New drive to provide pocket sized storage with Buffalo's patented SecureLockMobile software

Middle East, 19 October 2008 - Following the successful launch of its MicroStation SSD drive and upgraded MiniStation range, Buffalo Technology unveils the NanoStation [HD-PTU2] - its first 1.8-inch portable HDD for the first time in EMEA region. The device provides consumers with a lightweight, compact and stylish option for storing data on the move. The drive is the same size as three stacked credit cards and weighs in at just 56g. It fits easily into a pocket making it perfect for both business users and consumers.

What the device lacks in size, it makes up for in features and durability. The NanoStation includes easy-to-use backup and sync software; mobile applications such as Firefox and Thunderbird for on-the-go email and web browsing; as well as Buffalo's SecureLockMobile software to prevent unauthorised access in the event the drive is lost or stolen.

The drive is extremely easy to use with Plug-n-Play capabilities, and is USB powered meaning no additional power supply is needed.

Kevin Vine, EMEA Sales and Marketing Director at Buffalo Technology, comments: "When it comes to portable storage, a large proportion of purchases are based on price, ease of use, looks and of course portability. This latest addition to our storage range ticks all of these boxes for the more design-conscious user, while still offering a secure solution to safeguard sensitive data, making it ideal for both personal and business use."

The NanoStation is backed by a limited two-year warranty and is available in October from leading retailers in the Middle Eastat an estimated street price of:
