AUSTIN, Texas, June 28, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Buffalo Technology, a global leader in the design, development and manufacturing of wired and wireless networking, storage and memory solutions today announced it has expanded its award-winning line of storage solutions to include the USB 2.0 External Portable Hard Drive with Bus Power Booster, available in capacities of 40GB (HD-PH40U2/BST) and 80GB (HD-PH80U2/BST).
Buffalo's new compact storage device is designed to give mobile PC and Macintosh users the convenience of storing vital data while traveling. Users can quickly and easily access and store files, digital images, music, etc.
"Portable storage has become popular, but the issue of unreliability due to power issues remains. It is essential that mobile users have a solution that not only offers them reliability, but also allows them to free-up limited hard drive space on their notebook," stated Morikazu Sano, vice president of product marketing and public relations. "Buffalo always endeavors to provide its customers with solutions that address their needs. With our new Portable Hard Drive, we are offering on-the-go customers the ultimate in storage mobility -- simple, light-weight, compact and affordable."
The Buffalo USB 2.0 External Portable Hard Drive with Bus Power Booster is Windows and Mac compatible and supports USB 2.0 and 1.1. The product offers a 5400 rpm High Speed Drive and includes a Bus Power Booster. This feature provides stable power delivery to the drive even on older laptops, which often lack reliable power delivery over USB, resulting in poor performance or drive failure. The hard drive comes pre-formatted for immediate use and includes Buffalo's Auto-Installation technology so there is no need for installation CDs.
Its silent operation and compact design make the USB 2.0 External Portable Hard Drive with Bus Power Booster the ideal mobile storage solution.
Backed by a limited one-year warranty and toll-free 24/7 technical support, the USB 2.0 External Portable Hard Drive with Bus Power Booster is immediately available at estimated street prices of $149 for the 40GB (HD-PH40U2/BST) and $199 for the 80GB (HD-PH80U2/BST).
