The race for network storage device is on. With so many storage devices on the market the competition is tough.

Buffalo Technology LinkStation Live 1.0TB Shared Network Attached Storage entered the market as early as 2003. It has all the specs a NAS can offer but let’s get into this device’s specifics.

The Link station Utilizes Ethernet connectivity which means no special hardware will be needed and no hardware needs to be upgraded on your system. It also has USB 2.0 for connectivity of external USB drives or sharing network printer for example. This is a really useful additional to any NAS drive.

I find this device very dependable and efficient. It operates quietly, has central storage, file sharing over the internet and network. It also has robust backup software, Memeo AutoBackup, so you won’t have to worry about losing your files. Memeo instantly and automatically protects every new or changed file. So you don’t have to worry about manually backing up your files again.

As far as setup is concerned, it was not complicated after all. It comes with a very user friendly interface that after a few minutes of following the installation processes you are ready to go do some backups. This is what I like about new technologies; it is packed with everything as though you won’t have to do anything at all.

Linkstation Live comes with a very sleek and small package thus very handy to keep. And what amaze me further is that even with the capabilities presented this device is eco friendly, it can reduce its power consumption by up to 75%. That is important to some that prefer an environment friendly device.

To sum it all up, these are the important things you must consider:

  • 1 TB for enough storage
  • Share and access files over the Internet and on your iPhone with Web Access
  • Built-in DLNA™ streaming media server
  • Built-in iTunes server
  • Expand storage by adding a USB 2.0 hard drive
  • Minimal power consumption
  • Support for Time Machine™ Functionality
  • Memeo™ AutoBackup software for PCs and Macs included
  • Access data from any Windows or Macintosh computer
  • Built-in FTP and Print servers
  • Built-in BitTorrent client for accessing rich media

This device has a lot to offer and for those who may want high specification device but a low budget, then this is the device for you. This offers more than just storage and backup. Small offices and home networks can easily be implemented using this device.
