Claim Your Trial Tech Box With This Exclusive Offer We've partnered with the world's #1 tech subscription box, Gadget Discovery Club, to offer you an exclusive trial gadget box. One end has the USB 3.0 port (left) and the Thunderbolt port (right). Speaking of power, the MiniStation Thunderbolt is bus powered, so there’s no AC adapter included or required. The black bar on the right side conceals a white light that indicates when the disk is powered or accessed. The two black C shapes on the bottom are rubber feet. You can get a better idea of how it looks from the image on the box (see the lead photo). Because of glare and because everything is so similar in color, you can’t see the white Buffalo name screened on the side of the disk in the above picture.
This shiny aluminum and bright white disk enclosure is one of the hardest things I’ve had to try to photograph. The exterior of the disk is very sleek, with no buttons or lights visible on the top or sides. Specifications also indicate that the MiniStation Thunderbolt is compatible with Apple’s Time Machine for computer backups. An instruction sheet walks you through formatting it for use with a Windows computer.

Out of the box, the disk is formatted for use with Mac OS X machines. It measures 3″ X 5″ X 0.65″ and weighs 8.6 ounces on my digital kitchen scale.Īccording to the Buffalo Tech site, the MiniStation Thunderbolt is compatible with computers running: Mac OS® X 10.5 – 10.7, Windows® 7 (32/64-bit), Windows Vista® (32/64-bit), Windows® XP, Windows Server® 2003 (32-bit), Windows Server® 2003 R2 (32-bit), Windows Server® 2008 (32/64-bit), Windows Server® 2008 R2 (64-bit).

The picture (above) shows the 20″ Thunderbolt cable (left) and the 19.5″ USB 3.0 cable (right), along with a couple of booklets that come with the MiniStation. The MiniStation Thunderbolt disk has both a Thunderbolt and a USB 3.0 interface, and it comes with a cable for each.
