Buffalo external HDD with "TurboUSB"
« on: January 16, 2009, 04:10 AM »
Hi all,

Has anyone had any experience with the following external HDD from Buffalo Technologies and their proprietary "TurboUSB" mode.  Reviews are fine AFAIK.

Thanks !

Hm, there's no description of this "TurboUSB" available anywhere whatsoever? No indication whether it's smart firmware, or a specific app for file copying? Sounds fishy to me. Also, encryption software isn't a selling point either, you shouldn't really use anything but TrueCrypt on Windows...

Here is what I found so far about TurboUSB :


I agree about TrueCrypt, it's close to perfection !
