Buffalo Portable Hard Drives

Has anyone had any experience with Buffalo portable hard drives? I was wondering about their reliability. In particular, I was curious about the MiniStation DDR, 1TB. Thanks for any comments.

Buffalo have a excellent record for reliability, They are slightly more expensive but it's worth the extra.

I use a Buffalo for backing up photo files. It's an older one; about 6 years old, and is reliable day after day. I even got one as a birthday gift for a good friend.

I have a one TB portable thunderbolt buffalo drive in which I've stored my travel images on since 2012. When I get home from my trips I transfer them to my main drive at home. I have left all those years of images on the buffalo drive as a back up. It has worked flawlessly but alass it's at full capacity and I'm in the market for a new version.

I've had a 4tb Drive Station on RAID 1 for about 5 years..No problems.
Hooked up to a windows 7 pro with 4TB internal drive, ..Also on Raid 1

I have a couple and they have never let me down. My oldest one is a 4tb raid 1 that is about 4 years old. my newest one is an 8tb raid 1 that I got last year.

I have been using the Western Digital (WD) brand as I then know whose drive is inside. I prefer ONLY WD or Seagate drives. If Buffalo tells you the device uses a WD drive, I would go for it. Best of luck.

Thanks to all who replied. I purchased one on sale and have no qualms now about its likely reliability.
