We all heard the rumors about the USB 3.0 but my friends i’m glad to let you know that starting today Buffalo will set free on the market the HD-HU3 series of USB 3.0 hard disks. That’s a world’s premiere!

You probably think that a USB 3.0 device is pointless without a controller. It’s true. That’s why NEC’s IFC-PCIE2U3 2-port PCI Expressx1 host controller ( ¥5,300 / $60) will be shipped together with Buffalo’s hard drives. This will only happen in Japan and the announced shipping date was set for late October.

The 1TB and 1.5 TB HDDs will wear ¥20,000 (about $225) and ¥25,300 (about $284) price tags while the 2TB disk will go as high as ¥46,600 (about $523).
