Buffalo DriveStation 2TB SATA 3 Gbps DDR Desktop Hard Drive

The Buffalo HD-GD2.0U3 is an external desktop hard drive that delivers 2TB of reliable storage through a USB 3.0 interface. A built-in 1GB DRAM cache pushes transfer speeds up to 2.3 times faster than standard USB 3.0 drives, so moving large video files or full system images feels closer to solid-state performance.

Getting started is uncomplicated. Connect the drive to a Windows PC or a Mac and it appears immediately, ready for drag-and-drop backups or routine file storage. Families can archive years of photos and 4K movies, small offices can safeguard project documents, and gamers can expand their library without opening their computer case.

The enclosure can stand upright beside a monitor or lie flat under a TV, which helps it fit neatly into living rooms, dorm rooms, and workstations. Buffalo’s Backup Utility lets you create automatic schedules, SecureLock encryption adds a layer of privacy, and the Eco Manager feature cuts power consumption when the drive sits idle.
