LinkStation 720 4TB 2-Bay Home Office Private Cloud Data Storage with Hard Drives Included/Computer Network Attached Storage/NAS Storage/Network Storage/Media Server/File Server

Set was easy and smooth. Able to transfer data to device without a problem. The only issue I do have is that my LG TV will not show it. Got a work around for it though. Would recommend

I bought this unit expecting to see 16TB to my horror it is only 8 gb. So forget everything i said, i am an idiot. I was looking at what was used not how much space was left....not my best moment. I had to call support as the nas navigator no longer works and i had to do some config changes to allow me to view my drive on my network....so far so good

I purchased and set up this device in January. It's a 8TB Linkstation 720. I was able to set it up easily and transfer all content from another NAS drive, which is around 4 TB. It has been working well for couple months and then I noticed it was not available in Windows file explore and my nightly backups were not being done. I checked the device and there was no power LED on. I had this in a power strip with other devices. I've tried everything but cannot get this unit to power on. Which for me is really bad as I decided weeks ago to move everything over and get rid of the older NAS device. I have backups on CD, but unfortunately I'm concerned I lost everything. That is reason for 1 rating. Support has also been unresponsive for >24 hours. Lets just say I'm not a satisfied Buffalo customer. I'm hoping they come through for me so I can update this post. If not, I do NOT recommend this product.

Device works well, and support is quite responsive. I am on my third - a 220, and two 720's. They work great for data storage. And when the DLNA feature works, it makes it easy to stream media within your house. But that is broken. Would have given 5 stars, but DLNA server has been broken since the December update, and this is March. I have tried their test firmware update, and it works fine. Installed it a month ago, on my OLDER 720 DLNA is an advertised feature for the home versions (NOT SOHO). If you are a home user, you want that version, as it lets you store media and play it in your house on devices like ROKU, phones, tablets, etc. I will state this is a great network storage device, and its backup feature means you can back up the data, too, without going over the network (attach a POWERED usb external drive) But I also use the DLNA feature to stream to our two ROKU devices and tablets.

Bought this drive (8tb) to back up my work computers from one building to another via CAT5 cable. At first Timemachine ran great. Until I realized it was taking 5 days to complete the first back up. FIVE DAYS!! After reading all the documentation, checking the Buffalo forums (nobody EVER replies to the countless Mac users having the same issue) I FINALLY found a solution on a third party forum. Drive has to be set up using AFP instead of SMB. You would think since they bill this drive as Mac/Time Machine capable they would address that. Especially since every review I've read of this drive by a Mac user basically complains about painful slow backups. Yeah, I'm sure if you are tech savvy the that maybe you would know to do this but the drive is billed as being easy to set up out of the box. Just a LITTLE mention in set up would solve this problem.

I have several Buffalo NAS drives and haven’t had issues with any of them. Setup is easy and management software is intuitive. I bought this one as used and the password and done files were left on it, but factory reset was easy and I set it up quickly.

So far I haven’t had any issues with this server. I have it set so two 4TB drives are cloned in case I lose one. You can hear it if the room is quiet, but that’s not a problem for me.

This NAS works well for my network backups. The free backup software included with purchase was too complicated and basically useless and nonfunctional for my network setup.

Bueno para red local, no para usar desde internet

As advertised. Easy to setup as advertised.

It's very simple with the app or the GUI... I had it up and running, severing files in less than 5 mins, including the unpacking... These devices are getting expensive and I'd usually go for a competitor but they are way too expensive for most small businesses to utilize. This is a great option...

Needed to upgrade my 4TB Seagate external drive. Spouse loves to take photos and record videos. This Buffalo LinkStation will probably give us enough media storage for another 5 years :)
