The Buffalo DriveStation is an external USB hard drive that weighs 1.27kg and measures 45mm x 163mm x 200mm with a slide-in clip feature that enables you to stack them together for a neater desktop workspace. This DriveStation is fanless and keeps its cool with a new heat sink chassis design that ensures maximum airflow and longer shelf life. The DriveStation is not only plug-and-play, its setup function, data backup function, and power-on facility is fully automated. The Secure Lock Ware program provides 256-bit AES encryption for greater data security. The only drawback would be the high price - a 400GB model costs around £210 which is a £40 premium over competitors in its class. Well, that's the price to pay for performance and reliability.
