About this product
This offering includes two Buffalo MiniStation Stealth portable hard drives, each with a 500 GB capacity, totaling 1TB of storage across the pair. They utilize USB 2.0 connectivity, which is suitable for general use but slower than modern USB 3.0 standards. As portable external HDDs, they are designed for easy transport and on-the-go data access or backup. The "Stealth" designation likely refers to a compact or sleek design.
Our take
If you're looking for an affordable way to add a good chunk of storage, this duo of Buffalo MiniStation Stealth drives offers 1TB combined. Having two separate 500 GB units can be handy for organizing different types of data or having a dedicated backup drive. However, the USB 2.0 interface is a clear limitation. While perfectly fine for casual file transfers or less frequent backups, it won't offer the speed of newer standards. For bulk storage on a budget where speed isn't the absolute top priority, and you appreciate the portability, these could be a decent choice.
