"The consumption of digital content is rapidly moving beyond traditional channels along with how that data is stored and accessed," said Ralph Spagnola, vice president of sales at Buffalo Technology. "Buffalo's CloudStor delivers on the promise of data mobility and allows your content to be shared freely with anyone, anywhere."

CloudStor is secure because no content resides in the cloud; users own and store their files and decide what to share. Whether at home, the office or on the road, the CloudStor user experience remains the same. It looks and operates just like a hard drive inside your computer, accessible via a drive letter on PCs and as a device through Finder on Mac® computers. And with Pogoplug apps for mobile devices and easy Facebook and Twitter integration, you'll always be seconds away from your content.
