SEAGATE DEBUTED TODAY AT CES the BlackArmor PS110 USB 3.0 portable external hard drive performance kit for notebook computers. The all-in-one USB 3.0 toolkit packages a 500GB 7200RPM 2.5–inch portable hard drive, power cable and PC express card, to deliver speeds up to three times faster than its USB 2.0 predecessor. The USB 3.0 speed has been specified at 4.8 Gbs per second or a ten times improvement over USB 2.0, however this is theoretical performance, and the new Seagate BlackArmor USB 3.0 portable drive achieves 3X performance over USB 2.0 in real world testing. |
