At A Glance

The G-Dock ev features removable drives that can be used as portable hard drives.

It's easy to insert drives into or remove drives from the miniSwap/U3, and it also provides good USB 3 performance.

If you're looking for a fast, capacious, not-too-expensive direct-attached backup drive, look no further: Buffalo's DriveStation DDR uses 1GB of DDR3 memory to dramatically enhance write performance.
