Portable USB 3.0 storage for everyday backups
The GoHardDrive HD250U3 is a 160GB pocket drive built around a 2.5-inch 5400 RPM mechanism with 8MB cache. It connects through a SuperSpeed USB 3.0 interface that also works with USB 2.0 hosts. The silver aluminium chassis keeps the drive slim and durable for transport between laptop, desktop, MacBook or game console.
Bus-powered operation keeps heat and noise low
Power comes entirely from the USB port so no external adapter is required. The 5400 RPM spindle runs quietly during normal file transfers and backups. Power draw stays within standard USB 3.0 limits, leaving the host port free for other devices.
Fits any USB 3.0 or 2.0 port without extra cables
Plug-and-play support on Windows and Mac OS means the drive appears instantly after a quick reformat if needed. The compact 2.5-inch form factor slips into a bag or pocket, freeing desk space while adding 160GB of capacity for documents, media or game saves.

Questions about this item
How do I install the drive and what step is often missed?
Connect the USB 3.0 cable to a USB 3.0 or USB 2.0 port; the drive is bus-powered so no AC adapter is needed. The step people miss is reformatting the 160GB drive before first use on Windows or Mac.
What maintenance or replacement will the 5400 RPM mechanism need later?
The 2.5-inch hard drive has moving parts; keep the aluminum chassis ventilated and avoid shocks. If the mechanism fails after the warranty period, the entire pocket drive must be replaced.
What limit appears first during sustained transfers on the USB 3.0 link?
The 5400 RPM platter speed and 8MB cache cap sustained throughput well below the 5.0 Gbps USB 3.0 ceiling, so the mechanical drive is the first bottleneck.
