HD-GDU3
Series
USB3.0/2.0 Storage with 1GB DRAM cache
1GB DRAM cache
The HD-GDU3’s high-capacity DRAM cache permits 
incredibly fast data transfers. The DRAM is used to 
process data sent to the drive, thereby allowing the 
computer to fi nish the task of transferring the data 
sooner. You don’t slow down, you go faster.
USB 3.0 interface
The high speed 7,200 RPM hard disk also reads 
and writes data faster, meaning you spend less time 
waiting when transferring and saving fi les.
TurboPC EX utility
The TurboPC EX performance and copy enhancement utility makes saves, copies, and transfers fi les blazingly fast. The more 
data you need to transfer, the more time you save.
Eco Manager
The Eco Manager system regulates power usage and conserves energy by cutting power to the hard drive when it’s inactive, 
helping the effort to reduce energy use—automatically.
Backup Utility
Speeds data transfers during backups, so you wait less. Backups can also be schedule at preprogrammed times. 
RAMDISK Utility
The BUFFALO Tools RAMDISK utility uses the computer’s memory (RAM) to create a small “virtual hard disk.” This allows 
fi les to be processed much faster, so it’s fantastic for working with fi les that involve a lot of editing and saving.
DISK FORMATTER 2
This software simplifi es the task of formatting hard disk drives.
The DriveStation is compatible with both Mac and Windows 
computers and sets up without hassles.
With its functional look and design, this unit is attractive but 
unobtrusive, fi tting in anywhere.
