Buffalo DriveStation Axis LED & MiniStation Stealth Launched
Earlier today, Buffalo officially announced the upcoming availability of two brand new storage devices. The DriveStation Axis LED and MiniStation Stealth bring more storage options to the Buffalo-manufactured line-up, offering plenty of space in an affordable package. If you're looking for a small black box to sit on your desk, then the MiniStation Stealth is probably a safe bet, considering its small profile. But, if you're looking for some bright lights to blink on and off, making sure you stay awake, then the DriveStation Axis LED may be your next purchase for the holiday season.
The Buffalo DriveStation Axis LED features a small range of LED lights on the front of the storage device. Based on the lights, you'll be able to tell how well you're doing on the space front, and find out with just a glance if you'll be able to download the full Beatles discography. Luckily enough, the DriveStation starts at 1TB of space, for only $99. If you're looking at 2TB, though, that will cost you $159. The DriveStation is unveiled, but it won't be made available until January of 2011.
And then there's the small MiniStation Stealth. A little black box, designed specifically just to sit on your desk and store your digital belongings, without drawing too much attention to itself. You'll find just a single USB cable that acts as the power cable, as well as for data transfers. Price starts at $74.99 for 320GB, and ratchet up to $104 for 640GB. The MiniStation Stealth should be available any day now. Check out the full press release below for more information.
