Review: A good basic NAS. Just be aware that the power brick has an American plug and no UK adapter. - I really do not understand the 'Buffalo haters'. The Linkstation 210 4TB 1-Bay NAS is a basic network drive, with a basic interface. But you only need use the software for initial setup and maintenance. After that, it just sits on your local network as a mapped drive, same as every other NAS. One reviewer said that you must run the software app (NAS Navigator 2) in order to access the drive on a network. That is utter cobblers. The NAS Navigator app is only required as a simpler way of mapping the drive, viewing your files, or displaying any drive errors, perhaps for folks that do not want to start typing in and bookmarking network addresses. The Linkstation 210 covers all the bases. It can be divided up into folders and user accounts. The folders can be mapped to separate drive letters on your network, and the user accounts can be password protected, so family members can have their own private files library. There is also the usual public area, where everyone can access common files. There is a basic media server, and you can configure the Linkstation to upload to the most common media sharing websites like YouTube or Dropbox. The Linkstation also offers a personal cloud feature, where you can access your files from anywhere in the world for free. But you need to be a little more tech-savvy to set up that feature. I have had the larger 2-bay Buffalo 220 NAS in my house now for 6 years, running 24/7. It has proven to be extremely reliable. One of the hard drives began misbehaving after 4 years, and was replaced. The other is still running error-free. Obviously, the single bay 210 does not have the ability for RAID protection. But you can configure it for automatic backup over the network, or via the USB port on the rear. The USB port will work with a shutdown command from an interruptible power supply, so if you power the NAS through a UPS, it will work with apps like Parachute, and complete a proper shutdown, if the battery in the UPS is almost exhausted. In fact that is my only issue with the 210. I wish it had a second USB port on the front of the unit, so you could have the comms with the UPS and also have the ability of backups, without unplugging cables. If I did not already own it's bigger brother, that single feature would have had me purchasing something from Synology instead. Like I said, the larger 220 has been literally running 24/7 for 6 years now, and I have had no issues with the cooling fan, or had any strange hangs or crashes. I have found the 220 to be a very reliable device, and I expect nothing less from the smaller 210. Just remember that Buffalo NAS drives are very popular in the USA, Canada and Japan, so the unit ships with a power brick with the mains plug used in those counties. There is no 'slide-on' pin adapter for any other countries. You will need to purchase a USA to UK plug adapter. The branded one I purchased from desertcart was £8. Although the power brick will plug in to a standard UK shaver adapter, the NAS pulls 2 amps, so it will blow the 1Amp fuse in any shaver adapter. If you just need a reliable, basic NAS/Media Server, to put on a shelf, set up once, then forget about it, Buffalo devices are highly recommended.
Review: Connection with a win 11 pc is not automatic, with win 11 home have not yet managed it. - its not Buffalos fault, but getting a win 11 pc to connect tp a pc is not quite as simple as pnp. It does work with win 11 pro, but I have yet to get it to work with win 11 home. (I hesitate to alter the registry for obvious reasons)

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Anyone use this successfully as a Plex media server?**
A: To clarify, this can absolutely be used as storage for the media you host on a plex server but you will need to run the plex server on another device. Kind of Similar to DC Mike's setup; I have a an old AMD PC that hosts my plex server (Athlon x2 4400+, 8gb DDR2, and Radeon HD 6870 *can't remember if video card helps with plex decoding at all, but it's there anyway and has no other use to me) I do have a couple TB worth of media on HDDs in that box but the majority of my data is on similar NAS devices like this buffalo Linkstation.  Literally any USB external or NAS drive can host media for a Plex server with extremely little chance of limited performance.  The limiting factor in Plex performance comes with the capability of the computer hosting the server to decode and encode media to play on the device you're trying to stream to (for instance, accessing your plex server from another pc takes much fewer resources than on your ipad would require because the server pc has to reencode the media to a format that iOS can utilize) and, in the case of remote streaming, your internet connection.  The 10+ year old pc I described can stream multiple 1080p video remotely with no visible lag and I've tried as much as 7 local network 1080p streams and had not issue there.tl;dr - This can host all of your music, video, pictures for a plex server to access but not run the plex server itself.

**Q: 3 questions: does it by default appear in windows 10 pro file manager? can the contents be encrypted? can i directly copy to the drive via usb?**
A: 1 does it by default appear in windows 10 pro file manager? Not always. I have one that does and one that doesn't. You can set it up as a network drive.
2 The contents are not encrypted. This has to be done before storing them to the drive.
# No, the drive can't be accessed by USB. The USB port is to add an additional drive to it.

**Q: does this support time machine?**
A: I'm having MAJOR problems with it. It's unreliable. It shows it's backup one day. I check a week later only to find it hasn't done a single back up since. Time Machine progress bar shows it being stuck.

**Q: Can this be used as an iTunes home sharing server? (e.g. Stream to an apple TV. )**
A: Yes

### ⭐ No now recommended
*by M***N on 11 September 2025*

After 6+ years of use this is effectively a local hard drive in my home as the supplier has terminated European support effective August 2025. Cannot therefore recommend you buy unless you are operating through a VPN that connects you outside of Europe.
