Buffalo’s MiniStation portable drive is reasonably compact considering it holds a 500GB 2½in hard disk. Its glossy finish picked up fingerprints almost instantly and we weren’t too confident of its durability in the event of a slightly knock or bump. L...
Bottom line It comes with plenty of software but slow performance means the MiniStation isn’t a particularly great-value disk...

Bottom line In spite of its slightly low random write speeds, the 1 TB Buffalo Technology MiniStation is still a decent enough USB 3.0 external hard drive. Its main selling point is its large storage capacity...

The Buffalo MiniStation Stealth USB 3.0 drive gives you a lot for $125. It comes with numerous apps, including 128-bit software encryption, a good backup app, and extra utilities for boosting transfer speed. Add all of this up and you've got an excelle...

Bottom line We prefer the well-designed apps included with the Western Digital drive, and both the LaCie and Iomega drives felt better constructed. However, the $125 Buffalo MiniStation Stealth gets good marks due to its generally fast speed and intuitive backup a...
