The new OCZ Throttle is able to read data at 90MB/s with a write speed of 30MB/s. Throttle is available in 8GB, 16GB, or 32GB capacities, though pricing has not been released by OCZ.
OCZ also includes a mini USB cable for non-powered eSATA ports and to offer USB access to the flash drive.

USB flash thumb drives have increased in popularity, as storage capacties reach new levels, but eSATA flash drives remain obscure compared to USB flash drives.Ao-LAB and several other companies have eSATA flash drives that help transfer data at faster speeds.
