Abstract: The LinkStation mini is the smallest NAS weve seen. It uses a pair of 2in laptop hard disks instead of the 3in hard disks used by the other devices here. It measures just 82x42x135mm, so it is easy to tuck out of sight. Despite its size, it has a ...
Excellent feature set, Tiny footprint and weight, Good software
A bit costly, Drive is slow, Nothing special
When Buffalo visited the TechRadar offices to show off this product its representatives confessed that they didn’t quite know who would buy the LinkStation Mini. A squashed down version of the company’s very successful LinkStation Live range...
Choice of RAID 1 redundancy or RAID 0 size. USB connection adds more storage. Print-server option. Online access works even with dynamic IP addresses. Quiet.

Pricey per gigabyte; remote access feature took some work to enable.
The tiniest of NAS drives, the Buffalo LinkStation Mini keeps up with its full-size competition in terms of both features and performance. However, youll pay a premium price for this small, silent networked drive. Specifications: Product Description: ...
