Reviews of the Buffalo LinkStation Mini (1TB, black)

  • 7.0

    CNET Review

    June 25, 2008

    The Good: Small footprint and near silent operation; dual drives offer data redundancy; USB port allows for easy expansion or print sharing; DLNA support for streaming media files over your network.

    The Bad: Pricey per gigabyte; remote access feature took some work to enable.

    The Bottom Line: The tiniest of NAS drives, the Buffalo LinkStation Mini keeps up with its full-size competition in terms of both features and performance. However, you'll pay a premium price for this small, silent networked drive.
