LinkStation 710 4TB 1-Bay NAS Network Attached Storage with HDD Hard Drives Included NAS Storage That Works as Home Cloud or Network Storage Device for Home

muy bueno

Ignore the bad reviews, they either received a different drive (mine was beautiful, refurbed by Buffalo and looked and acted like it was brand new. I will also say that the drives, although, yes, 1TB each, are very high name brand quality) that I did or they have never worked with a NAS and they didn't want to read the manual. To be fair, being an ee/CD engineer for the last sixty years, I need to be very careful when I described some as "easy to use". I would suggest that anyone not familiar with NAS systems, Buffalo or otherwise, to first try and read the manual. If the manual uses terms you don't understand and/or the discussion seem "complicated", please do not buy this NAS (or any other). I have at least five different Buffalo NAS systems, of all sizes, and this 520 is, by far, the "easiest" to use. If you can't deal with this NAS, you can't deal with any. This is not your fault since the Buffalo programmers and hardware designers have no concept what a normal people knows and doesn't know about computers! Overall, this 520 series is not their most capable but has all functions that the typical user needs (plus a few more). I would buy another one of these in a heartbeat for a media server. As far as speed goes, this thing is as fast as my $1000 NAS systems. It can only be as fast as your network and the drives on each end. The review that said if was slow is wrong.

El producto tardo mucho pero llego bien. Las instrucciones no venían en español ni en cualquier otro idioma porque eran inexistentes, hubo que buscarse la vida en internet. Después de un mes intentando configurar el dispositivo ME RINDO. La devolución me cuesta un pastón ya que hay que devolverlo a mi cargo por transporte internacional. Me he bajado instrucciones, muy malos tutoriales todos en ingles americano casi incomprensibles para mi. No digo que el producto sea malo puesto que me ha sido imposible configurarlo y usarlo, pero desde luego no es nada fácil de usar.

For what it is, perfect! A NAS with only one disk is not a complete solution, because there is no built-in resilience or recovery system. That did not matter, because I have 4 other 4TB drives linked to 4 PCs, and this is simply a central repository. The big advantage is that it is always on, 24x7, when the PC's are NOT. It is therefore available for update/interrogation from various mobile devices. A full NAS solution would have cost at least twice the price, and most of its functions would have been redundant. It came with a US power supply, but luckily a retired UK unit worked perfectly.

Todo en orden
