Buffalo Technology MiniStation DataVault Portable HDS-PHU2
$90.00
Released April, 2009
The Pros:Shock proof case with an understated design. Built-in full drive AES 128-bit encryption for reliable data security (hardware based). Good performance compared to similarly priced hard drives from the likes of Western Digital and Iomega.
The Cons:Backup and security software is useful, but unpolished, not the most intuitive user interface. TurboUSB feature doesn't to much in most cases.
