Huge storage with pounding features !!!
Hi there,
I decided to buy this buffalo ministation from amazon when it was £79.99. It was a really good deal as free delivery applied on this product as well. In fact, I bought it in July 2008 leaving a couple of months of testing and quality assuring during the time I was back home in Thailand to make sure my review is fair and useful. My opinion on this ministation is as follows:

** Appearance **
* Great shockproof feature with a wrap-around cable. Very handy for laptop users.
* Robust and good quality case
* Extra DC port for insufficient USB port power supply, with cable included

** Performance **
* A speed of file transfer using TurboUSB software supplied with a drive is a benefit for large movie files. Even though it is not noticeable when a file size is small.
* A backup routine works like a charm as this product comes with Memeo-backup software. You simple set a configuration up, in a very user-friendly way of course, once and it runs automatically every time you connect a device. I find this software as a bonus for the whole package.
* An encryption program is also included in this package. Highly confidential data now become unreadable without a decryption key. This is also another bonus :)

*** Problem ?!?!
- I have no idea why my desktop computer sometimes cannot detect my drive. Here is the reason why I give it 4 stars rather than 5. However, my laptop computer could see it every time. I am skeptical about my desktop setting or something like that.
- only one rarely occurred problem for me :)

In short, Buffalo Ministation is the answer for those who have been searching for a handy ultra-portable hard drive, sturdy, capable of fast transfer, auto-backup on-the-fly and worth of every single pence of your money.

Thank you very much for reading my (rather long)review :) Hope you find it useful and informative.

Good luck on your decision :)

How Cool
I recently purchased this 320GB Ministation and boy was I blown away, the data transfer is far quicker than anything I've used previously, compact and the case is really shockproof. I should know my son decided to throw it down the stairs 2 days after I got it. Plugged it in and it still worked.

Really Satisifed.
