After the announcement of the Ministation external HDD with TurboUSB technology last August, Buffalo Technologies released this week a new device with capacity 500GB which is close to double of their last offering of 320GB. TurboUSB is a technology that promises faster data transfers over a USB (versions 2.0 and 1.1 are both supported) connection; according to the company, their technology can outperform others by more than 60% which is pretty good if you need to transfer lots of data fast. Moreover, the HDD’s Shock Resistant technology protects data from bumps, drops or turbulence while the SecureLockWare software prevents other people for accessing your data without proper authorization. Finally, the MiniStation TurboUSB external HDD is designed with a convenient wrap around USB cable to keep things tidy when you travel and the Memeo AutoBackup Software for the Microsoft Windows operating system.
