Linkstation NAS
The 2TB Linkstation Pro Duo does everything the folks at Buffalo say it will. The configuration utility is a simple web based utility like used on many routers. The setup offers many powerful features like adding numerous user accounts with varying permissions to different shared folders. I have used this feature to give each person their own backup folders for their PC's in addition to putting all our digital pictures in one place for everyone to use.

All you need, probably
Buffalo Technology LS-W2.0TGL/R1 2TB LinkStation Pro Duo Shared Network Storage (Black)
I was looking for a RAID 1 (I do not trust the rest in this price range) and as large as possible. Ran into many in Amazon and this brand had better review than the others. This model showed up recently and the price (309$)was tempting, it only had four 5 Star review which makes it risky, but I received it yesterday and pretty happy with the result.
What I like about LinkStation:

A Decent Simple NAS Solution
This review is from: Buffalo Technology LinkStation Pro Duo 2-Bay 1 TB (2 x 500 GB) Network Attached Storage LS-W1.0TGL/R1 (Electronics) EDIT 1/29/2009: This thing just totally saved my data. My PC crashed over the weekend and wouldn't boot up even after I ran the Windows XP installer in Repair Mode. It just kept rebooting over and over. Fortunately I had backed up my Windows drive to the Linkstation and was able to restore it back to its original location, now everything ...

Easy set up and whisper-quiet operation
This review is from: Buffalo Technology LinkStation Pro Duo 2-Bay 1 TB (2 x 500 GB) Network Attached Storage LS-W1.0TGL/R1 (Electronics) I researched NAS options and read countless reviews on various products for months before taking the plunge and buying this device. I was somewhat apprehensive about what might be involved with the technical setup. I am somewhat tech-savvy, but by no means an IT expert. I wanted a NAS that I could configure to support two computers via a Lin...

Horrendous Customer Support
Okay, so I should have looked at the reviews on Amazon first. I needed more space and thought I got a great price on this device. Well, after installing it and trying to connect it to my network I discoved one little itty bitty problem (okay, so I'm being sarcastic) - the software that is supposed to be installed DOES NOT SHOW UP on my Windows Vista Machine. No big deal, right? WRONG! The software also wasn't on the disk and, therefore, couldn't be manually installed either. Of course, nothing a...

Stay away from t his item
This review is from: Buffalo Technology LinkStation Pro Duo 2-Bay 1 TB (2 x 500 GB) Network Attached Storage LS-W1.0TGL/R1 (Electronics) Read the following letter that I wrote to Buffalo, after purchasing this unit. It tells the whole story. By the way, this email was sent on Tuesday and as of today, Friday, I have yet to get any type of response from Buffalo. One last comment: Amazon has an excellent refund process for returning product purchased directly from Amazon. I...

Works great, not Time Machine friendly
This review is from: Buffalo Technology LinkStation Pro Duo 2-Bay 1 TB (2 x 500 GB) Network Attached Storage LS-W1.0TGL/R1 (Electronics) ***Update***
I didn't mention that when I first purchased this item it took a bit to get it to grab an IP address. I had to plug it into my Airport Extreme Basestation, no go. Plug it into my MacBook Pro, after a very long time(not just minutes), the light on the front stopped blinking(meaning it had an IP), but the MacBook Pro couldn...

Great NAS Solution as File and Media Storage and Server
This review is from: Buffalo Technology LinkStation Pro Duo 2-Bay 1 TB (2 x 500 GB) Network Attached Storage LS-W1.0TGL/R1 (Electronics) I also have the LinkStation Live model, which is a bit cheaper and as some flaws that I was not very happy about. The Pro Duo does not have the same flaws like its sister and also has a few additional features, such as the Media Server.
The Media Server feature was a positive surprise for me and something I am going to play aroun...
