Buffalo Supplement LinkStation NAS Range with New 1TB LinkStation Mini NAS

Buffalo have unveiled the latest model in their LinkStation range of NAS
storage devices in the form of the LinkStation Mini which, apart from
offering a compact, highly portable form factor sports dual 5400rpm 2.5'
hard drives offering a cool 1TB of total storage capacity.

Apart from its formidable capacity, Buffalo's new LinkStation Mini also
comes with an extra, rear mounted USB port allowing for connectivity
with additional storage devices (or, for example, a printer) as well as
an Ethernet port and RAID 0 / RAID1 configuration options though it
should be stressed that, unlike standard external hard drives, the unit,
in being a NAS device, is limited to network usage and so cannot be
directly plugged into a PC (except with use of a patch cable).

Buffalo's 1TB LinkStation Mini NAS, which is expected to become
available in early May, will retail for around $700 although those
looking for a cheaper device at the expense of overall capacity should
note that Buffalo are also purportedly working on a 500MB version of the
LinkStation Mini - details of which, concerning pricing and
availability, are as yet unforthcoming.
