Buffalo Technology DriveStation Axis 1TB Review

The DriveStation Axis 1TB Buffalo Technology is a family of desktop external hard drives offering high performance and easy to use storage. Easily connects to your computer for storage or backup files of data, video, music and additional photos. Buffalo has a rich set of tools software features designed to enhance PC performance.

The hard drive stores and Buffalo not only save your data easily, but also includes several files, including large multimedia files too large to fit on a USB key. Simply connect the drive to your computer and installs automatically with Windows 2000, XP or OS-X computers. The chassis cooling fan allows the DriveStation run cool and quiet.

The storage device can be placed vertically or horizontally on the desktop. No fan, but there is clearly a gap for each space, if you need to keep the disc in a well ventilated area.

When you are logged on USB3, the Buffalo DriveStation crossed our file transfer tests, writing large files to 105 MB / s and read at just under 152MB / s, making it one of the fastest external hard drives we've seen. It was no table in mind when he was small files, but it was still faster than the average speeds of 31 MB / s write speeds and small file read 42.2MB / s.
