Title
Disassembling Buffalo MiniStation External Hard Drive (Thunderbolt & USB 3)
Introduction
This is a great little external drive, but I have been having difficulty in getting a connection through the USB cable. I thought it might be the cable but wanted to take a look inside, and being a curious too I guess; wanted to see what was under the hood in this thing.
I have to say, this was an easy job to begin with (they all are right), taking the Buffalo MiniStation apart is not that difficult a task but getting it back together was a lessons learned, hopefully this guide will prevent you from making a similar mistake.
