The DriveStation USB 3.0 SuperSpeed unfolds: high capacity hard drive and USB 3.0 high speed!

Buffalo has announced the first external hard drive with a USB 3.0 interface: the DriveStation SuperSpeed USB 3.0. A very long name for a device simple but pleasing design. The DriveStation USB 3.0 SuperSpeed takes up the sleek black hull of JustStore Desktop shaped mini Xbox. That said, the similarities end there.

For this DriveStation SuperSpeed USB 3.0 controller with a new generation USB 3.0 is supposed to be ten times more powerful than its predecessor USB 2.0-at least in theory-and a hard disk Sata-2 offering capacity of 1TB, 1.5TB or 2TB According to the manufacturer, this set would be able to sustain a speed of around 125 Mb / s, which is, pretty much comparable to flow an external hard drive connected to Sata.

Nevertheless, USB 3.0 is not yet widespread on the PC, Buffalo was thought to offer a USB 3.0 controller optional, as it was thought to provide its DriveStation SuperSpeed USB 3.0 backward compatibility with the USB 2.0. We can already perform its security safeguards and transfers of large files on high speed until they do so in very high speed when the interface and USB 3.0 will be deployed on a large scale.

It will still wait until the last quarter of 2009 to see the tumble DriveStation SuperSpeed USB 3.0 and USB 3.0 controller. The prices of both devices have so far not been revealed.
