These days I’m seeing more and more portable storage manufacturers releasing new products supporting USB 3.0, which is very good news to consumer. It’d be better if there are fair share of support for Thunderbolt too, but since Thunderbolt is still in its early implementation stage, we’ll have to settle for USB 3.0 for the time being.

Gigabyte is joining the USB 3.0 external drive bandwagon, as the Taiwanese giant has launched a new Gigabyte A2 external USB 3.0 hard disk drive, which is available in 320GB, 500GB, 640GB and 750GB of storage capacities.

Measuring 113mm x 76mm x 14mm and weighing 136grams, the 2.5-inch external HDD has a heat-resistant casing, an internal shock/vibration absorption mechanism and a maximum transfer rate of 4.8Gb/s. The storage device comes in two colors such as Pearl White and Charcoal Gray.
