Following the footsteps of the Freecom USB 3.0 hard drive, along comes the Buffalo DriveStation HD-HXU3 which will also conform to the USB 3.0 standard, where it is able to hit a maximum speed of 125MB/s where data transfer is concerned, making it up to 400% faster compared to the speediest USB 2.0 hard drive in the market today. The Buffalo HD-HXU3 benefits from having the Fujitsu MB86C30A USB 3.0 to SATA IC within, hence being able to achieve such phenomenal transfer speeds. Expect the Buffalo DriveStation HD-HXU3 to come in 1TB, 1.5TB and 2TB capacities when it hits Europe and the Middle East sometime in Q4 this year, although there is no word on pricing to date.
