Buffalo LinkStation Duo NAS Devices
January 10, 2010 | Computer, Network | 1 CommentBuffalo has been in business to make NAS devices have long now and it has produced excellent examples – an original TeraStation served as repository of digital storage “for several years. This model is especially acute as an upgrade to the LinkStation Pro Duo and despite the abandonment “Pro” from its name should show the device quality.
For a device that is never likely to be a centerpiece of your Home Computing Duo LinkStation seems quite attractive. Its compact dimensions of 86mm x 204mm x 127mm should help hide off the track if you wish. Over the Duo is not intrusive strong unlike some NAS devices, I had the (dis) pleasure of testing.
As the name reveals, the LinkStation Duo is a two Bay NAS device available in two configurations of 1TB, 2TB or 4TB equipped with two 500GB drives, two drives 1TB or 2TB two disks respectively. These can be configured in either RAID 1 or RAID 0, or with each player showing separately the first of what is obviously safer. Both drives are accessible by popping off the front, revealing two bays quick exit. As such, it is the work of a moment to pop an old drive and place it in another. There is no facility to upgrade the storage capacity of the duo in place, but this is hardly a major criticism, just be sure to choose the players right initially. [via trustedreviews]
