Comments about Buffalo 1.5TB MiniStation Stealth USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive:
Had a huge disappointment of my first purchase of Buffalo drive.
Pros:
Drive was cute and small than Iomega ego 1 TB
Cons:
Drive started clicking sound within hours of usage and failed to detect in windows later
Transfer speed was around 16 Mbps on usb 2.0. But slow when compared to Iomega which I used to get 28 - 70 mbps on usb 2.0
TurboCopy utility helps to deliver constant write speed (1 GB / min) but pain when it starts creating empty folder first and saves the file to it.
There is a drop in connection after certain period of time. (Might be due to faulty drive)

Comments about Buffalo 1.5TB MiniStation Stealth USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive:
I use this to backup and also keep files to constantly access from my laptop. USB 3.0 is super fast on this drive and at 1.5TB, you have all the storage space of a desktop drive at the ultra portable size to carry with you all the time.
I use this on my Mac and PC as well.
