Buffalo Might Be Back in the Cheap Router Business With Patent Victory
10:20AM Matt Buchanan | As the happy owner of a cheapass Buffalo WHR-G125 router running DD-WRT, the ridiculous BS patent lawsuit that got Buffalo being banned from selling routers in the US was deeply aggravating.

One day, anyway. [Buffalo via Slashdot - Thanks Chubbs!] More »

10:19AM Matt Buchanan | Like the Buffalo hard drive I bought in Japan to replace one that died, Buffalo’s generically named Portable HD is actually Samsung inside, but in this case, the same kind used in the MacBook Air, so it’s incredibly slim and totally pocketable, about the size of a biz card holder. The convenience makes for a low dollars to bytes ratio, though, at $US120 for 30GB and $US170 for 60GB. Still, I love the design. More »

Buffalo’s New NAS RAID-5 Box is iPhone Compatible Too
6:27PM Kit Eaton | Buffalo has come up with a new network accessible storage system which not only hangs onto up to 4TB of your files but is also Time Machine and iPhone compatible. OK, so this last bit is over a dedicated web access system and the phone can’t save the files, but it can view the contents of music, photo and video files. The LS-QL/R5’s 13 x 18 x 22cm box can fit in up to four 3.5-inch drives, has a RAID-5 option, Gigabit Ethernet, a DLNA server and is due in late September for US$560 for a 1TB version, around US$710 for 2TB and US$1,300 for 4TB.
