Buffalo Technology LinkStation Pro Reviewed at TrustedReviews
Posted by Damion Chaplin in "HARDWARE" @ 03:00 PM
"For well over year now Buffalo’s LinkStation has been its main offering to consumers looking for a low-cost NAS appliance with a decent range of features. The latest LinkStation Pro takes this concept as its foundation but builds on it with the aim of targeting small businesses that also want a simple network storage and backup appliance... Buffalo delivers a well designed NAS appliance with plenty of capacity on tap and a fine turn of speed as well. Installation is very simple and it offers a similar level of storage, backup and security features as the higher-end TeraStation appliances."
With gigabit ethernet, built-in power brick and capacities up to 750GB, the LinkStation Pro looks like a solid offering. The only thing it doesn't do is allow USB printers to be shared over the network, but this feature doesn't work with many printers anyway (it only allows one-way communication with the printer). If you're in the market for a nice NAS, check out their review.
