Buffalo preparing to ship its USB 3.0 external hard drives
Buffalo is gearing up to ship its USB 3.0 external hard drives in late October, which should hit store shelves weeks ahead of Freecom's USB 3.0 drives. This will technically make Buffalo first to market with an external HDD that uses the latest USB spec.
The company's 1TB and 1.5TB models will be made available this month for around $225 and $284, while the 2TB unit will arrive later this year for about $523.

but wouldn't you need a USB 3.0 motherboard to start
transferring data at that 3.0 speeds? And since most
computers are using USB 2.0. That would render this USB 3.0
hdd useless wouldn't it? oh...doh! > |

device sitting on your desk without a supporting controller
in your computer, so Buffalo is also planning to offer NEC's
IFC-PCIE2U3 2-port PCIe x1 host controller for about $60.
" So that is probably a USB port that connects to a PCIe slot on your motherboard. Interesting. |
