VIA Labs has launched the latest USB 3.0 product, the VIA Labs VL750 Super-Speed USB to NAND flash controller; a single-chip solution for the next generation of USB flash drives. The VIA Labs VL750 features a 4-channel memory controller with interleaving support to offer consumers blisteringly fast data transfer speeds of 100MB/s or more, depending on configuration. The VIA Labs VL750’s four channel design dramatically improves data throughput over dual or single channel designs by offering more bandwidth and improved parallelization.
David Hsu, Associate Vice-President, VIA Labs, said, "The VIA Labs VL750 will pave the way for fast, affordable, and large capacity flash drives of 32GB or more. Large files will become infinitely more manageable with most transfers completing in just a few seconds."
The VIA Labs VL750 features USB mass storage class "Bulk-Only Transport" for universal compatibility across platforms such as Windows, Mac OSX, and Linux and adds USB Attached SCSI Protocol (UASP) support for additional performance. The VIA Labs VL750 is fully compliant with the USB 3.0 specification, and is also backwards compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1 standards, offering class-leading performance in USB 2.0 mode with transfer speeds of up to 35 MB/s.
