Buffalo has released what it claims is the country's first external solid-state drive.The MicroStation line has a maximum 100GB raw storage capacity - 32GB and 64GB versions are also available - that connects using a USB 2.0 which wraps round the drive.
The drive's a compact 89 x 57 x 14mm and weighs just 60g. Buffalo claimed the drive has a top transfer rate of 35MB/s, though it didn't say whether that's a read speed or for writing - we'd say it's the former.
Although given the pricing (£115, £230 and £344 for the 32GB, 64GB and 100GB models respectively), we doubt many buyers will be too keen on putting its mettle to the test.
