2.0 out of 5 stars
Works great, when it works.,
By
This review is from: Buffalo Ministation 1TB Portable Shock Resistant USB 2.0 Hard Drive with Data Encryption (Electronics)
Great product at first, handy how the cable tucks away and it all looks very swish.
However after 3 months of use I plugged it in once and it wasn't registering, I picked it up and in the 30 seconds it was plugged in had heated itself up to the point of meltdown. I could have cooked eggs on the thing. Now its a dead block that I have to decide to; send back and loose any chance of data recovery in exchange for another volatile drive, or void my warranty, loose the £100 product and TRY to get some of the data back paying someone else some stupid money that may not even amount to anything. Saying that I'll still probably keep buying buffalo as their other less portable desktop based drives have in some cases lasted me almost 6 years, and still working.

Excellent Piece of Kit,

This review is from: Buffalo Ministation 1TB Portable Shock Resistant USB 2.0 Hard Drive with Data Encryption (Electronics)
This hard drive is really small and compact for a 1TB surprisingly and what makes it more unique is the shock resistant casing despite it feeling plasticky and light. I must add that the the casing's plastic borders do bend when forced, but how often and why would you bend it on purpose. I havent testsd the fall of this drive yet, but feeling the case, it can most definetely take a fall on carpet and even concrete if the device should fall from a acceptable height.
The hard drive came in FAT32 file format which I then had to do a quick format to a NTSC filing system. I can confirm that the hard drive comes with a cleverly concealable USB cable which can remain attached to the hard drive while it is stored away someeher. It did come with an additional extension. Also included are a number of programs which facilitate turbo pc/ turbo copy / pc backup / the hardware encryption facility and RAM disk although I werent keen on Ramdisk too much just in case it interferes with the data already stored on there. The speed of data transfer, mmmm not that noticably faster than other hard drives/usb storage mediums, but it could have been worse,........ so i must say the transfer rate is acceptable. It is definetely worth buying and i hope it remains error free for a long time. The only downfall is that it never came with any pouch or soft case? I would like the case to remain unscratched/dustfree and have that extra protection against the plastic borders, so now I'm having to buy an extra soft case as well! Overall an excellent harddrive.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Compact, rugged & vast capacity,
By Snugzy Bear "Snugz" (Midlands, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Buffalo Ministation 1TB Portable Shock Resistant USB 2.0 Hard Drive with Data Encryption (Electronics)
I bought this on the back of two previous reviews and I endorse all they say.
The drive is very compact by comparison with other external drives I have and in its own right. It feels very solid and well made, inspiring confidence in its ability to withstand the rigours of everyday and travel use unlike some that seem little more than tin cans or plastic boxes with a drive rattling precariously around inside. I've copied the C: drives of two laptops, around 16 memory sticks plus more than a dozen SD cards onto it and I haven't made significant inroads into its seemingly vast capacity. Oh, and the delivery was speedy too.
