Showcased at CES at the beginning of the year, are the ADAM elements USB-C flash drive ROMA and the USB adapter and cable series CASA, which are now available. Users of the latest MacBook will be excited to hear that the ROMA has doubled in capacity with a 128GB model, as well as receiving an additional colour to choose from.

As there is a rapid growing number of hardware manufacturers including USB-C ports in their new devices, USB-C is a major connector standard of the future. ADAM elements have sensed this trend early and it’s offering two USB-C series of high-performance premium accessories, especially targeted at MacBook users.

ROMA (high-speed dual USB-C/USB 3.1 flash drive)

ROMA comes with both a USB-C connector and a standard USB-A plug, which can be easily swivelled around. Users can store data from e.g. their latest USB-C-only MacBook and share them with other USB-C devices, such as the Chromebook Pixel or, thanks to the standard USB-A connector, with older USB devices. On both ends, ROMA boasts high-end USB 3.1 transfer speeds of up to 130 MB/s.

ROMA now also sports an all-new rose gold casing, in addition to the already available gold and space grey colour options.

ROMA 64GB: £39,

ROMA 128GB: £79

CASA (premium adapters for every occasion)

The CASA line adds a whole new level of comfort and functionality to MacBooks. USB-A-to-USB-C adapters, for example, allow users to hook up a mouse, keyboard, printer or any other peripheral with a standard USB-A connector. HDMI and VGA adapters for USB-C, on the other hand, are perfect for connecting computer monitors, TVs or projectors. The HDMI adapter even supports audio output and 3840×2160 video resolutions, that’s 4K UHD. The 2m long USB-C-to-USB-C cable hooks up the MacBook to its power adapter or to any other USB-C devices, such as external hard drives. Even selected smartphones become part of the act, with battery charging and data transfers of up to 480Mbps. CASA cables come in gold, space grey and an eye-catching flaming red.
