Comments about Buffalo 3TB DriveStation Axis Velocity USB 3.0 External Desktop Hard Drive:
Appreciate having a large capacity fast backup drive. Moving up to USB 3.0 was definitely worth it; actually seeing up to 5x speed increase relative to USB 2.0. Only drawback is that the supplied cable is quite short.
