A little expensive
Before you laugh at the name of the company, let me tell you: Buffalo is a reputed brand internationally. This time around, I've reviewed Buffalo DriveStation 250GB (HD-HC250U2) external storage drive. And before I give you a verdict, let's delve into what the drive offers.
Bundle
Buffalo DriveStation 250 GB External storage (HD-HC250U2)
Power adapter
USB cable (Type-B)
Software CD
Printed manuals
Features
The DriveStation is a neat looking black and silver colored chassis. The front panel houses the power and access lights behind a small rectangular mirror-finish plate. It's only when the drive is powered on and in use that you're able to see both the lights.

Where are these available. I believe rather than believing in IDE disks in the computer it would be better to go for something like these.......

But why review a 250GB when there is a 500GB network drive available?
prashant | mumbai | 05/10/07 09:05 AM | Report abuse Reply
Do you work for a company? Do you take back up for more than 250MB? C'mon buddy, it is just a review and it is very sueful to people like me who use it for home purpose.
