USB 3.0 portable drives are becoming pretty easy to get in Australia now and very reasonably priced. Those drives are mainly laptop size SATA drives with a USB 3.0 capable connection. USB 3.0 is much faster than SATA, so those designs are not full taking advantage of USB 3.0 speeds. This new controller from VIA is for NAND flash drives.
"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. “VIA Labs is ahead of the pack by some distance when it comes to offering a complete USB 3.0 eco-system that now includes host, hub and NAND flash controller products,” said David Hsu, Associate Vice President, VIA Labs, Inc. “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.”"

In some ways USB 3.0 is ahead of the time and products like the VIA Labs VL750 bring the technology into partnership with forms of storage that really push the boundaires of what we're used to in portable storage.
