The LinkStation Duo from Buffalo contains two SATA hard drives with a total of 1TB storage. Using RAID modes, you can configure the LinkStation Duo for maximum storage, using each drive as an individual storage space. You can also configure the device for maximum reliability and redundancy, where everything you store is copied to both hard drives, ensuring that your data remains intact in the event of a hard disc failure.
The LinkStation Duo connects to your network via USB or Ethernet, and functions as a BitTorrent client or iTunes Server, and supports Time Machine back up. The drives are easy to replace as your storage needs increase.
