Patriot offers range of USB 3.0 gear for PCs and notebooks

Yesterday I mentioned that Patriot had unveiled a new RAM kit it claimed to be the world's fastest DDR3. Patriot has also announced a new line of USB 3.0 gear for computer users recently.

The line includes the SuperSpeed USB 3.0 PCI-E adapter for desktop PCs that adds a pair of USB 3.0 ports to the computer with 5Gbps of data speed. Notebook users can also get a pair of USB 3.0 ports using the SuperSpeed USB 3.0 Express Card Adapter.

If you have old 2.5-inch HDDs or SSDs lying around as I do, you may be looking for something to do with them. Patriot will soon have a new external enclosure called the Gauntlet SuperSpeed USB 3.0 enclosure that will turn those drives into external storage.
