[1.75 lb] 1. This drive is very easy to use as is---you can plug it in, download the apps, and use it that way.
2. If you're using Linux and/or don't want to download their apps, you can just connect to the device through a browser and set it up that route instead.
3. The device itself runs Linux, so if you want to tinker with it there are folks online who show you how to run Debian on it! (Just google debian on buffalo.) It's not very powerful (Arm7 with 256MB RAM) but if you want you can still use it for a bit more than just storage.

I'm really happy with my purchase.

[1.75 lb] [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It has lots of storage and is space Efficient good product for the cost

[1.75 lb] Once I got the permissions correct it performs nicely - solid piece of kit Nice to have an easy backup solution with any platform

[1.75 lb] This item which I received quickly has performed just as I expected it would. I have zero issues.

[1.75 lb] Network drive seems to work ok.. no problems. Too early to tell, Time will tell, ask me in 2 years. Quick and easy set up. Not my first one, my third Buffalo network drive. Great value for price through B&H Photo..

[1.75 lb] I must admit if you are not technically knowledgeable about how networking works then this is not for you! Easy setup means sometimes easy to hack! Basically Buffalo NAS is targeted for Business class. I have seen most of the businesses running are using Buffalo products for backup specifically TerraStation model which is similar setup to LinkStation but with more robust features. Once you understand the system then you will never look for another NAS. I always trusted this brand! Hope this will give some clarifications and helps people who are looking to install in their networks.

[1.75 lb] The drive works great but I needed to speak with two people at Buffalo to get it to rebuild.� Regardless, Buffalo will provide phone support even if the product is out of warranty.� You can't beat that.

[1.75 lb] After studying the field, we ordered the Buffalo ls120. This comes configured with 2 drives as raid 1. It was particularly important to insure from data loss. Storage space was secondary. NAS of this quality are usually more expensive (and with more storage than I need). Any device on my LAN can access and share the data without having an attached PC necessary all the time. Other configs are optional, but with raid1, in the unlikely event of one drive failure, the data is still safe and continuously available on the other one. Buffalo would rush a replacement of the failed drive quickly with no interruption.

[1.75 lb] Exactly as described. A good price for a fully functional Windows IoT storage server. Quiet and powerful.

[1.75 lb] I only installed it a short week ago. But my computer tech set it up for me and so far all goes smooth. I have another Buffalo as well and this one also runs well and smooth!
B&H is a respected company and I trust them since several decades. They are prompt in delivery and execute returns also very efficient.
