Super Talent Technology is out with a new family of high-capacity USB drives that offer up to 64GB of space.

For now, the new drives are possibly the largest in the community of little drives. And they have style too.

Dubbed Luxio, the drives are housed in a sleek .8 inch by 3 inch by .4 inch UV-coated ABS/PC case with chrome-plated zinc trim. They come in black, silver, and wood grain colors and in three storage sizes: 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB.

All models in the Luxio family come with advanced AES-256 hardware encryption as a standard feature that allows for fast, convenient data security. The drives are packaged in a gift box with a custom-made black leather carrying case.

The Luxio models will begin shipping this week. The cost of the 64GB versions are expected to be around $149.

I have been told that your memory sticks cartons list an address to download a driver for windows 98 (so a memory stick could be used.

I have an old windows 98 computer set-up on a special workstation, and I'd simply like to copy my files onto a memory stick, then be able to transfer it to our modern computer for internet connection.

Can somebody there kindly provide me with this download information? Thanks. David Swanson
