Buffalo 1TB LinkStation Pro Duo Shared Network Storage
The 1TB LinkStation Pro Duo Shared Network Storage from Buffalo is a high-capacity drive with an interface that allows it to be connected via Gigabit Ethernet and a rotation speed of 7200rpm.
In addition to providing simple network storage, the drive can serve as a network server for a USB 2.0 storage device. You can even use the included backup software to schedule data backups to the attached USB 2.0 storage device.
The drive is easily integrated into your network, making it easy to share files among users. You can even integrate it into your wireless network by plugging it into your wireless access point or router. The included Memeo AutoBackup software lets you back up data from your network. These features make the drive an excellent solution for media streaming, data backup, or general storage in small networks.
- 1TB Capacity
- 1TB of capacity allows for storage of approximately 75 hours of uncompressed DV digital video, the equivalent of 212 4.7GB DVD video discs, or up to 250,000 MP3 files.
- RAID Configuration
- The drive can be configured as a RAID 0 or RAID 1 device. RAID 0 delivers the full storage capacity of the drive. RAID 1 writes the same data to both physical disks inside the enclosure, halving the available space for storage. This ensures that you have a realtime backup in case one of the physical disks fails.
- Gigabit Ethernet Interface
- The standard Gigabit Ethernet interface allows users to access data and administrators to remotely administer the drive through a standard LAN connection, making it easy to add to your existing network infrastructure. The drive can be connected to a wireless network by connecting it to a wireless access point, router, or bridge.
- Share Data
- The Gigabit Ethernet interface allows you to easily integrate the drive into your network and share data without the need of purchasing an expensive server.
- Compact Size
- The drive's compact 3.9 x 6.4 x 8.7" footprint makes it ideal for users with limited desk space.

Comments about Buffalo 1TB LinkStation Pro Duo Shared Network Storage:
Set up went as expected, it has a lot of capabilities and it takes a little while to go thru them all but that's what I wanted. Works very well, it has the capability to attach additional shared storage via the two USB connectors in the back, a nice plus. The only negative was that nowhere did the users guide mention how to open the device to replace a drive if needed. A quick call to Buffalo, and the answer was simple. Not sure why they left out that one small but important piece? It was minor and didn't change my over all opinion, I would purchase again.

Comments about Buffalo 1TB LinkStation Pro Duo Shared Network Storage:
Easy to setup, only problem I have is using the Web Interface. The technical support crew at Buffalo will only asssist with the setup of the NAS (which I did not need)and will not tell you what routers are known to be compatible.
