Buffalo Debuts Debuts 500GB MiniStation TurboUSB

Buffalo
Technology announced the US debut of its 500GB MiniStation
TurboUSB (HD-PS500U2). As one of the highest capacity portable storage
devices on the market today, the latest addition to Buffalo’s
award-winning line of storage solutions is ideal for users who need to
keep and protect large amounts of important data while on-the-go.

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. They demand a
high capacity solution that can accommodate all of their music, photos,
HD videos or mission critical data,” said Takayuki Nishioka, CEO of
Buffalo Technology, USA. “The new forward-looking MiniStation can suit
your data storage needs now and into the future, which underscores our
dedication to developing high performance, reliable products that
satisfy the growing needs of our customers.”

Compatible
with Windows and Mac OS X, the 5400RPM MiniStation 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 SecureLockWare, 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.

Backed
by a limited one-year warranty and toll-free 24/7 technical support,
the 500GB MiniStation TurboUSB (HD-PS500U2) is available this month at
an estimated street price of $329.
