Buffalo 2TB LinkStation Pro Duo Shared Network Storage
The 2TB 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.
- 2TB Capacity
- 2TB of capacity allows for storage of approximately 150 hours of uncompressed DV digital video, the equivalent of 425 4.7GB DVD video discs, or up to 500,000 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 2TB LinkStation Pro Duo Shared Network Storage:
This 2TB NAS by Buffalo is probably the best you can buy in terms of quality, functionality, and price. [...]When I unpacked, plugged everything in, and turned on, everything worked flawlessly. The discovery process on my home network was easy and painless. The management interface is well thought out, and you have a choice of RAID 0 or 1 to choose from. Even the Web Access was easy and painless to set up.Buffalo NAS product is far superior to another NAS product from Seagate that did not work after numerous repeated attempts. After 5 days and many wasted hours later, I returned the Seagate NAS to [...].If you are looking for a NAS that is easy to set up with all the bells and whistles functionality, then you can't go wrong with this Buffalo product. Especially at this B&H price.

Comments about Buffalo 2TB LinkStation Pro Duo Shared Network Storage:
I purchased this drive for use as a network storage device and for a media server. After I received it I was not very happy with the media server performance and I contacted the Manufacturer. They informed me that the LinkStation Pro Duo is a discontinued product. I am returning this drive for the newer Linkstation Duo. Get the Linkstation Duo instead of this one.
