What is the read / write speed of this drive in MBps?

The Buffalo DriveStation Axis Transfer Rate Depends upon the type of computer the drive is install on. (example) A computer with a 3.xghz processor, 4 to 8gb of ram, and a 300mbs data bus, will get 7 to 10 MBPS transfer rate when copying data from the computers' main drive to the USB Buffalo drive, and 20 to 30 MBPS when copying data from the USB Buffalo drive to the computers' main drive.

I am using an older desktop computer and with a USB 3.0 card installed into my computer. Testing speed using HD Tune Pro and a 2GB file I get a write speed 105 MB/s and a read speed of 130MB/s. You will never get maximum stated speed as this is faster than a mechanical Hard Drive you would need a SSD Drive for maximum speed. I purchased the 64GB Version late 2013 and use every day and never had a problem and love the speed.

A regular harddrive reads and writes about about 80 megs per second, this drive does it at around 400 mps. Its really impressive, but you need to make sure both the drive and the computer its connected to have SSDs and thunderbolt to take advantage of the speed.

Hey Gov, based on my testing of the card, read and write speeds of 44.4MB/s and 19.1MB/s respectively. Hope that helps.

http://wdc.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1704I quote: "We can only guarantee drive capacity. We cannot guarantee a particular internal hard drive model, data interface, rotational speed, or cache size in the external hard drive enclosure."So it's probably 5400 RPM (the cheaper option).

My guess (as it's so hard to find the rpm spec anywhere on the WD site) is that it's 5400rpm. That said, it's pretty zippy and I've had no problems (other than Pro Tools refusing to work with it due to the non-Oxford chipset) streaming audio and video from it.

A class 10 drive transfers data at 10 10MB/s, this is a USB 2.0 and 3.0 Compatible drive, provided you have a blue USB 3.0 port on your computer, USB 2.0 runs around 30 MB/s and 3.0 in theory is 10x faster, but most likely will max out at around 100 MB/s. If you don't have a 3.0 port you would be better off buying a 2.0 thumb drive for less money.

It is not specified in any information included with the drive , nor anything I see on-line at WDC.com. Probably a 5,400 RPM drive but it doesn't really matter. The drive is intended for backing up data not for high performance data access. The slowest link will determine the transfer speed so the USB controller on your computer will be a limiter. It took me over 5 1/2 hours to copy 622 GB to this unit. It held close to a 30 MB/sec rate on a USB 2 port. About the same results for a Firewire 800 connection I have used on other tests on other (faster drives).My suggestion is ... don't worry about the RPMs. If you need backup space this will work well.

mine reads 1.7 Ghz. It appears fast because there's basically a SSD instead of a hard drive.

I'm getting just under 130MB/s read and write. It took under 2 hours to copy some files (around a TB) that took seven hours under USB 2.0.

I got between 5.6 MB/s for large files over 4 GB and 6.2 MB/s for files less than 1MB using a USB 2.0 port.
