Buffalo is one of the world's best-know storage solutions manufacturer, the company rolling out, over time, a very large number of products of this type, most of which deliver some pretty interesting and unique features, this being also the case with one of their latest offerings, namely the DriveStation Axis LED, a single drive storage solution combining a unique LED capacity meter display with easy to use features and reliable performance. Featuring an easy-to-read integrated capacity meter and a unique chassis, the sleek, attractive DriveStation Axis LED can be positioned vertically or horizontally, adapting to the location it is used in for efficient use of space and providing immediate feedback regarding storage capacity (that, by the way, ranges from 1 to 2TB). Beside the DriveStation Axis LED, Buffalo also introduced the MiniStation Stealth, a compact portable hard drive available in 320 through 640GB storage capacities that is USB powered so there are no additional cables to manage and no need for a separate power source, users being required to simply plug it into an available USB port. Included with both the MiniStation Stealth and the DriveStation Axis LED is Buffalo's multi-purpose Buffalo Tools utility suite designed to enhance Windows PC performance and user experience. It features TurboPC, a utility designed to enhance PC performance for up to 2X faster file transfers, as well as the Backup Utility that protects your important files and documents by backing up your PCs to your Buffalo external hard drive and it provides an easy-to-use data restore function. "Buffalo continues to offer robust yet design-conscious products that make protecting and managing digital content simple, affordable and fun," said Ralph Spagnola, vice president of sales at Buffalo Technology. “With the new MiniStation Stealth and DriveStation Axis LED, Buffalo has once again delivered powerful yet affordable storage solutions for today's growing storage needs," Mr. Spagnola added. The DriveStation Axis LED will be available in January 2011 at estimated street prices of $99.99 for the 1 TB (HD-LEM1.0TU2) and $159.99 for the 2 TB (HD-LEM2.0TU2), while the MiniStation Stealth will be available November in the US market at estimated street prices of $74.99 for the 320 GB (HD-PCT320U2/B), $89.99 for the 500 GB (HD-PCT500U2/B) and $104.99 for the 640 GB (HD-PCT640US/B).
