Buffalo LinkStation SoHo 720 8TB 2-Bay NAS Server (2 x 4TB)

The Buffalo LS720D0802B is a two-bay network attached storage server that gives homes and small offices a dependable place to keep important files. It arrives with two 4TB drives already installed and set to RAID 1, so your data is mirrored for peace of mind from the first power-on.

With a processor that runs on six cores and 2 GB of memory, the system handles everyday tasks such as file sharing, media streaming, and scheduled backups without slowing the rest of your network. A 2.5-Gigabit Ethernet port lets you move large photo libraries, design projects, or office documents at speeds that ordinary Gigabit connections cannot match, and it works through the cabling you likely already have.

Backup tools are built in. Macs can point Time Machine straight at the LinkStation, and Windows PCs can use the included utility for automated protection. If you prefer an off-site copy, direct hooks to Dropbox and OneDrive let you sync selected folders to the cloud while keeping the primary dataset local for quick access.

Security comes from several layers. The closed operating system reduces exposure to malware, and SSL encryption protects remote sessions when you need to reach files away from the office. The drives sit in a mirrored array, so if one fails your data remains intact, and a three-year warranty backed by 24 / 7 U.S. support adds an extra safety net.

Setup is straightforward: connect power, plug in the network cable, and run the short on-screen guide. Families can centralize photos and videos, creative professionals can store active projects, and small businesses can give every employee a secure, shared workspace without paying monthly cloud fees.
