Instead of using traditional storage media as a form of backup, Buffalo decided to branch into Optical Memory instead with the MO-PL640U2. What you get here is 640MB of storage space per disk - more if you're using DVDs. Data is read using a laser beam, and the Buffalo MO-PL640U2 shares a passing resemblance to the Nintendo Wii, docking stand and all. Since it is extremely portable, this makes for an alternative to a portable hard drive for those who are always on-the-go. I must say, 640MB is pittance compared to the amount of data a DVD can store, let alone a USB flash drive. Can't think of any practical use for this so far. Any suggestions?
