“Omnia mea mecum porto (All that’s mine I carry with me)” ~Marcus Tullius Cicero
Cicero the great Roman philosopher knew how important it is to have all you need ready at hand at all times. Since the introduction of portable data storage devices, it has become much easier to access all your files; however, due to the weight and size, you could hardly say those gadgets were really ‘portable’. When your bag is already full, another brick-like object is the last thing you want. With the lighter models though, the storage capacity was not always sufficient to cater for all needs.
Buffalo Technology, a global leader in the design, development and manufacturing of storage and wireless networking solutions, have now solved this problem for good, introducing the world’s thinnest storage device, the MiniStation Slim. At just 8.8mm thick, 11.5cm long and 7.9cm wide, the MiniStation Slim is the perfect solution for on-the-go portable storage.
The portable device provides users with all the great features from Buffalo’s popular MiniStation range. It offers 500GB worth of storage space and high-speed data transfers of up to 5Gbps via its USB 3.0 port. The device can also be used as a hard disk drive (HDD) recorder to record audio and video content.
The drive is also ultra-lightweight at just 140 grams, making it a great match for all current and future notebooks. It comes in a premium aluminium case and is available in red, black or silver.just 140 grams, making it a great match for all current and future notebooks.
