With half a Terabyte of storage and unmatched speed, the new MiniStation allows users to easily take memorable content such as photos or high-definition videos to their relative’s house or presentations and business sensitive files to a meeting across the globe.

“In today’s mobile society, consumers and professionals alike need to be able to take their digital content with them anywhere.

The 500GB MiniStation TurboUSB with 5400RPM is compatible with Windows and Mac OS X, uses Buffalo’s own TurboUSB technology to offer up to 30% faster transfer rates than most USB hard drives. Buffalo’s unique Shock Resistant technology suspends the drive between its impact resistant plastic chassis and surrounds it with shock absorbing material, protecting your digital life from bumps, drops, or shocks. For added security, the MiniStation TurboUSB is equipped with Buffalo’s SecureLockWareTM, preventing unauthorized access in the event the drive is lost or stolen. The drive does not require any drivers, is pre-formatted and ready for immediate use, and it connects via USB 2.0 and 1.1, making it easy to use and practical. Not only does the compact size make the MiniStation ideal for travel, but the wrap-around cable provides convenient cable management while traveling. Additionally, it ships with Memeo’s AutoBackup which ensures that your data is fully protected.
