We have seen several external hard disk, some stylish and some just good for back up however this is the first time that we have our eyes on the first ever USB 3.0 superspeed powered External Hard Drive. DriveStation™ HD-HXU3 can reach up to 120Mbps, that’s three times faster than the currently dominant USB 2.0.
The DriveStation™ HD-HXU3 have a stylish design, it looks like a futuristic XBox 360 with glossy black finish. It’s available in 1.0 TB (HD-HX1.0TU3), 1.5 TB (HD-HX1.5TU3) and 2.0 TB (HD-HX2.0TU3) capacity. It will feature Turbo USB which according to Buffalo will enhance data transfer speed (as if the 3.0 spec isnt fast enough) and includes Memeo AutoBackup Software for Mac and Windows. However to achieve USB speed you need to install USB 3.0 PCI card which will cost about $60.
The HD-HXU3 will be priced at $200 1TB, $250 1.5TB and $400 for 2TB capacity. The USB 3.0 is quite tempting but if you’re using an all-in-one machine like me you need to skip this and unpgrade your machine first. Check out the complete Specs on Buffalotech.com.
