USB 3.0 peripherals are starting to come out in droves. The technology has been proven beneficial and absolutely necessary for anyone looking to maximize the performance of all their external components. The speeds that USB 3.0 can provide have shown t...

USB 3.0 offers no performance advantage to eSATA, No eSATA connectivity, Priced higher than eSATA enclosures
The Vantec NexStar 3 SuperSpeed delivers exactly what it promises. You get the performance advantage of USB 3.0 over the 2.0 standard along with the plug & play ease of use we have come to love from the universal serial bus. It manages to deliver the m...
