After testing the latest and greatest day in and day out, it's hard to get amped up about mainstream hardware. Really, Buffalo's LinkStation 420 satisfies any expectation you might have of a basic network-attached storage device. It's attractive enough, i...

Abstract: The Buffalo LinkStation 420 has got to be one of the easiest NAS setups I have ever used. Retailing at $279 for the 2TB variant. What you have is a network storage solution that is pretty much a plug and play setup for Windows 8 user. Simply connect it to...

This time around, Buffalo seems to have really kept their eye on performance. The Linkstation 420 has pretty good performance, especially when compared to previous Buffalo models we've looked at. It even currently holds the top position in the RAID 1 File...

L'analisi del LinkStation 420 è iniziata con il nostro apprezzamento per l'impegno profuso da Buffalo nel rendere la fruizione del suo NAS estremamente semplice ed intuitiva, anche a quell'utente totalmente alle prime armi. Il produttore è infatti riuscit...
