Buffalo Advantage - Buffalo Tools
Buffalo Tools is a feature-rich suite of optional software included on many Buffalo DriveStation and
MiniStation storage products. Any or all of the following components of Buffalo Tools may be installed
on Windows® PCs. Buffalo Tools will be available for free download with supported products in March.
TurboPC: Designed for your Windows computer, TurboPC includes two components to enhance file
transfer performance with external hard drives. Utilizing the high speed RAM of your PC, TurboPC can
increase file transfers by up to
2x over standard external hard drive connections, including USB 2.0
and USB 3.0. TurboPC also includes TurboCopy which provides additional system adjustments to increase
performance substantially.
Buffalo's Backup Utility: Easy-to-use and fully featured, Buffalo's Backup software for Windows PCs is simple
to set up yet highly configurable for custom settings. Buffalo Backup protects your important files and
documents by backing up to your Buffalo external hard drive. Buffalo Backup can be used to back up one
or multiple computers with a single Buffalo external hard drive, and it includes a comprehensive restore
function which makes restoring from backups extremely easy.
ECO Manager: ECO Manager is an environmentally friendly energy efficiency tool designed to conserve energy by
regulating the power usage of your Buffalo external hard drive at predetermined times. It can be configured
to put a hard drive to sleep after a specified period of drive inactivity, increasing the hard drive's life
while reducing energy usage, including laptop battery consumption.
RAMDISK: RAMDISK is a simple utility that allows you to create
a RAM disk on your Windows PC. The RAM in a PC is considerably faster than its hard drive, and by
using spare PC RAM to create a RAM disk, you can give your computer a small but extremely fast environment
to work on files in. When you have finished working on files from the RAM disk, simply save them to your
PC's hard drive or an external hard drive for long-term retention. RAMDISK can be configured to automatically
save the contents of the RAM disk to a hard drive during a Windows shutdown.

SecureLock: SecureLock software provides complete control of the data encryption on your Buffalo
external hard drive. SecureLock is used to set passwords and prompt users for access to encrypted data
on DriveStation and MiniStation hardware based encryption models. On Buffalo hard drive models without
hardware based encryption, SecureLock can be used to create a software encrypted environment for your data,
protecting it from unauthorized access. SecureLock is your one-stop solution for data protection.
