Besides Freecom, Buffalo is the also one of the first companies to jump into the USB 3.0 bandwagon. Its DriveStation HD-HXU3 offers transfer speed of up to 125MB/s - about 3 to 4 times faster than the fastest USB 2.0 hard drive available to date so you can kiss Turbo USB tweaked driver goodbye. According to USB-IF, Buffalo HD-HXU3 will be powered by Fujitsu MB86C30A USB 3.0 to SATA IC. If Buffalo's current DriveStation series is any indication, Buffalo will likely activate the Fujitsu IC's AES full-disk encryption engine, and ship with a full version of Memeo AutoSync backup software. Also launched is a USB 3.0 card to take advantage of the new SuperSpeed USB mode. The company will initially ship the USB 3.0 drive in 1TB, 1.5TB and 2TB as well as the add-on card in Middle East and Europe in Q4 2009.
