The SuperSpeed USB 3.0 interface offers a transfer rate of five gigabits per second (Gbps) compared to USB 2.0 which offers 480 megabits per second (Mbps). 4MB can be transferred in just 0.02 seconds meaning one song or one high resolution photo can be stored in the blink of an eye and a full length HD movie takes just 2.3 minutes to transfer. The new hard drive is compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1 interfaces.

The minimalist design was inspired by retro electronics and combines a grey, brushed aluminum casing with the logo stenciled in red. The casing includes ventilation slits to facilitate even heat dissipation to ensure reliable performance.

The unit is available in densities ranging from 1TB to 2TB.
