Title: So far so good
Review: I received the LinkStation and had it installed by my IT specialist. It was not installed quickly since the technician had to make several configurations. But in the end, everything worked fine. The installation guide was clear enough. What I like most is that it is very user-friendly. Easy to access and not encrypted.

Title: Easy to set up and works great
Review: The setup on this was very easy. Instructions were clear and correct. Performance of the unit seems reasonable and the unit is quiet. My only concern is that the unit came with Seagate hard drives. I generally prefer Western Digital, as I think they tend to be a little more reliable than Seagate. At least Seagate is a major brand and they didn't put some off-brand in the unit. One thing that I couldn't figure out and that is how to update the firmware. I get a message that a new version is available, but it is not obvious how to install the update. Overall, I am satisfied with the unit and you won't go wrong getting this for the price that it is.

Title: LOSE ALL YOUR DATA
Review: Bought this device about 1 year ago. Operated pretty decent with only 1 connection issue about 6 months into use. Suddenly, the drive is not accessible on the network. Was able to kindof access the device through the navigator2 software only to discover all my data is gone. At this point I am still not panicking as I noticed a free data recovery QR code on the device. Went to Buffalo's website, entered in the serial number and wouldn't you know... This device is no longer supported by any customer service. Not by phone, Not by chat or Email. The only option is data recovery and guess what else..... it isn't free. Do yourself a favor and avoid ALL Buffalo devices. This is the second Buffalo device that I have experienced nothing but problems with. The literally are only good for a paperweight.

Title: Easy Setup and Working Great on Day One
Review: The NAS just arrived a little bit ago. I found the quick setup guide to be very easy to follow mostly because all the steps are so simple. If you need more detailed instructions, the full manual is available for download. I'd say it took me about 5 minutes to hook it up to the network, turn it on, download the software, install it on my PC, and have it up and running. It took me about 10 more minutes to read about setting up folders and set up what I wanted. It was so simple I probably could have skipped the instructions. Then it took me about 15 minutes to set up the DLNA server, which I am completely new to, and have it running on my Roku TV with the Roku Media Player.So far it seems to be working flawlessly, ofcourse we will have to see if that lasts.Pros:1) Extremely cheap when you consider it comes with two 2TB hard drives installed.2) Super easy setup3) Super easy and very simple web interface4) Have it working on multiple computers and my DLNA Roku very quickly5) EULA was super short and simple unlike some other NAS companies that I saw have EULAs requiring that you allow them the right to audit your use of the device, access your site, see your books, etc. Are you kidding me?6) Has a USB connection for an external drive which I think will come in handyCons1) Maybe lacking in utilities compared to some other companies. I just wanted very basic functionality so I'm actually happy without all the extras.2) Speeds copying data over the network to the drive so far have been about 17 MB/s for one computer and combined 24 MB/s when copying from two computers at once. I don't know how much of that is the device and how much is the other drives I'm copying from. But, it does seem a little on the slow side to me.

Review: LinkStation LS210DE19 – 2T byte single drive NASI started using NAS well over 10 years ago. My first NAS (which is still in use is a Buffalo LS-GL284 250 Gbytes) and is around 90%+ full. So then I bought a second Buffalo NAS LS-XLFA8 2T byte unit a few years back but it has become intermittent with an overheating problem causing frequent shutdowns. The files I store on the NAS are not that critical BUT I still wouldn’t like to lose them. Consequently I decided to turf the XLFA8 2T unit and buy a new LinkStation LS210DE19 – 2T byte single drive NAS (and also because it was on sale).As a lot of other reviews state – setup is “not easy” but once set up the NAS does what it’s supposed to do. The instruction sheet that comes with the unit for set-up is less than useless and the CD…. well, it does make a good coffee coaster.I found the “Online Manual” for the NAS to be excellent but at 133 pages in length “ya gotta have patience”. I actually found it a good reference manual after I figured out how to set up the NAS.I set up the NAS using NAS NAVIGATOR2 to find it’s IP address on my LAN and then used the NAS management GUI to perform the setup. After about 6 hours the NAS was up and flying. The area’s I configured on the NAS were the:• Basics – Time, NAS Name, etc• Power management schedule• Local User Names and their privileges• Files folders, their shares and Access Restrictions• Network IP, etc• WebAccess to the NAS (I use an Android phone and the Buffalo WebAccess app)So as can be seen, there are a lot of area’s that I have not set up (RAID / BACKUPS / FTP /DLNA / BitTorrent) and a bunch of other stuff which do not use currently.I did use the NAS “USB Direct Copy” which worked well (good explanation in online manual) and NAS WebAccess on an Android phone was straight forward to set up.File transfer rates on my LAN are about 8-10 megabits /sec. For my type of activity this is OK but others would call this rate very slow. (File transfer rates via WebAccess were/are much faster!!)My final conclusions are that the NAS is a good unit, serves my purpose, is priced OK and I would recommend it to others. Now, if you are new to all of this IP stuff then – “get some help” to set it up.
