Buffalo DriveStation HDD Enhances Panasonic Home Entertainment Devices

Buffalo Technology (UK) Ltd. proves how memory space can be expanded with its DriveStation HD-AVSU3.

The HDD provides backup capacity for Panasonic camcorders, as well as its Viera flat-screen TVs and Panasonic Blu-Ray recorders.

Since 2010, Buffalo Technology and Panasonic have been cooperating to boost the interaction between home entertainment and memory capacity technology. The result is the DriveStation HDD, which boosts memory capacity of these devices by 1TB or 2TB.

The HD-AVSU3 features USB 3.0 connectivity and is compatible with numerous Panasonic products and any Windows or Mac PC. The high-powered, attractively priced and user-friendly USB HDD storage device allows any recordings to be moved instantly, freeing up memory space on camcorders, TVs or Blu-ray recorders.

USB ports on all Panasonic camcorders, as well as the Viera TVs, enable the Buffalo DriveStation to be connected as a direct external disk,

The HD-AVSU3 is a companion for any living space, with a glossy piano black finish that blends flawlessly into a variety of interior designs. A two-meter USB 3.0 cable is supplied with the DriveStation – and the multimedia memory drive also comes with a connection cable for Panasonic camcorders.

"Both Panasonic and Buffalo are Japanese manufacturers that believe in high quality products. To ensure the best user experience, Buffalo Technology’s HD-AV was developed in close collaboration with Panasonic’s engineering department. Our customers will now be able to enjoy TV recording and streaming at the push of a button," says Fabien Rousseau, director product marketing EMEA at Buffalo.

"Thanks to the Buffalo’s new DriveStation HD-AVSU3 working seamlessly together with our Viera USB recording function, the consumer experience in all of our Plasma and LED TVs becomes a true plug-and-play and reliable solution," says Markus Wagenseil, manager product marketing TV group Panasonic Marketing Europe.

The DriveStation HD-AVSU3, which comes with a two-year warranty, is available at MSRPs of £87.18 for the 1TB capacity version and £108.99 for the 2TB capacity version.
