Company News

New Delhi, January 9

In keeping with its commitment of providing best-of-breed storage solutions, Buffalo Inc., Japan, a global leader in the design, development and manufacture of wired and wireless networking, storage, multimedia and memory solutions, announces the launch and availability of DriveStation Quattro eSATA＆USB2.0 External HDD with RAID5, as the most innovative Hard Disk Drive in its class for the PC and server community. As a higher-end model of DriveStation Duo – HD-WIU2 Series, the Drive Station Quattro, will be placed at the top of the range of Buffalo’s external HDD (DriveStation).

Powered by four inbuilt drives and RAID 5, the DriveStation Quattro delivers unparalled speed (up to three times that of a conventional USB HDD) and superior reliability making it the drive of choice for server backups and storage expansion for SMEs and for reliable storage of multimedia files such as films and high-resolution photos for the home user.

“Home and office users are becoming increasingly sensitive to the need for secure and reliable storage for mission-critical data and precious digital content such as music, videos, photos etc.,” opines Atsuo Shibata, Head Indian Operations, Buffalo Inc. “The DriveStation Quattro is all set to take this market by storm with its high performance, higher capacities capable of storing larger data and video files and high redundancy and reliability due to inbuilt RAID 5,” he said.

The DriveStation Quattro eSATA＆USB2.0 External HDD offers high-speed data transfer at 100MB/s and allows the user to select the RAID mode of choice from RAID 0/1/5/JBOD/Standard. While the RAID 5 and RAID 1 option enables data protection even at the event of a hard disk failure, the drive offers full storage capacity at JBOD (Spanning mode), and high data transfer speeds at RAID 0 and Hardware RAID options. Its superior design and larger fan with an inbuilt fan controller allows it to deliver better air-flow, ensuring effective system cooling even during extended system usage resulting in stable performance, extended life expectancy of the hard disk drive and near silent operation. The HDDs and cooling fans of the DriveStation Quattro can be easily accessed for effortless exchange in the unlikely event of drive or fan failure.

“The growing concern for data security has spurred us to provide superior security features in our latest product offering. The DriveStation Quattro allows only authorized system administrators to change RAID settings and passwords preventing unauthorized access of RAID settings and also features security slots in the front and rear panel to prevent robbery,” explained Mr.Atsuo Shibata,” Furthermore, in the event of disk failure, fan breakage or disk overheating, the user is notified by an alarm for immediate attention and redressal of the problem,” he concluded.
