Our take on the LinkStation 220 NAS 8TB Personal Cloud Storage Media Server

The LinkStation 220 is a two-bay desktop NAS from Buffalo, sold here with two 4TB drives for 8TB total. It covers the basics: shared folders on your network, remote access through Buffalo's web portal, DLNA media streaming, and scheduled backups from PCs and Macs. It is a simpler, slower class of NAS than Synology or QNAP two-bay units, which offer app stores, Docker and stronger processors. Buy it if you want straightforward network storage and media sharing without managing a platform; skip it if you want to run apps, virtual machines or heavy photo indexing.

Questions and answers

Is the 8TB usable or is it two 4TB drives?
It ships with two 4TB drives, 8TB total. In RAID 0 you get the full 8TB but no redundancy; a mirrored setup halves usable space.
Can I run Plex on it?
No. It serves media over DLNA, which most TVs and consoles accept, but it does not run Plex or other server apps.
How does it compare with a Synology two-bay NAS?
Synology units are faster and run a large app platform. The LinkStation 220 is simpler and aimed at plain file sharing and backups.
Can I replace the drives later?
Yes, both bays are accessible and take standard SATA drives, so you can swap in larger disks when you need more room.
Does it back up my computers automatically?
It supports scheduled backups from Windows and Mac machines to the NAS, and can back its own data up to an external USB drive.
Do I need to open router ports for remote access?
No. Remote access goes through Buffalo's web service, so you do not configure port forwarding, but it depends on that service staying up.
