The Buffalo RUF2-S 4GB unit is FAST FAST FAST. Faster by far than anything else we have or have had in the shop. Four gigs of storage will be a big draw to many with the ability to store and carry large blocks of media. Four gigs is even large enough to carry an episode of LOST. The Buffalo’s size and feel was compact and balanced. The snug snap fit cap that can be secured on the opposite end during use also is a huge plus. As we said already, this cap is not one that is going to fall off after six months of use.
Unless you are a big fan of simplicity, you will find this drive ugly. However, the Read/Write speeds are quite good compared to other 4GB drives out there. But is that extra speed worth the $230 price tag? Considering you can get a Corsair Voyager 4GB for around $100, it’s hard to even consider a purchase. Check out Overclocker Cafes full review here.
