Buffalo announces 320GB portable hard drive

You can never be too good looking or have too many gigabytes on your person, which is why Buffalo has just announced what it's touting as the "world's largest" portable external hard drive, a 320GB dynamo called the MiniStation Turbo USB HD-PS320U2. This 5,400rpm platter features 256-bit AES encryption courtesy of Buffalo's Secure Lock Ware utility, and Windows users also getting Memeo's AutoBackup software thrown in to boot. Look for this portable powerhouse next month for around £155 ($319).

It would be elegant if they could make the housing slightly longer/wider and insert a recoiling usb cable.

Price seems a bit too high for me. I swear I've seen other drives at Staples for half that price.

This is a 2.5" drive, the ones that are cheaper would be based on the 3.5" technology. The larger models also require an external power supply, which this one probably doesn't.

Seems like a pretty cool drive to me.

Until Buffalo makes a replacement fan available for my 250GB Linkstation, I will always post on every Buffalo product review that Buffalo has poor product support. A $5 component that breaks 2 months after the warranty expires should not be totally out of stock! And if they can't supply the component, they should replace the unit for free even if it's past warranty. Steer clear of this company!

The 250GB flavor requires two free usb ports to operate.
Was a pain in the ass to use on a MacBookPro.
