EXPERT REVIEW

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.

Hi Ganesh, just go to the company website (google it). They have a distributor in hyderabad, located in Sindhi Colony. If your budget allows you then checkout the 500gb and 1tb versions too.

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?

by prashant, mumbai, on Oct 05, 2007 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.
