Review Buffalo MiniStation 1TB USB 3.0

Buffalo MiniStation 1TB (PCTU3) ​​is one of the large-capacity portable hard drive (1TB), which already supports USB 3.0. For products that have sales no.1 in Japan, of course, this product has an interesting feature. Want to know what are the privileges of this product? Let's look at the reviews below:
Supplied by the product bundle is fairly standard. Contains a hard disk, manual, and also a USB 3.0 cable that will be used to connect to a computer hard drive. This product has the following specifications:


  • Port: USB 3.0 or 2.0

  • Dimensions: 77 x 114 x 17 mm

  • Weight: 220 g

  • Power Consumption / Speed​​: Max 2.5W / 4500 RPM.

  • OS: Windows 7 (32/64-bit), Windows Vista (32-64-bit), Windows XP, Mac OS 10.4 and above.


Features Buffalo MiniStation :

  • Compatible with USB 2.0, so do not worry even if you still do not have a USB 3.0 slot

  • slim and light design

  • Plug-n-Play, like a flash, hard drive can be directly plugged in and used

  • USB Powered, Despite having a large capacity is 1TB (1000 GB), this product only requires power from USB without memperlukan additional electrical connections.


An interesting view of this portable hard drive is its LED lights located on the front. LED here has two colors: green and blue. When plugged into a USB 2.0 slot, then the LED will glow green like the picture above. LED is blue when connected with USB 3.0.
When the new hard drive first open it, then we will find the following three files. The third file is the tools that will add to the privileges of this disk. Meanwhile, the hard drive is already in a state of pre-formatted, so it can be directly used. Unfortunately still in FAT32 format that we know still has shortcomings can not accommodate the file (single) in the amount of more than 4GB. Fortunately, this is overcome when we install the default program (in DriveNavi) that will format the hard drive to NTFS (does not have any restrictions as long as the hard disk is not full).

In Buffalo MiniStation portable hard drive 1TB USB 3.0 there is an innate drive that is packaged in "DriveNavi" and also "slm". "DriveNavi" contains several functions, namely:

  • TurboPC

  • TurboCopy

  • Backup Utility

  • Utility RAMDISK


Above is very useful function suppose to speed up the process of copying data to be up to 10x faster than conventional means. RAMDISK have the privilege also to speed up your PC.

As for the "slm" contains a utility for encrypting your data, so it will not be opened and misused by others. To make it, we just type the name of the storage folder to be created, insert capacity, and then the password. Your data is safe.

So what if you forget your password? Does that mean your data can not be open forever? Relax there is a "hint" (keywords / aids) that will help you to remember the password. If you are finished setting up, then you will be asked to wait for the process. Quite a long time indeed, around 4menit/4GB. So, if you create a "safe" for 20GB, then it takes you about 20 minutes until ready to use.
