  • So far better than expected except initial setup
Size: 6TB (1x6TB) Style: LS210 | 1-Bay
Exceeds expectations so far. All I really wanted was a basic network storage drive for my home office so I can have that magic "L:" drive or whatever accessible by all my machines on the network can map to for central location storage location for test data, business admin data, personal data, whatever. Being my first NAS I decided to go with this less-expensive model (without RAID) as a low-risk intro, and so far I'm very impressed. Bonus Features: This is probably why most other people buy this thing, but I like the idea of it doubling as a media server for the whole home wifi network also. NOTES for PC users - read this and it might save you a few minutes: -I noticed some negative comments about the setup, and it can be a little misleading. It actually came with a cd/dvd, and the setup instructions (which ironically you don't really end up needing) said you're supposed to run the driver setup from the dvd (as if everyone still has a dvd drive!). Not having dvd drive I downloaded the software from Buffalo support site, and it said "it couldn't find a device on the network that needs updating". To me this sounded like it couldn't find the drive, but after getting a little frustrated and researching it turns out the firmware was just already up-to-date. Logging into my router admin I could see the device just fine and get its IP, and the admin tool accessible by typing the ip into a browser is nice and intuitive (if you're remotely familiar with basic pc/networking concepts). It is there where I started looking around at features and discovered I can plug a usb storage device right into this thing AND easily set up backup jobs from the drive to the storage drive. Also cool I can actually see the USB drive from that network share also - pretty sweet and versatile looking. Overall I give it a 4.7 out of 5.0 so (-0.1 for slightly misleading instructions, and -0.2 because it actually had a dvd come with it! lol) ... show more

  • Disappears from network
Size: 2TB (1x2TB) Style: LS210 | 1-Bay
Buffalo LinkStation 210 I wanted a simple NAS to store/share music and video files. For the price this Buffalo LinkStation 210 seemed perfect. Plugged it in, punched in it's IP into Firefox, set up two folders as public shares and bam, done. When copying about 50 gig of music files to it, got an error, server not found. It is gone from network neighborhood. I could still access it's web setup, but not access it on the network. I could also "ping" it. When looking at the shares on the web setup everything looked fine, but it wasn't found by Windows Explorer in Network. After an hour or so of trying to figure out what's up, looking on the Web, downloading and reading the manual (not included, you have to get it from the web) and having no luck, for grins and giggles I redid the "Getting Started" wizard. This seemed to fix it. I finished copying the files to it and went to bed. However, the next day, it's gone from the network. Same issue. Reran the "Getting Started" wizard and it did not fix it. Turned it off and back on and it's back on the network... and about an hour later and it's gone again. Documentation says to download "NAS Navigator" to use the NAS. WTF mate? Why do I need a specific program to use a NAS? I just wanted a simple, inexpensive, low power, NAS to share files on a home network -- this one ain't it. I have a mixed home network consisting of Windows 98, 2000, XP, Win 7 (32 bit and 64 bit), Windows 10, GNU Linux, and Android computers/devices. I am not (and in some cases cannot) going to install a "NAS Navigator" program on each one to use a simple NAS. ... show more

  • Handy home NAS setup with minor tradeoffs
Size: 4TB (1x4TB) Style: LS210 | 1-Bay
Why I ordered this item: My external drives are all over the place and I wanted one spot to dump backups and photos without paying for cloud storage every month. Likes: * Setup was speedy. I plugged it into my router, ran the Navigator software, and it found the drive in like a minute. * It just sits on my network and shows up like a regular folder on my computer. No app, no login screen every time. * I set up folder permissions for my wife's laptop so she can't dig through my work files. Took maybe five minutes to configure. * The box itself is small. It fits behind my router and I basically forget it's there except for a tiny blue light. * I dragged over a folder of 4K video clips and it didn't choke or stutter, just chugged through them at a steady clip. No likes: * It's kind of loud when the drive spins up. Not obnoxious, but you'll hear it in a quiet room. * Only one drive bay, so theres no redundancy. If this drive dies, everything on it dies with it. * The app for managing it feels a little dated. The menus look like they're from ten years ago, but I could still find the settings I needed without digging around. Would I pay full price for this product: Yes Final thoughts: I dumped my phone photos and laptop backups onto it and now they all live in one folder instead of scattered across three thumb drives in a drawer. ... show more

  • Works as it should

Works as it should. Simple Quick setup instructions work just fine on Win 10 and Win 11 computers. Easy to map it as network drive. Added bonus - made in Japan not in China.

  • Failed to connect to my system - support does not exist, apparently
Size: 4TB (1x4TB) Style: LS210 | 1-Bay
The installation is fairly simple, and the Ikea-like Quick Setup Guide is quite adequate for making the initial setup easy. The problem I encountered was using the software to configure the unit. It failed to find the unit but gave no errors or clues about what might be wrong. The claim was that the support is great so I thought it would be moderately easy to get an answer. I was wrong. I found the support page on their website but the only telephone option was to call sales. The victim must enter the serial number of the unit which is not all that easy to find. I entered my number and was directed to enter a message to support. I received no acknowledgement that my support query had been accepted so I kept searching on the interweb for possible reasons for my unit not being detected and found that it had to be on the same subnet. After rearranging my network, I was able to configure the unit but then could not create the shares with various issues. I found an article about having to create Windows credentials and that got me closer but still no joy. I had registered my unit as a first step. As I was trying to research the issue, I received an email telling me that my warranty had been accepted. I went back to their support page and, this time, after entering my serial number I was given a support telephone number to call. The support person was helpful and knowledgeable. He corrected the settings being still set to being DISABLED which he indicated were the default. I still have a hard time believing that the unit comes with the shares being disabled but it works, now. Buffalo needs to improve the software side of the installation and give their victims hints and guidance about what may be causing issues. I have installed the backup software, but it seems rather lame and ineffective. Hopefully, it is better than it appears on first blush. ... show more

  • So far so good, just a basic single disk NAS
Size: 4TB (1x4TB) Style: LS210 | 1-Bay
So far I'm impressed by how well this is working, even for being essentially six year old technology. I prefer WD NAS boxes but got a great deal on this 4tb Buffalo 210 on Amazon warehouse, so good in fact that I was willing to buy one. First off based on the drive info in the control panel mine has a desktop-rated-drive rather than a NAS-rated one. Not a deal breaker for what I paid, and since the history of my particular used unit is unknown, this may or may not be typical of the new ones. I watched a review on Youtube from several years ago that prepared me for some of what to expect in configuring the device. I wasn't a fan of being directed by the instructions to download setup software, but after that I was able to get into the browser control panel setup which turned out somewhat similar to other NAS products. I configured mine to have a static IP address, setup my users and shares, browsed my local network by IP address and copied files to the shared folders. I haven't done anything fancy yet, just simple smb file sharing. File transfer speeds for my single drive unit were slow like I expected... in the 20 to 30 mb/s sustained write speed for a very large single file by a single user with no other drive/network activity. I'd recommend using this for light duty applications because I've had bad experiences with other devices being overwhelmed when multiple write streams are going on at the same time... everything always seems to get heavily fragmented and performance tanks... a single drive can easily be the bottleneck. If my short-term good experience turns into a long-term good experience I wouldn't hesitate to get another one of these (at the right price). ... show more

  • Great Bang for the buck
Size: 2TB (1x2TB) Style: LS210 | 1-Bay
This NAS device is a great deal for the storage amount but setting up can be difficult if your not good with computers. Pros- Very small so it can fit almost anywhere, You can easily flash your data onto a flash drive or even turn the flashdrive into an external storage device which is what I did. quiet and all it does Is hum because of the hard drive, comes with what looks to be a 5 foot ethernet cable (reads at 1 gigabit) so it's an all in one (I either didn't see were it said it came with one or it didn't say it and I bought a 25 foot cable) Cons- minimal aio, I cant seem it find a switch or button to remove the drive so if it fails you loose the entire system. What you get- ●The NAS device ●Looks like 5 foot ethernet cable (1 gigabit) ●Decently long power cable ●Old disk for software (if you dont have a disk drive you can look up the buffalo software download and get it there for free) ●unuseful Manuel for those without a disk drive and an iPhone (very disappointed about because I dont have either and had to do it all by myself without much help) ●It come very well packaged so if its delivered in the rain or gets kicked around a bit it will still be in perfect condition. --- The software is quite user friendly but be aware that once you get on it you must change the permissions because everyone including admin has no privileges. To connect your NAS after it's on and you know your IP address (for windows) Go to your home screen, click files, go to add drive which should show at the top of the files window and then type \\*IP address*\share No spaces Then it should show ... show more
