Faster than a speeding bitstream. The Seagate eSATA external hard drives meld a 7200RPM drive that has a 16MB buffer with an eSATA 3.0Gb/s for screaming fast data transfer rates -- the fastest and highest-capacity external backup solution for desktop PCs, media PCs and digital content.

A voluminous 500GB capacity makes this one of the biggest, fastest external drives on the market. This is an exquisite choice for media creation, editing, storage and transfer. State-of-the-art SATA technology brings breakthrough 3 Gb/s performance to digital video workstations, entry-level servers and desktop systems in a sleek, durable and stackable external hard drive.

Don't have an eSATA controller? No problem, in the box it includes a 2-port PCI card, and shielded cables and connectors for fast and simple plug and play. This is a great addition to any system!
