ummm wait, I'm not too knowledgable on computer peripherals 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?

"Obviously, it would be pointless for you to have a USB 3.0 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. |
