Buffalo has announced a pair of bus-powered USB hard drives, the 30GB and 60GB MiniStation Shinobi, which it plans to release next month. The 1.8-inch SATA drives are housed in a thin USB enclosure with integrated USB cable - at only one-fifth of an inch thick, Buffalo claims the housing to be the thinnest drive package of its type available. The drives come pre-loaded with sync software and a suite of Mozilla applications, and support a TurboUSB mode claiming increased throughput. At planned prices of $120 and $170, the drives will have to compete with solid-state USB flash drives - 32GB flash drives are both cheaper and more compact than the 30GB Shinobi.
