Our take on the Buffalo LinkStation 220 12TB 2-Bay NAS Network Attached Storage with HDD Hard Drives Included

The LinkStation 220 is a two-bay network-attached storage box sold with two 6TB drives installed, for a total of 12TB before RAID. It puts shared storage and automated backups for Windows and Mac computers on your home or small-office network, with no subscription for remote access. Its closed system, SSL transfers and RAID redundancy favor data safety over app flexibility. Against rivals like Synology and QNAP two-bay units, it is simpler and more limited: no third-party app store, and Mac support stops at macOS 15. Buyers who want a set-and-forget backup target rather than a media server will find it adequate; those wanting Plex, Docker or current Macs should look at Buffalo's own LS700 or a Synology.

About the Buffalo LinkStation 220 12TB 2-Bay NAS Network Attached Storage with HDD Hard Drives Included

The Buffalo LinkStation 220 is a 2-bay network attached storage (NAS) device with two 6TB hard drives included, for 12TB of total capacity. It connects to your router over Ethernet and gives your devices shared network storage. It can serve as a central place to store and back up files, in place of separate external drives or cloud accounts.

The built-in personal cloud lets you store, back up and manage videos, music and photos and access them without a monthly fee. It ships in RAID 1 for automatic backup, with 6TB of usable capacity, and can be set to RAID 0. The NAS Navigator management utility and PC backup software are included, so you can set up automated backups of your computers.

For security, the LinkStation uses a closed system to reduce vulnerabilities from third-party apps. It also uses SSL encryption for secure file transfers and RAID for redundancy. You can set individual access restrictions for folders to keep data private while sharing storage space or files with others.

Questions and answers

Is the 12TB usable, or is some lost to RAID?
The 12TB is the raw total of two 6TB drives. In RAID 1 (mirroring) you get about 6TB of protected storage; RAID 0 gives the full 12TB with no redundancy.
Does it work with the latest macOS?
Only up to macOS 15 (Sequoia). Buffalo states macOS 26 is not supported on the LS200 and directs those users to the LS700 series.
Can I install my own drives?
It ships with two 6TB drives already installed. The two-bay design is built around those included drives rather than as a bare enclosure.
Can I reach my files away from home?
Yes. Buffalo markets it as a subscription-free personal cloud, so you can access stored files remotely without a monthly fee.
How does it compare with the LS700?
Buffalo says the LS700 adds enhanced features, cloud capabilities, macOS 26 support and up to 7x faster performance. The LS200 is the simpler, slower option.
What backup software comes with it?
NAS Navigator management utility and PC backup software are included, letting you schedule automated backups from multiple computers.
Where is the Buffalo LinkStation 220 12TB 2-Bay NAS Network Attached Storage with HDD Hard Drives Included cheapest?
At Nex Wave 06, for $629.99, as of our latest check.
