Buffalo MiniStation Extreme NFC USB 3.0 1 TB Rugged Portable Hard Drive (HD-PZN1.0U3B)

Item was exactly what was required. Arrived quickly and in excellent condition.

Good drive

I'm happy if an external drive lasts me 5 years. I'm only in year 1 with this one. In my experience, Seagate was the worst. Adata wasn't bad.This comes in a nice box that's good to keep because the device fits snugly in the foam. The usb cable is short, but the reason for that is that it tucks into the device when you're transporting it. It is permanently attached. I think these features have durability in mind. Connections can easily get worn out.One of the security features is a card that sits on top on the device. As long as the card is on top, it is open. You can add a password, which keeps it open for about 5 minutes. The security feature setup has a lousy interface, but in the end it worked. I wish it were easier to make changes to the security settings.

Unable to use for Macbook

I honestly love this device, I've only had it for 4ish months but it's done everything I need it to.I have a blog and back up a lot of content to it, and for a spinning drive it still transfers large files, of all types really well; it far exceeded my expectations on transfer speed.It stores what I need and the durability, built in USB, and sleek look add to the product. The durability is a great aspect, it doesn't feel flimsy like my old external hard drive, which was a seagate; and I feel completely comfortable taking it to and from work and on trips when needed. The internal USB is perfect, that was a downfall of my last drive, and the fact there's two cables (one short and one long) really helps with work and travel usage.I will update the review if it crashes within two years like my previous seagate drives have.The security aspects are awesome and are a main reason why I got it. My significant other and I store personal information on this so we feel a lot more confident leaving it at home while on trips without worrying what someone can access if it gets stolen. I can see where some people complain about it erasing everything if you reset it, but knowing from the start I would use the card and password protection I feel fine and comfortable with it. I highly recommend everyone do both the card and password protection so there is a backup in case you forget your card or can't remember your password.Overall, great product and I can't wait to keep using it.
