Description

SuperSpeed USB 3.0 hard disk drive

DriveStation™ Velocity is the perfect solution for those who need to transfer files quickly and easily. The amazing speed performance comes from a combination of a more efficient improved USB 3.0 interface, Buffalo's enhanced TurboPC EX data transfer and copy utility and a 7,200 RPM drive. With USB 3.0, digital content transfers at speeds of up to 5Gbps*. If you haven't moved up to USB 3.0 yet - DriveStation™ Velocity is backward compatible with USB 2.0.
