Great Capacity, Slower than other external HD’s,
The other reviews aren’t really providing any advice about the product itself so I’ll take a shot at it.
The Pros:
The hard drive is physically small. It’s about 2 inches wider and half inch longer than a VHS tape (what’s a VHS tape? Ask your parents). The 500GB hard drive that it’s replacing was bigger and very loud when it was being used. This unit is also very quiet, it has a tiny fan installed to help keep it cool,(which is a good thing because it gets warm to the touch when running) but the fan can only really be heard when the drive is powering up or coming out of sleep mode. Otherwise it’s virtually soundless.
The lights on the front of the unit look cool, the whole blue LED with glossy black plastic look matches my PS3 and my Dell and the lights also roughly indicate how much free space is left on the drive.
The drive also seems to be very stable. I’ve had it and have been using it every day for about 6 months now and have received no errors or read failures. The transfer speed on this thing is also pretty good.I’ve been using it to back up all of my mp3 files and DVD’s and while it’s not as fast as my external flash drive,it’s not painstakingly slow either when you’re backing up files only.
The Cons:
I gave it 3 stars and not 4 because the first of all read/write/seek times are below average. If you are trying to put something on the hard drive while you’re say in a different folder or deleting a file from anywhere else on the drive, or trying to play a song or watch a video that’s on the drive it is slow. An external drive is usually slower than an internal drive but it’s so bad on this drive that I only use it if I know I’ll be backing up files ONLY, or only watching a movie, or listening to music. Basically it sucks at multitasking.
The last con is the software it comes with it. The program that changes the amount of time before the drive goes into sleep mode is simple to use and comes in handy.This is the program I use. All of the other programs installed are either rubbish or there are better programs out there to use intstead.
Turbo copy actually slowed down my file transfers, and when I tried turbo PC it resulted in my PC giving me strange read/write errors and occasionally freezing so I leave those two programs off all the time. it also comes with Notepad, explorer and paint(really Buffalo?) which have been preinstalled on all PCs since the beginning of time.

PS3 users NEED THIS.Period **UPDATE**,
This is gonna be quick and to the point here.If you own a PS3 and want to expand your storage and DON’T want to mess around with software or re-configuring another HD to a specified format (FAT32) Just save the time and energy and GET THIS.MASSIVE storage and boots up when you turn on your PS3.I cant even BEGIN to tell you how much I have stored on this thing.I’m not really a gamer,so I have my ENTIRE music collection(which is roughly 120-150 gb)ALL my pics, and a whole ****load of movies(mostly high def-but under 4gb(unless its seperated into parts w/ the MKV2VOB software)and STLL have about 350gb left. So save the research time,and just get it!Not bad for around $100,I say.Oh,on a side note-this does come w/ its own power source(not through usb) BUT it IS relatively “portable” if need-be.Take it to a friends,plug it into your tv(if you can)or blu-ray player,it works like a giant thumb drive basically,ONLY you need to plug it in for power.
**UPDATE**
There is actually a BETTER version of this(made by the same company)its called;
Buffalo Technology MiniStation Stealth 1 TB USB 2.0 Portable External Hard Drive HD-PCT1TU2/BB
Its basically the same concept AND PRICE,but smaller and does NOT require external power,its usb powered.(I just ordered one because I’m out of space on my other model!)

Buffalo rocks!,
I bought this to work along with my Digital media player. It works beautifully, no problem. My favorite feature is the guage that lets you know how much memory you have left, pretty cool. Shipping rocks too got it next day!
