Buffalo Technology MiniStation Cobalt 640 GB USB 2.0 Slim Portable Hard Drive with TurboUSB HD-PE640U2/WH (Pearl White)

     How many times have you ever said it? How again and again have you ever said it? "I have gotten to keep a copy my data!" i am unable to tell you ways many times I've said it during this last year since shopping for my new laptop. Why, I even bought the one with CD Write on it simply thus I might "back up" my information! I've written articles, sent out newsletters, sent and received plenty of e-mail messages, created a bunch of folders, written an e-book, created an data booklet and even added my internet web site folders! Life is good! So what is the downside you may ask? does one see "backed up my information" anywhere in that mighty list above? Let me answer that one for you....nope! Did I forget to list it above? Let me answer that one, too....nope!

     Well, that is not a retardant unless your system goes down is it? Oh please.... let me answer that one for you furthermore may.....yep!!! thus by currently you recognize where i'm going with this. My system went down and that i wasn't backed up! It's so straightforward to ditch backing up or to place it off till yet again or simply to assume since you are not having any issues, everything should be OK. But, take it from me, it isn't OK.

     In just a second you'll be able to go from having all of your data to having none of your data. Articles, newsletters, e-mails, information, pictures, graphics, files - folders.... everything gone! Fortunately the technicians were able to get a keep a copy of my data on behalf of me. however there are instances when even a technician cannot retrieve your data. During this nightmare, I additionally pointed out that despite the fact that your data could also be saved and restored, they can not keep a copy actual programs, simply the data contained within the programs. This has caused me to assume twice concerning ordering and downloading programs rather than getting the CD of the program. I needed the downloads as a result of they were instant. But simply as you'll be able to download in a second, your data may be lost in a second. Then you're having to undertake to seek out receipts and get in touch with firms to undertake to download once more, which may gift another downside inside itself.

     Fortunately on behalf of me, the people/companies I had purchased downloads from, when given the order range or receipt, allowed me to download once more at no charge, however this might not invariably be the case. So, simply weigh that in your call when getting another program by downloading. If you cannot keep a copy all of your files and folders, a minimum of build back ups of those you have got data you've got written in. Articles, newsletters, e-mails, addresses. something that might extremely be troublesome to undertake to interchange.

     Determine a particular time or schedule for backing up. It may be each few days or a weekly keep a copy. this might be alittle time consuming, that is why we've got a bent to place it off, however within the long haul it'll undoubtedly be a time saver as a result of.... Backing up, all things thought-about, extremely is not that onerous to do!

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!!!
