Buffalo Ministation TurboUSB 80 GB

The Buffalo MiniStation TuboUSB 80 GB portable hard drive is in a new class of high performance external hard disk featuring the Turbo USB function that claims to increase the speed. It's aLaptop SATA hard drive housed in a tough black plastic casing surrounded by cushioning material that absorbs shock. One of the major drawback is that it requires extra USB cable for power. TurboUSB dramatically increases the drive speed, by default it is disable; but it can be enabled by using the software accompanying it. It took 56 seconds to write 1 GB of assorted files to the drive in the normal mode; it could achieve the same in just 43 seconds in the Turbo mode.
The bundled software SecureLockWare protects your data from the prying eyes by using a powerful AES encryption algorithm. This software can encrypt not only individual files and folders but the hard ware as a whole. You can enter into the disk after entering the password correctly. Memeo Backup is another useful tool that comes with this drive. It lets you to perform automatic and manual backup of your data in the hard drive. Overall this impresses with performance, features, cost, 2 years warranty, etc. But by spending a little more amount you can get twice the storage capacity and a year more warranty.
