Description

With Buffalo's Dynamic Random-Access Memory portable hard drive users no longer have to choose between speed and capacity; the HD-PGDU3 series offers both! Buffalo's DDR3 hard drives combine the best of solid state drives - fast speed - with the best of standard hard drives - affordable large capacities.

The HD-PGDU3 is equipped with Buffalo's DDR3 Technology and has an extra-large 1GB cache capable of extremely fast data transfer speeds. The cache works as a buffer during read and write operations allowing the MiniStation to optimize its speed and offer up to 400MB/s write speed and up to 300 MB/s read speed. Ready to copy 1,000 photos? You'll be done in about 3.5 seconds - about 2.3 times faster than a standard USB 3.0 hard drive! Buffalo's portable DDR is sleek and high-design minded, including subtle LEDs which indicate the drive's cache use and power status.

Buffalo's DDR3 MiniStation transfers larger amounts of data fast and reliably and is an excellent choice for video, audio, and graphics professionals, business users, or anyone on-the-go. The HD-PGDU3 series is available in 500GB or 1TB capacities.
