The palette of available colours suits every personal taste – no matter whether professional colours like black or silver are preferred or flashy colours like yellow, pink and green are in favour. Only 127mm x 82mm x 20mm in size Verbatim’s superfast USB 3.0 Portable Store ‘n’ Go Hard Disk Drive is very handy – making it easy to store and carry the digital and day-to-day working files around. Its stylish smooth design sits neatly on the modern desktop as the perfect accompaniment to your laptop. Due to the new USB 3.0 technology the portable hard drive has a transfer rate of up to 4.8 Gbit per second, offering a fast solution to transfer even large files in a short space of time. The drive comes with a single-cable solution that provides both data and power connection eliminating the need for a separate power supply. As usual, it also has a 24 month guarantee.
Software for Back-ups, Burning and Energy Saving
Included on the Portable USB3.0 Hard Drives are two software packages. The first package, Nero BackItUp and Burn Essentials, combines three important functions in just one piece of software: as well as regularly backing-up all files and folders users can also burn photos, videos or other data content onto CD, DVD or Blu-ray Disc, and recover damaged files with Nero RescueAgent.
The second package, the GREEN BUTTON software, reduces energy consumption and extends the drive’s life expectancy by automatically placing the Verbatim Store `n` Go into sleep mode after a programmed period of time or by the user manually clicking on the GREEN BUTTON on the desktop.

Its good to see that companies are adopting usb 3.0 slowly. But i guess it won’t become standard until Intel/AMD starts this by default.

What's the point of USB3 here, when the 2,5 inch drive inside cannot fulfill even the USB2 bandwith?

The USB 3.0 HDD is manufactured differently from the USB 2.0 and can take the upgraded bandwith and transfer speeds - the only real issue at the moment is 'when' Intel/AMD will have USB 3.0 as standard in their PCs. If your PC has a USB 3.0 PCIe adaptor, then the Verbatim USB3.0 2.5" HDD will transfer 10 times faster than its USB2.0 counterpart.

Sorry to say, but this is not true. HDD technology is improving of course, but not nearly as fast as Helen hopes. Of course you can add cache to HDD and do other tricks, but this helps only with small amounts of data. HDD is still HDD and you can add whatever interface to it, but at the end you still only get the speed of the HDD inside. Excuse me, but this is Marketing BS we're talking here.

@Zlarty, how exactly do you explain the differences in benchmarks then. USB 2 can't max out a standard 2.5 inch 5400rpm drive never mind a 7200rpm 2.5" drive. So what Helen said is very true, and marketing may indeed be bullshit but you sir are wrong. sorry.
