    The PQI H566 USB 3.0 external hard drive is a looker

    Posted on March 30, 2010 | No Comments
    >PQI was one of the first companies to out a USB 3.0 flash drive back in 2009 and it's back again with a 2.5-inch USB 3.0 external hard drive. You should know the drill by now.

The H566 comes either in 320GB, 500GB, or 640GB flavors and utilizes USB 3.0 to transfer files at speeds that max out at 5.0Gbps while providing backwards compatibility with USB 2.0. The drive dons a rather sexy metallic silver casing and ships with data encryption tools for the aluminium hat-wearing folk.

    eSATA is faster than USB 3.0 — at least right now

    Posted on February 5, 2010 | No Comments
    Most hardware manufacturers are finally rolling out USB 3.0 devices. We've seen motherboards, hubs, hard drives, and notebooks all rocking the new and improved USB standard.
