The Verbatim USB 3.0 desktop hard drive features high performance storage using a USB 3.0 “Super Speed” interface. USB 3.0 offers up to 10 times faster data transfer rates than USB 2.0 (based on USB bus speed) providing ultra fast data transfer on the go.
The USB 3.0 Desktop Hard Drive can be supplied with or without a 2 port USB 3.0 PCIe Host card, the choice is yours.
If your desktop PC does not have a USB 3.0 port, you can install the host card into your PC to provide 2 USB 3.0 ports giving full USB 3.0 data transfer speeds. An installation guide is provided in the pack.
USB 3.0 is backwards compatible to any USB 2.0 ports on your PC or notebook.
For added security Nero BackItUp and Burn Essentials software is provided to help back up your laptop or PC's hard drive. BackItUp and Burn Essentials provides 3 applications in 1. Back up all your files, folders, and drives whenever you want, or schedule the auto back up to a set time for added security. Nero Express gives you the option to burn your files to CD or DVD, and with Nero RescueAgent you have an option to recover files should they become damaged.

Verbatim Hard Drives also come with Green Button energy saving software. Green Button software suspends the hard drive from spinning while not in use increasing efficiency and saving energy.
There are 3 ‘Sleep Setting’ options. Set the suspend mode to come in after 10 minutes of use, or by increments of 10 minutes up to 120 minutes. Set the drive to suspend immediately by double clicking the Green Button icon on the desktop, alternatively you can set the drive to ‘Never Suspend the disk’.
