Buffalo Technology MiniStation Metro 1 TB USB 2.0 Portable External Hard Drive with Integrated Flex Cable, Encryption and TurboPC HD-PXT1TU2/B (Black)

This is the merchandise i'm trying for:
1. it's biggest capability however, for 2.5" external drive with a built-in USB cable while not extra power supply needed (tested on my previous laptop, it works good, and in fact on a Desktop Computer). The built-in USB cable is quite short, however works okay (including with Front Panel USB on my Desktop that normaly alternative disk failed). Extend it with the provided extension cable, it works with back USB port however failed in Front USB. additionally the extension cable isn't reliable in my Laptop. therefore I even have to measure with the short built-in USB cable (which isn't a giant downside to me)
2. The enclosure isn't solely stunning (shiny black on one finish, and matte rubber on the opposite end) however additionally appearance and feels terribly strong/durable. it's said will handle a drop, however I don't need to check it. I lost my 1T knowledge on my previous three.5" enclosure owing to accidental drop from my Desktop laptop (about one feet from floor), and have a nightmare to recover it. It additionally comes with a black 'leather' pocket that i actually like, it add a shock resistance and additionally smart to stay the gorgeous enclosure from scratch (because I bring this factor with me everyday with my Laptop).

3. Speed isn't outstanding, however acceptable. the common is regarding 20Mbyte/s. i think that's the limitation of USB a pair of. As comparison, my e-Sata 1Tb 3/5" 7200rpm disk has average of 60Mbyte/s. My RAID-10 7200rpm 2X640Gb direct attach disk perform a median of 120Mbyte/s. For my usage (Mostly for my photo in RAW format, JPG dan tiny JPG) this speed is appropriate, and considering the tiny foot print (compared to the three.5" e-Sata version that need external Power Supply) this can be a decent companion.
