Some of the 1TB HDD have a transfer rate of 6Gb/S and some have a transfer rate of 3Gb/s. Mine has a 3Gb/s in it, will everything else being the same

There is a small jumper that comes with the drive that will allow you to make it either 3 or 6 whichever you need, the 6 is faster and may work with your system, Try it on 6 first and if it doesn't work you can use the 3 .

Currently you are working with the standard rate; "buffer-to-computer" interface is 3.0 Gbit/s SATA. HDD data transfer rate depends upon the rotational speed of the platters and the data recording density. This is controlled by the controllers. To get the 6.0 Gbit speed your motherboard needs to be able to handle SATA 6Gb/s drive controllers. This is pretty standard on new motherboards. Your motherboard may be using the 3Gb controllers thus only getting the standard transfer rate.

The drive is capable of 6. Works fine at 3. May see increase in speed over 3 only drive due to buffering

File transfer is a bit slow. You may want to look into a Thunderbolt drive instead.

Hi, Depend of your switch, if your switch is 1000MB the speed will be seted automatically.The speed of the hard drive is important too when you transfer something over the network.Regards

There is an article on Ars Technica you may want to read called "Putting hard drive reliability to the test shows not all disks are equal". I don't think Amazon allows URLs to posted here so you can use Google to search for the web page. There are interesting results shown for the different drive manufacturers.

no you will need to buy that separate or buy a hard drive enclosure, i personally purchased one that is 3.0 usb for faster transfer speed.

My similar drive (5TB) is also equipped for USB 3, but it works great on my 2.0 ports. I assume it could transfer faster on 3.0, but there's no incompatibility.

G-Technology G-DRIVE with Thunderbolt (0G03124) has a transfer rate of up to 165 MB/s. http://g-technology.com/products/g-drive-thunderbolt

I believe the transfer rate really depends on the speed of your USB ports on your computer. I use my GoFlex to back up my computer files. I do not recall it being all that slow. Cheers.

SATA 1.5 Gbit/s and SATA 6 Gbit/s are compatible with each other. Most devices which are only SATA 1.5 Gbit/s can connect with devices that are SATA 6 Gbit/s, and vice-versa, though SATA 1.5 Gbit/s devices only connect with SATA 6 Gbit/s devices at the slower 1.5 Gbit/s speed. SATA 3 Gbit/s and SATA 6 Gbit/s are compatible with each other. Most devices which are only SATA 3 Gbit/s can connect with devices that are SATA 6 Gbit/s, and vice-versa, though SATA 3 Gbit/s devices only connect with SATA 6 Gbit/s devices at the slower 3 Gbit/s speed. That being said, this cable allows you to connect your SSD drive to a USB 3 port on your computer and transfer data at a higher rate. However, if your computer has only USB 2 ports, then the max transfer rate will be at the lower USB 2 level capability.

I guess it not means the size of the HD, but it has a limit size of transfer, if the file is 200gbs it cant be transfer, the max size of the files that can be transfer is 160 gb, no metter if the HD is 4 Tb. You can transfer all files u want but the files cant be bigger that 160 gb.so le read again: [it will transfer files] "Up to 480 Mbps data transfer rates,[but those files that can be transfer at that speed had a size limit:] 160GB capacity max" Thats is what I understand.

Hi Bandi, Technically, your drive is capable of making disk-to-host transfers of up to 110 MB/s, and USB 2.0 maxes out at 60 MB/s, where USB 3.0 maxes at around 125 MB/s. Your drive will probably never reach 110 MB/s, but I would suggest using a USB 3.0 enclosure so that your drive can run as fast as it pleases. Besides, at some point you'll probably upgrade even your "backup drive", and you'll want the speed. On a personal note, I love this enclosure. You'll need to buy some little rubber feet from the hardware store to keep it from sliding around, but other than that, it's great! Jack

I haven't tested it but it appears that it will do it because both my drives have data on them.

Well to be honest I do not know, nor have I looked into the exact Transfer Speed. But I do know that It is not slow by any means when transferring your data.

If you are going to get a 2.5 drive, go with the 6.0mbps transfer rate!! or you will not get the full functionallity that comes with having the solid state portion of the drive. It requires you to be able to set the drive up as ACHI in the BIOS, or else it will just function like any other 3.0mbps hard drive. I have 3 Seagate 500 Hybrids in a raid with each drive partitioned in half. giving me a theoretical 6 drives at 250 gb per drive. I like having my games on their own partitions, for faster read times, and my startups are under 2 mins.

They don't publish what speed it is. They source different hard drive manufacturers. More than likely it is 7200 to meet the specs. From the various reviews from professionals, it meets their published specs. The transfer rates are very good. I liked mine.

Hi Robert, It should so far mine has read every drive that I have used it on Except on one. That was a Western Digital Blue 1 Tb.

I'm running this drive on ACHI, so yea, it works. ACHI says its only running at 1.5 GB/s when it should be 3 GB/s for my motherboard and the drive clearly supports up to 6GB/s but it doesn't really matter since you'll pretty much never go too far over 200 MB/s with one of these drives.
