London, UK, 24 October 2008 – Buffalo Technology today unveils the DriveStation 2Share which offers consumers the choice of two storage options. It can be used as an external hard drive to back up a single PC, or networked to allow access to shared files from several computers in the network. The DriveStation 2Share provides a low-cost, easy to use, energy efficient and flexible storage option for home and small office users.
The unit can be operated as a USB-attached storage device for one computer, or switched to network attached storage (NAS) mode to allow multiple users to share files within a network. Setup for both operating modes is simple, with “plug and play” use for USB connectivity and Buffalo’s DriveNavigator utility software included for NAS operation.
Power Saving Utility[1] software provided with the product allows users to set timings to put the device in a low power “sleep” mode when not in use. The unit can be powered up again either manually or by accessing the drive.
Available in two capacities, the drive is equipped with Buffalo’s TurboUSB software to facilitate increased data transfer rates via USB. It also comes with Buffalo’s exclusive Secure Lock Ware Encryption software for Windows, to provide a simple option for securing data on the drive.
Backed by a limited two year warranty, the DriveStation 2Share is available now from (insert suppliers) at an estimated street price of:
HD-CE500LU2 (500GB) £86.99 (inc. VAT)
HD-CE640GBLU2 (640GB) £93.99 (inc.VAT)
