The LinkStation Duo offers a 1TB, 2TB or 4TB storage capacity NAS solution that allows its users to share multimedia files in the home or small office – data files, photos, video, music and more. The two drives, concealed by a removable front plate, can be configured in RAID 0 and RAID 1, as well as standard, ensuring that all performance and security needs are catered for.

In addition, users can stream multimedia to PCs, Macs, media players such as Buffalo’s LinkTheater and other DLNA/UPnP CERTIFIED devices. Buffalo’s WebAccess feature allows movies, documents and photos to be shared over the Internet and the LinkStation Duo also seamlessly integrates with iTunes 7, allowing access to music files.
