This was my second Buffalo NAS drive with twice the size as my first one as it was nearing it full capacity. Setup was done in less than an hour without any major issue. Already transferred most of my pics and videos on the new drive though it took quite sometime to do it because I have a lot of them. I will closely check the performance for a few months and will be back here for more information.

After suffering for a week and a half trying to get a WD MyCloud to work, experiencing how awful WD support was and a product that just didn't work, I returned that drive and got the Buffalo tech 210 4T. HUGE difference! Everything installed as noted, customer support responded to pre-sale inquiries quickly and just to test, I made a simple request this morning to phone support: How about that - support people who speak English and actually know the answers to your questions! DLNA feature is working like a champ, NAS computer sharing is spot on. I'm really impressed. After almost 20 yrs. of WD, I am now officially glad I tried Buffalo Technology!

I bought this NAS because it had the ability to run a scheduled incremental backup to a USB attached hard drive. We've got 50,000+ Lightroom managed photos on the Buffalo. As we add photos, the incremental backup runs once a week to create my safe second copy!

Initial setup was quick and easy; performance wasn't. In my home network, other NAS have transferred files at 15-20 mg/ this was 2-3. For large file copies (4-20k of files) to the drive, other NAS's would continue to completion; this would simply halt. BestBuy made the return easy.

Good but slow

Purchased the Buffalo Linkstation because my Seagate NAS wouldn't register with seagateshare.com. This is functional but it is relatively slow. I get 15Mbps on read and write speed over 5ghz Wifi. Setup was relatively easy but if you want very high performance, look elsewhere. I haven't tested DLNA with a smart TV but I hope the slow read speed doesn't affect video playback.

Easy set up. Set it up using the IPhone app. Will set up the computer interface tomorrow. Good backup drive for the price.
