London, UK, 2 July 2008 – Buffalo Technology has extended its range of portable storage products to include the business focused MiniStation Pro. Available in 160GB (HDS-PH160U2) and 320GB (HDS-PH320U2) capacities, the MiniStation Pro offers business users secure data storage in a 2.5 inch portable hard drive with full automatic hardware encryption.

The increased security teamed with the portability of the drive will allow users to confidently travel with large amounts of sensitive company data. Files are secured on the MiniStation Pro with AES 128bit encryption, requiring an individual password to gain access. No software installation is necessary allowing simple “plug-n-play” use.

Other key features and benefits of the MiniStation Pro include:

  • Lightweight, compact and portable for hassle-free transportation.
  • Buffalo’s proprietary TurboUSB technology for super-speedy file transfer.
  • Wrap-around cable for neat and easy storage.
  • Tough armoured outer case and shock-absorbent internal design.
  • Powered by USB 2.0/1.1 so no need for external power supply.
  • Firefox and Thunderbird software preloaded.
  • Memeo Backup Software included for improved backup options, including regular system backup, scheduled backup and password protection.
  • Automatic setup without the need for drivers.

Kevin Vine, EMEA Sales and Marketing Director at Buffalo Technology, comments: “The need to securely transport large amounts of confidential company data is continuing to rise, with businesses now requiring more capacity than a USB flash drive can offer. Following the successful launch of the enhanced MiniStation range last year, the Pro addresses this need and offers an even more secure option for portable storage.”

Backed by a limited two-year warranty, the MiniStation Pro is available now from Misco, Insight and DSGi at an estimated street price of £65.10 (160GB) and £116 (320GB), excluding VAT.
