Buffalo DriveStation HD-CX
$330.00
Released August, 2009
The Pros:Good transfer speeds, comes close to the maximum for the port. Can edit large files on the drive without experiencing any lag in the application. Auto shut-off when disconnected, saves energy.
The Cons:Requires its own power supply. All documentation for this device is sparse and uninformative. If "Memeo" doesn't automatically load on setup, won't be usable - need to manually find it online and download it.
