Imagine a hard drive that is just about as thick as your credit card. Imagine Buffalo MiniStation Shinobi! We are left in no doubt about its claims of being “the world’s thinnest external hard drive,” especially after learning that it is just 5mm thick. It comes loaded with features like easy-to-use backup & sync software, mobile applications such as Firefox and Thunderbird for email and web browsing, and Buffalo’s SecureLockMobile software for the prevention of unauthorized access. With a stylish black skin, it does look quite irresistible.
Pricing & Availability: The Buffalo MiniStation Shinobi is available in two options - 30GB for $120 and 60GB for $170.
Watch This: We have developed an instant liking for the cute little Shinobi. Hard drives are no longer the bulky, cumbersome boxes they used to be before. Portability has indeed seen its best manifestation in the Shinobi.
Word around the Web:
Matt Buchanan from Gizmodo says:
Like the Buffalo hard drive I bought in Japan to replace one that died, Buffalo’s Shinobi Portable HD is actually Samsung inside, but in this case, the same kind used in the MacBook Air.
