Buffalo systems are very reliable, very basic interface, easy to configure. Compatible with Windows and Linux for file copies and backup operations. Review: Great home NAS drive - I have a small photography business as well as a techno geek. I also have a PC, but assume they will work just as well with Mac. I Believe in having at least 3 backups for my photos and other critical data so besides the cloud, I wanted to have a local copy. I started with one 4Tb drive and now have 5. All of them are Buffalo Link Stations. (Please note if I would have know how much storage I need I may have gone a different route). I have 2-4Tb drives and 2-6Tb drives. Installation was easy. I connected them to my network switch, turned them on and after a few minutes to boot, they were on line and discoverable. Besides my desk top PC, I also have 2-Surface Tables that can access the drives. The software that comes with the drives helps with any configuration you want to do, Including if you want to backup to another drive, though I found this to be a little clunky and the backup program I use does a better job. Also, you may want to go in the config and turn off the trash can storage, as this could be a pain if you delete a lot of data as it does take up space. I found that I would run out of space when I did automatic backup and cleaning. All in all a very good drive for a small home business or just to store critical data ## Features - Value NAS with RAID for centralized storage and backup for all your devices.

Kind of Similar to DC Mike's setup; I have a an old AMD PC that hosts my plex server (Athlon x2 4400+, 8gb DDR2, and Radeon HD 6870 *can't remember if video card helps with plex decoding at all, but it's there anyway and has no other use to me) I do have a couple TB worth of media on HDDs in that box but the majority of my data is on similar NAS devices like this buffalo Linkstation. Literally any USB external or NAS drive can host media for a Plex server with extremely little chance of limited performance. The limiting factor in Plex performance comes with the capability of the computer hosting the server to decode and encode media to play on the device you're trying to stream to (for instance, accessing your plex server from another pc takes much fewer resources than on your ipad would require because the server pc has to reencode the media to a format that iOS can utilize) and, in the case of remote streaming, your internet connection. The 10+ year old pc I described can stream multiple 1080p video remotely with no visible lag and I've tried as much as 7 local network 1080p streams and had not issue there.tl;dr - This can host all of your music, video, pictures for a plex server to access but not run the plex server itself. **Q: 3 questions: does it by default appear in windows 10 pro file manager? can the contents be encrypted? can i directly copy to the drive via usb?** A: 1 does it by default appear in windows 10 pro file manager? Not always. I have one that does and one that doesn't. You can set it up as a network drive. 2 The contents are not encrypted. This has to be done before storing them to the drive. # No, the drive can't be accessed by USB. The USB port is to add an additional drive to it. **Q: does this support time machine?** A: I'm having MAJOR problems with it. It's unreliable. It shows it's backup one day. I check a week later only to find it hasn't done a single back up since. Time Machine progress bar shows it being stuck. **Q: Can this be used as an iTunes home sharing server? (e.g. Stream to an apple TV. )** A: Yes ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ SImple NAS, great reliability *by T***H on June 5, 2026* Great NAS for making yourself a cloud storage location that only you control.

First of all, it was painfully slow. I tried an initial full backup from my Windows 10 PC, using Perfect Backup. My PC has a wired Ethernet connection. The size of the data was less than 25 GB. It took five hours to complete. I tried a simple transfer of a 90 MB file. That took several minutes, as it crept along at 350 kB/s most of the time. It's like they stuck an inferior drive in the case and shipped it. The software is a joke. NAS Navigator2 starts out with a reasonable-looking application window, but if you select Settings for your drive you get thrown into the browser interface, where every operation you try, even the simplest ones, results in a 'wait' cursor for several seconds. If you add a new folder on the drive, in order to set permissions on it you must start at the beginning and reconfirm the permissions on all the other folders until you get to the new one. There is no way--unless it's well hidden--to just select a folder and operate on it. I downloaded the latest version but it behaves just the same. The WebAccess app is as bad. If you want to open the drive to see your folders, be prepared to watch it go round and round for at least five seconds, while it displays the message "Processing..." How cute. You'll go through this again if you then open a folder. As for the bundled NovaBACKUP software license, the version that you get with that is ten years old, and you must pay NovaStor's subscription rate for an update. A ten-year-old application would be okay if it worked, but I found it completely useless. It could not see the drive on the network to set it as destination. In fact the only option in the pull-down for device type was "xSP Account", meaning NovaStor's cloud. This may be related to Windows 10's absolute refusal to show any network devices under "Network", but there is no workaround to discover a device using its UNC path, which is how I got Perfect Backup to work. I'm returning this and looking for something that will perform decently. ## Frequently Bought Together - BUFFALO LinkStation 210 2TB 1-Bay NAS Network Attached Storage with HDD Hard Drives Included NAS Storage That Works as Home Cloud or Network Storage Device for Home - Cat 8 Ethernet Cable, 1.5Ft 3Ft 6Ft 10Ft 15Ft 20Ft 30Ft 40Ft 50Ft 60Ft 100Ft Heavy Duty High Speed Internet Network Cable, Professional LAN Cable Shielded in Wall, Indoor&Outdoor - TP-Link TL-SG105, 5 Port Gigabit Unmanaged Ethernet Switch, Network Hub, Ethernet Splitter, Plug & Play, Fanless Metal Design, Shielded Ports, Traffic Optimization,Navy Blue --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sc/products/1645508-buffalo-linkstation-210-2tb-1-bay-nas-network-attached-storage](https://www.desertcart.sc/products/1645508-buffalo-linkstation-210-2tb-1-bay-nas-network-attached-storage) --- *Product available on Desertcart Seychelles* *Store origin: SC* *Last updated: 2026-08-01*
