And it is, pretty much. I bought this product simply because I ran out of hard drive space on my current PC. I needed somewhere to store all of my music and documents and the Buffalo 250GB Hard Drive was the perfect solution.

Whilst it isn't the most attractive looking unit, it is purely practical. It also comes with a USB 2.0 Lead in the box (Which is a pleasant change from the norm!)

The alternative power supply options are a stroke of genius. You can either have the unit permanently on (Which is useful in the case of using the hard drive as Network attached storage through a PC) or "On when required" which is great for all of those who are concerned about conserving energy.

The setup disk is standard nowadays....Autorun, is the way forward. Next, Next, Next and your done. It automatically maps the drives on your system and serves files at a more than acceptable speed.

For £75 it's not bad at all...

So, in essence, every part of this buffalo was used. Including the handy little feet that they provide to make the thing stand up...
