Advantages: Big, Fast and Well designed

Disadvantages: Gets very warm

A few weeks ago I purchased the Buffalo Drivestation 1TB External Harddrive as I was running out of space on my other drives, and when I say running out, I mean they were completely stuffed with my undeletable content. I'm one of those people who will never throw things out, nor will I delete things from my PC. This hard drive is designed for people like that.

The hard drive is in a solid black plastic case and it looks pretty good and is definatly very sturdy. In fact much much more sturdy than an iomega drive I once had made of metal. It has a nice design and looks good enough to earn a place on the desk, and it might be an idea to keep it away from a flamable surface as it does get very very hot if left on. The fan is also quite loud when in a quiet room but nothing too extreme.

Speed wise it's as fast as you'd expect and it shouldnt take very long to transfer you files or to backup from a smaller harddrive. I think it took around 40 minutes to transfer a few hundred gigbytes which is good performance. It's also large enough to hold everything you would want it too atleast for a few months anyway and like I said earlier it is perfect for those who don't want to delete anything off there computers.

I got it for around £80 in argos and it came with a free 2GB USB drive which is very useful. I do highly reccomend it for anyone requiring that much space.
