Product identity

The Buffalo MiniStation Extreme NFC is a 1TB portable hard drive with a USB 3.0 Micro-B interface and built-in NFC hardware encryption. It targets users who want rugged, bus-powered storage that can be unlocked with the supplied smart card instead of a password.

Compatibility check

Verify that your host has a USB port able to supply 5 V at up to 2.5 W and that the operating system is Windows 7 or later, Windows RT 8.1, or Mac OS X 10.8 through 10.10. The bundled Lock and Go for NFC management software is Windows-only and must be downloaded from the manufacturer's site.

Thermals noise power

The drive draws a maximum of 2.5 W from the USB bus, so it runs without an external power adapter and produces no audible fan noise. Its ruggedised chassis is rated for water and dust resistance, allowing normal operation in typical indoor and outdoor environments.
