Buffalo Technology MiniStation Cobalt 500 GB USB 2.0 Portable Hard Drive with TurboPC HD-PET500U2/W (White)


     The Buffalo MiniStation Cobalt USB 3.0 may be a nice deal for a USB 3.0-ready laptop. If your laptop lacks USB 3.0, however, you will not be able to profit of the drive's quick speed. At around (the 500GB version) or (the 640GB version), the MiniStation Cobalt USB 3.0 is one among the foremost reasonable USB 3.0-based transportable laborious drives on the market.

     Nonetheless, if your laptop does not support USB 3.0, yet, that most of the present one do not, you will be probably at an advantage going for the marginally costlier Seagate BlackArmor PS110 USB 3.0 that features a USB 3.0 PC card. If you would like one thing that conjointly supports FireWire, verify the new Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex, that comes with optional adapters that collectively support all existing forms of storage connections.

I have bought two of these now- one for work and one for personal use. They are fast and flexible and can be formatted and partitioned like any other hard drive for us on PC and/or Macintosh. The price history of this item is like a brick being thrown off an airplane. I first bought it about $70 in July and was able to get the second one for $46 in December.
Keep in mind that that 500 GB = 500 x 1,000,000,000 bytes which is actually about 465 informational GiB. This is standard marketing practice for sellers of storage devices. I wouldn't call it deceptive, but don't be fooled into thinking that your computer will give you an actual 500 formatted GB.

The Buffalo Technology JustStore Portable Hard Drive stacks up nicely with a similar, slightly higher priced, 500GB Western Digital portable hard drive I own. I have noticed a quicker response time with the Buffalo Technology using my WDTV HD media player. I'm not impressed with the included mini USB cable though. I have had a multitude of transfer errors using the included cable. I've dealt with similar problems before using small diameter USB cables. Fortunately I have others I can use including the one that came with my WD portable hard drive. If not for this minor oversight I would give this product 4 stars. It was my main motivation for writing this review so hopefully I can help out others. I would still recommend this product. One other plus over my WD hard drive is it doesn't have a bright annoying LED light. Just a small blue one. While connected to my WDTV HD media player, the WD hard drive LED stays lit all the time even when the WDTV is in stand by. The Buffalo hard drive goes into stand by and the LED turns off.

Buffalo Tech. definitely `Kept It Simple' with this hard drive. I hooked it up, my PC recognized it, and in a matter of minutes I was copying files to it just as if it was an internal hard drive. Accessing files is just as easy. My daughter has a Mac and all we had to do was to initially connect the Buffalo drive directly to her Mac and download the software. Our wireless system allows both the Mac and our laptop to easily copy and retrieve files without any issues. Price was also very reasonable.

    I was excited to purchase this hard drive for my Macbook Pro at a great price and it worked great right out of the box - FOR SIX MONTHS. Suddenly it was no longer being recognized by my Mac - and Utilities could not repair it. Some research online showed that many others experienced similar problems and the fault seemed to lay with the circuits utilized. Buffalo promptly responded to my first inquiry and said someone would follow up within 48 hours. . . that was over three weeks ago and still no follow up despite yet another contact with the company. A DEAD hard drive is a NO GOOD hard drive. I now need to purchase a more known, reputable product next time and I advise you to do the same!!!
