USB disk with SSD speed!

Postby viking60 » 09 May 2013, 16:22

ImageBuffalo DriveStation DDR is an external USB 3.0 harddisk with the same speed as SSD disks.
It is the first that incorporates 1GB (!) of DDR3 memory as cache to boost the data speeds
Once in a while, there's a revolutionary product that changes the conventional expectations for the entire class of devices, and among all USB 3.0-based external hard drives, the Buffalo DriveStation DDR is that product.


It is fairly cheap too.

And they need all the help they can get these days....
MS is stopping the support for the OS that most of them use (XP) and are trying to force them to use a smartphone OS (Windows 8) with approximately 3% market share (on the phones). :C
