Buffalo launch new external drive range, Ministation Cobalt

January 8th, 2009

We’re not sure what the Cobalt moniker implies, but name aside, the new Ministation Cobalt external HDD range from Buffalo sure do look cool. The units are available in three snazzy colours, Blue Onyx, Ruby Red and Pearl White. Their capacities range from 160 GB, through 250 GB and 320 GB up to 500 GB. Other details include

* play nicely with Macs and PCs
* Plug n Play
* 5.0 x 3.4 x 0.6 inches
* spin speed 5400 RPM
* USB 2.0 connectivity
* 0.4 lbs

Pricing starts at US$80 for the 160 GB unit, goes through US$90 and US$120 for the 250 and 320 GB units and ends with US$170 for the 500 GB big boy. Whilst they may not be the cheapest units out there, if you have blue onyx eyes then a Ministation Cobalt unit may just be the external drive you’ve always wanted.
