"With the new MiniStation Stealth and DriveStation Axis LED, Buffalo has once again delivered powerful yet affordable storage solutions for today’s growing storage needs."

The MiniStation Stealth is a compact portable hard drive that is USB powered so there are no additional cables to manage and no need for a separate power source. Plug the MiniStation Stealth into any USB port on your PC or Mac computer and add capacity or store files to take on the road.

The DriveStation Axis LED is an external hard drive for the addition of external storage to any device using a USB port. Featuring an integrated capacity meter and a unique chassis, the DriveStation Axis LED can be positioned vertically or horizontally, adapting to the location it is used in for efficient use of space and providing feedback regarding storage capacity.

Included with both the MiniStation Stealth and the DriveStation Axis LED is Buffalo’s Buffalo Tools utility suite designed to enhance Windows PC performance and user experience. It features TurboPC, a utility designed to enhance PC performance for up to 2X faster file transfers. Also included, Buffalo’s Backup Utility protects your important files and documents by backing up PCs to Buffalo external hard drive and it provides a data restore function. Store, back up and transport your content with plug and play connectivity.
