This is what it takes to win second place at a Swiss design contest: it’s a toaster printer. Stack your slices up top, and they’re fed through the heating element one at a time, soon plopped out the bottom and ready for butter-slathering. But we like our toast with jam, but not jammed inside a printer-like toaster. We do like the doe-eyed friendly look of this odd contraption, though.

We’d wish for butter cartridges, but if they take after their printer versions, we’re not thinking that would be worth $59.95 a pop. Beyond that, as soon as we saw the word “printer” associated with toast, we were thinking you might be able to feed your own custom designs into it, printing the message or graphic of your choice right onto the bread. Not yet — maybe that’s in store for version 2.0.

Make way, everyone, because here comes USB 3.0. This Buffalo DriveStation HD-HXU3 is one of the first drives to take advantage of that serious speed we’re all going to be enjoying, zipping along at 625MB per second. What does that mean for you and me? Transfers that are more than 12 times faster, that’s what. Compared with that dizzying speed, the old-hat USB 2.0 pokes along at a paltry 50MB per second.

The eye-catching DriveStation has high-falutin’ design to match its pioneering speed, looking like a shiny, black Xbox 360. And it’s not that much more expensive, either, available in 1TB ($200), 1.5TB ($250) or 2TB ($400) capacities.

Until USB 3.0 is standard issue on motherboards, you’ll need to install a dual-port USB 3.0 PCI Express interface card, which, incidentally, will also be released by Buffalo at the same time as this attractive-looking enclosure. If you’re not up for installing that extra paraphernalia for now, the DriveStation’s also backward compatible with USB 2.0.
