Buffalo announces line of 100GB 2.5-inch drives

By Ryan Block

We've been hearing about the impending 100GB 2.5-inch drives for a few months now, but it looks like Buffalo went ahead and got to market first.  Yeah, Buffalo are the guys who make the wireless chipsets and other various electronics, so we're not too sure how sketch these drives are going to be (after all, people don't even trust real drive manufacturers anymore).  That said, they're releasing the the USB-powered devices in mid-July at 55,650¥ (about $510 US), with 80 and 60GB versions coming as well.  No word yet when these things will be available to OEMs for laptop install (not that we're above cracking the enclosure open and popping it in).
