The Buffalo MiniStation Extreme NFC is quite extreme

2015-05-22
hi guys CC and this is the buffalo mini station extreme and FC purple drive now this one's quite large about twice the size of this typical drive from Seagate right here but before you go all heading on it well it is large for a reason first it comes with layer protection it has a rug the chasis and multiple bubbles on inside that redirect the shock away from the internal drive on the inside and that means this drive here can survive a drop from some 1.2 meter high or for food is also dust and water resistant and that's more it come with this built-in USB cable very conveniently for you to use without having to carry a separate one around now if that does not impress you yet well there is this label right here is to indicate that you can use an NFC or near field communication device to open the drive but why opening well the drive feature to 256 ae has formed this encryption to protect the data on inside from unauthorized access now in case you lose it by default the drive works in the open mode but you can easy chain to the secure mode using this mode changes software now note that changing from one mode to another will require reformatting so you want to do this before putting any data on the drive now in the secure mode you can pick a password it can also register an NFC device as the key at the dryer included smart card right here to use with it but it can also use a mobile device such as a smartphone and speaking of smartphone you might wonder if the iPhone 6 will work with it well let's try no it doesn't and that's because with the iPhone 6 and 6 plus the NFC function is you strictly only for Apple pay for now but an Android phone however will work so there you go the buffer here is large for good reasons now comes the performance well in my testing was quite fast with a sustained real-world copy speed of more than 110 megabyte per second for writing and close to her a 20 megabyte per second reading via SP through playing out the drive also works with a speed Topanga note though in my testing the mode changes software didn't work with all of the older windows computer so maybe you stick with just the newer USB 3.0 enable computers only okay the price the buffalo here is available in two capacity one terabyte and two terabyte that cost hundred thirty dollars and two hundred dollars respectively now that expensive compared with other poor bowdry of the same capacity but the drive here does come with feature that others don't if I'm or the drive here check out my full review as cnet.com basically if you intend to carry along information that you don't want others to see well this one is the drive for you and that's mean it's not for me and not because I have nothing to hide but because I just don't care for example the video you're watching right now feel free to show it to as many people as you want I will not take it personal and that's because I'm dumb going this has been the first look at the buffalo mini station extreme and ab c-- turbo drive
