NEW DELHI

NOVEMBER 22, 2006

Buffalo Inc., a global leader in the design, development and manufacturing of
wired and wireless networking, storage, multimedia and memory solutions
announced that it is expanding its award-winning line of LinkStation Network
Attached Storage (NAS) devices with the business-targeted LinkStation Pro. The
product is available in capacities of 250GB (LS-250GL), 300GB (LS-300GL), 500GB
(LS-500GL) and 750GB (LS-750GL).

Built for business users, the LinkStation Pro offers SMBs enterprise-class
features and transfer rates reaching over 30mb/s, the fastest on the market
today.

The LinkStation Pro simplifies file storage and sharing and offers business
users a professional feature-set, which includes SATA (Serial ATA) and Active
Directory Support, which allows the device to utilize domain users and groups.
The product includes a high-speed processor for ultra-fast data transfer rates
of up to 30MB/s. current competing or similarly priced NAS devices are only
capable of reaching transfer rates of 5MB/s to 8MB/s.

“There really aren't any NAS devices in the market that perfectly meet
the growing network demands for small businesses. They either lack the necessary
features or they are too expensive and complicated for a small business, which
typically lacks the internal resources for maintaining complex network
devices,” stated Morikazu Sano, Sr. VP - Global Marketing, Buffalo Technology.

“With the LinkStation Pro, we are directly addressing our SMB customers'
needs and providing them a high performance, feature-rich NAS device that is
basically maintenance-free and highly affordable. The LinkStation Pro truly is
the perfect NAS device for any business that wants to store, share and secure
its mission-critical data. There simply isn't another NAS device like it on
the market today.”

Buffalo's LinkStation Pro is Windows and Macintosh compatible and includes
an Auto MDIX — 10/100/1000 gigabit Ethernet port. Users can attach a USB hard
drive for additional storage and two or more LinkStation Pro devices can be
added to backup each other over the network. The product offers minimal power
consumption with its ability to automatically power on or off. Administrators
can set group or user-level security. For additional data protection, the
LinkStation Pro includes Memeo AutoBackup software for Windows. It includes a
Heat Sink chassis for cooling, which ideal for stacking and space is saving.

Buffalo products are distributed in India by Advent Infotech. Backed by a
two-year warranty and toll-free 24/7 technical support, the LinkStation Pro is
available at an MSRP of: Rs 16,000 for 250GB (LS-250GL), Rs 20,400 for 300GB
(LS-300GL), Rs 29,072 for 500GB (LS-500GL) and Rs 50,878 for 750GB (LS-750GL).
