Buffalo Technology DriveStation Combo 1 TB USB 2.0/FireWire 400 Desktop External Hard Drive HD-CE1.0TIU2 (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Those who are brave enough to use a screw driver should not choose this one.

We external-drive users need to be able to remove the drive if USB/FW connections/controllers fail, so we have other options to remove the drive for data retrieval (so your own data is not out there on the loose) and reuse the case. Unlike the predecessors which had aluminum cases, this unit cannot be easily opened. I have not x-rayed it or attempted to open it, but looks like this thing was assembled with plastic clips and is not designed to be reusable.

Other than that, Buffalo has generally made fine products.

Not so fast. I initially tested this drive and it sounded a bit funny. I didn't think twice about it and put it away. It does not spin up now--after sitting there for two months.

I have noticed that many of the current Buffalos use Samsung drives. I have noticed that the Samsung drives have a slightly higher than usual DOA rate.

Buffalo Technology DriveStation DataVault 1.5 TB USB 2.0 Desktop External Hard Drive HD-CXT1.5TU2 (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This drive has two issues that greatly reduce its utility. The first is that it contains a CDROM image that cannot be removed and mounts every time the drive is connected. This constitutes an annoyance and should be addressed by the manufacturer as it generates a great deal of volume on user forums. The second and more serious issue is that the drive disconnects randomly without dismounting the partitions on it. So far, this hasn't caused any data loss or corruption but the potential is there.
