Accidents happen. And if you're going to buy a portable external USB drive you need one that won't break open at the first little knock. Buffalo's MiniStation drives are like little armoured tanks. The case is toughened, it's shock proof, and has floating protection that protects data even if you drop it.
All that's well and good but what's it like as a hard drive? This 320gb USB harddrive uses TurboUSB which makes a big difference - especially when you want to transfer larger files. You don't need an extra power supply as it's powered through the built in wrap-around USB cable. It comes with Memeo Backup which makes backing up your data very quick and easy. And you can password protect the drive so no-one else can access your important files.
The MiniStation does what it says on the tin. It's fast, it's compact and it's tough as hell. We love it and we think you will too.
