Just got my USB 3.0 500GB Seagate HD going... Copied files of my Alienware (USB 2.0), no big surprise there, but just moved them to my comp in sig and completely satisfied. I moved 36.5GB of misc files at 57MB/s. I am very pleased and I like the HD I bought. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Seagate...kuId=1305249&st=seagate 500GB USB 3&cp=1&lp=3 $79.99 was very reasonable and the performance was worth the money! I certainly recommend it.
USB 3.0 HD complete success!!!

57 megabytes per second is a very fast transfer rate for a Universal Serial Bus external hard drive. USB 3.0 looks promising. Whenever I use my external USB 2.0 Parallel ATA hard drive I get about 12 megabyte per second data transfer rates. Good thing I generally only have about 12 gigabytes to back up. All my valued data is about 22 gigabytes.
