GB, the Kage K1 USB offers the highest ever in a 4.5 mm form-factor.

The Kage K1 SATA SSD is based on the technology and features found in pureSilicon's high-end Renegade SSD and Nitro SSD products, but employs eMLC NAND flash memory to bring PureSi's reliability and performance to a wider audience. The Kage SATA series delivers 6 Gb/s and includes a proprietary power supply design called VoltStream™ that monitors power quality and uses solid-state capacitors to provide energy during a host-side power failure.
