Buffalo is back with a new SATA SSD range with the SHD-NSUM. You can choose between the storage capacities ranging from 30GB to 32GB, 60GB, 64GB, 120GB and 128GB. It’s equipped with a mini USB port so you can use it as an external hard drive for easy data transfer or to clone a machine before the new SSD drive is installed. Buffalo said an increase in speed by 30% to start, then hope that the performance in real life will reflect the same thing. Apart from that, prices are not known, nor their reading/writing speed respectively.

Named Felicita, this USB flash drive is available in versions of 2, 4 and 8GB and is expected to release soon on the Japanese market. We can note that it will be available in 2 colors: black or white. Original, anyway …

The Buffalo LinkTheater is one of those DivX Box doped with EPO (erythropoietin). With its NAS (DLNA) “function”, you can, among other, share your videos, your music files and photos in your network.
But this new series, our Buffalo LT-H91LAN also permits you to connect your LinkTheater to Internet and access to VOD service of NHK TV or Tsutaya (Tsutaya is the Japanese version of Blockbuster US).

Finally, the LinkTheater is compatible with MPEG-1/2, WM9, H.264/MPEG-4 AVC, XviD.

Buffalo has released the new RUF2-KL USB flash drive which has 16GB of storage space and a thickness of only 8mm. Pity that the choice of colors is quite limited: black or white, because something so small would certainly have made a super-tech fashion accessory. This USB flash drive weighs 10g and has a price around $70.

Believe it or not, there still exist companies in this world which believe that through these difficult times, people have money to throw out the window? Buffalo’s latest LinkStation Mini NAS with a price of $1,150 (106 000 Yen) is the perfect example!
For such a price, the Japanese manufacturer has decided to replace the two SATA hard drives of 2.5-inch by 2 SSD drives of 120 GB, which produces, depending on your RAID configuration, up to 240GB of storage space.

And you will certainly say that this is a lot of money for so little storage space, and you’re quite right! But while your classic NAS has a noise level of 19dB, our new SSD MiniStation is simply silent with only 2.3db …
Is this enough to justify such a price?

Here is another NAS from Buffalo. But this new TS-XL/R5 is not a NAS like the others, it was designed to provide better performance than previous generations.

With a more powerful processor, Buffalo announced a transfer speed of 3 times higher than its little brother, the TS-HTGL/R5; A speed independent of the number of PCs connected to the NAS.

Available in 2 or 4TB, this TS-XL/R5 can also “Backup” your NAS in real time, and is compatible with Time Machine for Mac OS 10.5, and supports RAID 0,1,5 and 10.
Finally, you can configure the starting up and stop of the NAS at regular intervals and it has the WAKE-ON-LAN function.

If you have a large office or if you live in a mansion and you want to cover all this in Wi-Fi, the Access Points will be your best friends! Buffalo proposes 2 new wireless access points with the WAPM-APG300N and WAPM-AG300N (4 or 2 antennas).

With these 2 access points, you will reach a theoretical speed of 300Mbps. Also note that our wireless access points are compatible with W56 (5.6GHz) for an outdoor use.

In making this time more Mac-friendly. In fact, this new version of the MiniStation TurboUSB offers a slightly revised design to paste a little more with the lines defined by Apple. Apart from it, it is available in 160, 250, 320 and 500GB, and is compatible with Time Machine. Prices range from £54.99 to £109.99.

The manufacturer recently unveiled a new external hard drive, the NanoStation, a storage capacity certainly reduced (60GB), but is catching up by its weight: 56 grams, and dimensions equal to 3 blue cards stacked … It is worth noting that they are preloaded with softwares SecureLockMobile, Firefox and Thunderbird. Available in November for $110.
