Happy . Just got this in the mail.
I wanted an external drive to meet the following requirements
- Backup both a mac and pc
- no backup software that i had to use
- usb 3.0 cause my desktop pc has a usb 3.0 motherboard to take advantage of this
Nice to have
- look good
- small in size
At first I was a little worried cause I thought that it was only going to end up working with only one or the other (mac or pc). Looked on the internet but didn't find any help, but no matter I just went with what I thought would work. In Windows I went to disk management and shrunk the drive in half, then formatted it in exFAT. Then I plugged it into my mac (with os x lion) and immediately it asked it I wanted to use one ) or both of the partitions for Time Machine. I said yes to one of the partitions and it started running a backup right away.
So very happy it worked just as I wanted

Buffalo Technology MiniStation Plus 1 TB USB 3.0 Portable External Hard Drive with Shock Protection HD-PNT1.0U3R (Red) Reviews
Expensive but feels very solid . After my WD passport died I was looking for an external drive that was more solid as the USB connection the WD was very flimsy and kept falling off. The drive feels very solid, the USB connection fits tightly and it was recognized by my Asus router. The external drive has been connected to my Asus router for the last two weeks and it hasn't slowed down one bit. The HD is a bit expensive compare to other 1TB drives but I think its worth it after feeling how solid it is.

Buffalo Technology MiniStation Plus 1 TB USB 3.0 Portable External Hard Drive with Shock Protection HD-PNT1.0U3R (Red) Opinions
Made it to Iraq . After having it shipped to my house, I loaded it up with movies and sent it to Iraq. I was worried about the handling of the package, but it made it and works just fine. Once I downloaded DVD ripping software, it was easy to put te movies on the drive. The speed was limited (significantly) by the DVD drive on my computer, not by the drive.

Excelent! . This external hard disk is excelent! Fast, beautiful, compact, lightweight and security. Have a blue LED lets you know when the drive is active.
Great Drives . Awesome Little Drives! Software included has Backup capability, I bought several of these, and one was used as a backup and that computer failed several days later. The great part of the backed up data was that I plugged it into my laptop, assumed ownership rights, and i was able to directory browse the backed up data and pull the individual files i needed!!
No nonsense - the drive just works. . I purchased this drive several weeks ago and have used it extensively for backing up my PC. The drive has been very solid - non problems. The higher-speed USB3 interface is definitely a help to get it done quickly.
Great Item. Worth Every Cent! . I purchased this to use as an external hard drive to back up all of my computers. It is extremely easy to use. There is more than enough space for backing up several computers. The importance of backing up a computer was realized by me when my computer crashed and I lost all my photos and data. Never again. Now once a week, I safely place all my computer contents on this drive. It is also very compact in size. I highly recommend this product. It took about 30 minutes to back up my entire computer.
