Buffalo 4TB LinkStation 210 works as expected

By Jeffrey
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2026-08-11

Buffalo 4TB LinkStation 210, was easy to install and set up. It is working as I expected it to.

Does what I needed

By Oliver

It does what it's supposed to. Does require Buffalo's software to get started. I docked one star because I didn't realize it came set in RAID1, so there was only half the advertised storage capacity as advertised. Requiring to rest to RAID0, and starting my backups all over again. Transferring through the built in USB port is extremely slow. Much faster to use the network to backup files onto it. Been mostly using it to feed media files to a number of Nvidia Shield devices throughout the house. Fast enough to stream 4k video files.

Yes, you can access the files on the Buffalo 4TB LinkStation 210, BH #BULS210D0401, using Windows Explorer or Finder with a Mac. You will likely first need to install Buffalo's NAS Navigator so your computer can detect the LinkStation on your network.
