Knife Block for Knife Sadists or Circus Fans
There are knife connoisseurs and there are people who love the circus. Back in the early days of the circus, there were the knife throwers who thrilled audiences with their skills of accuracy and daring.

Buffalo MiniStation now offers 320GB of external storage

It’s a 5400 RPM drive, so your files will transfer much faster than ones spinning up at 4200 RPM. The best feature has got to be the fact that it only requires the use of a single USB cable for both power and file transfers. There’s nothing worse than plugging a portable drive into the wall.
