is a senior reporter who’s been covering and reviewing the latest gadgets and tech since 2011, but has loved all things electronic since he was a kid. To help celebrate the 50 years its parent company has been in business, Japan’s Buffalo has announced a limited edition external hard drive with a window that lets you see its inner workings. Don’t whip out your credit card just yet, though; the Buffalo Skeleton Hard Disk is limited to just 50 units priced at 100,000 yen each (around $695) and is only available for purchase starting in June via a lottery. The Skeleton Hard Disk mounts a 4TB drive inside a machined aluminum housing with a small window attached to a display base weighing about 3.3 pounds.
