Just over 1lb! This is pretty exciting to me. After all, my current portable USB drive only has a capacity of 120GB and I have nearly filled it. Being a semi-road warrior, this drive just might be what I need to take EVERYTHING with me. Also, working for multiple clients, and having multiple laptops/desktops, this is a great option to either access from a network as I KVM-switch between systems, or just take it on the road.

Here is what the back looks like: power, on/off, and connections (1 RJ-45, 1 USB 2.0 / 1.1). So you can use a network or USB connection. You can go to the Buffalo website to view this product.

Also, keep in mind this unit is RAID 1 or RAID 0 so if you go with RAID 1 you will only get 500GB.
