On the storage front, Western Digital introduced its fastest My Book external hard drive ever — the new My Book 3.0 desktop external drives that they explain are among the first devices certified with the SuperSpeed USB 3.0 interface. With an interface that's up to 10 times faster than the previous-generation USB 2.0 interface, the high-performance My Book 3.0 drive significantly reduces the time it takes to open and save large files.
The SuperSpeed USB 3.0 interface on My Book 3.0 drives also provides transfer rates of up to 5 gigabits-per-second, allowing users to open and save files up to 4.7 times faster than USB 2.0.
