MICRODIA Unleashes World’s First Micro USB Type-C OTG Flash Drive & Reader
san jose, california, United States of America (prbd.net) 29/01/2015
USA, January 8, 2015 – MICRODIA Semiconductor Ltd. (MICRODIA) today announced the immediate availability of its new Micro USB Type-C OTG Flash Drive & Reader (FDR). It is a combination card reader and USB flash drive incorporating the new USB standard for its micro USB connector. Reversible connectors eliminate the need to verify if the user is plugging in the micro USB connector the right-way up. Consequently, the OTG FDR is truly plug ’n’ play.

The USB Type-C standard is from the USB-IF and was finalised during the latter half of 2014. It will be implemented as the new standard in Europe in mid-2015 for all mobile devices, including next generation Android smart phones.

The OTG FDR can read microSDXC cards up to 512GB and is able to transfer data at up to 10Gbps. For users, this means uploading and downloading huge data is possible in seconds rather than minutes*.

“This is a new standard from the USB-IF and a valuable investment that will pay dividends,” said Louis Leung, CEO of MICRODIA Ltd. “USB Type-C will unify all USB connectors and ports and render many devices compatible, therefore reducing the number of extra leads and adapters. As such, we expect market demand for USB Type-C-enabled OTG devices to explode.”
