MiniStation™ Extreme - The perfect solution for those who often travel with PCs and portable HDDs

BUFFALO’s MiniStation™ Extreme offers high performance USB3.0 portable storage in a compact and sophisticated design. The internal hard drive is encased in a highly shock-resistant body with rubberised elements to protect it from accidental bumps.

The ingenious arrangement of shock protection features meets the U.S. Military Standard MIL-STD-810G, METHOD 516.6, Procedure IV and has passed free-fall drop tests with drops up to 2.3 meters.

Moreover, the USB cable is integrated with the case so you will not be frustrated searching for a cable anymore!

The USB 3.0 interface moves data at rates of up to 5Gbps. This vastly reduces the time needed for data transmission, making it ideal for transferring and sharing videos, large digital photo collections, music files, and other data-intensive digital content. MiniStation Extreme is available with 1TB or 2TB capacities. Both capacities are available in black; 1TB capacity is also available in red or silver.

Highly Shock-Resistant
Buffalo™ gave the HD-PZFU3 a sleek design with an attractive matte finish and Buffalo’s patented shock-proof chassis: U.S. military-grade shock protection helps protect the hard drive from damage, passing 2.3-meter free-fall drop test.

Water and Dust-Resistant
