Buffalo Linkstation Pro Pro Reviews

Sort:

expertreviews‘s review Edit Like Unlike

Unfortunately, the LinkStation Pro is also remarkable for its extremely slow file transfer speeds. It’s at its fastest if you install Buffalo's speed-enhancing tools on the PC from which you're copying. This software uses your PC's memory to cache data during the transfer process, but when using it we saw an average transfer speed of just 37MB/s in our large file transfer test and 6.4MB/s in our small file test. Without the software installed, transfer speeds dropped to 27.4MB/s and 6MB/s respectively. Although its slow speeds are likely to be a problem if you regularly run large backups or stream media to multiple devices, you'll have no problems streaming standard definition movies or audio to a single client.

A simple web interface is used for management, with facilities to control user access, configure the network and file sharing options and arrange for email alerts. Performance-wise, Buffalo claims 35Mbytes/sec but that’s with jumbo Ethernet frames enabled and support for this option is far from universal. We only got about 20Mbytes/sec on our tests, although that’s still pretty good for this kind of single-disk Nas device. Factor in the free PC backup software and, at the price, it’s a tempting buy.

Buffalo delivers a well designed NAS appliance with plenty of capacity on tap and a fine turn of speed as well. Installation is very simple and it offers a similar level of storage, backup and security features as the higher-end TeraStation appliances.

All in all, it’s a neat package, with a good range of options. It won’t suit the more technical user, perhaps, but the interface is clear and straightforward enough for casual users, without over complicating things.
