Not bad. But it says up to 64% MAX compared to usb 2.0. Who knows, maybe in reality it's actually just 15% overall. I'd wait until hexus get their reviews done on it b4 making a hype.

Doesn't actually sound like its anything to do with USB, unless I've read wrongly.

5400RPM drive instead of 4200RPM - doesnt mention cache.

Newer variants of drive should outperform older types too.

whats wrong with 7200rpm 2.5" drives for when you want to boast about speed?

or are they keeping that one back for the next amazing speed breakthrough claim?
