| Does the LinkStation Mini come with a hard drives, or is it a bare shell? |
| The LinkStation Mini comes with two internal hard drives. It is complete and ready to use. |
| Can I connect the LinkStation Mini to a PC with the USB port? |
| No, to connect the LinkStation Mini directly to a PC, use the Ethernet ports instead. The USB port on the LinkStation Mini is designed to connect external USB devices, such as memory sticks or external hard drives, to the LinkStation. Files on these devices will then be available on the network. |
| Does the LinkStation Mini work with Macs? |
| Yes, the LinkStation Mini works perfectly with OS X 10.4.11 and later. |
| Does the Web Access feature require any software to be installed on a PC? |
| No. Buffalo's Web Access feature is completely embedded into the firmware of the LinkStation |
| How does the BitTorrent download feature work? |
| The BitTorrent feature is access through a web browser where a user can upload a .torrent tracker file or simply provide a URL to a tracker. The NAS then downloads the BitTorrent file(s) to the pre-determined download directory. |
| What capacity will the device have in different RAID modes? |
| The dual-drive NAS products support RAID0 and RAID1. In RAID0, both hard drives are combined to provide maximum storage equivalent to the stated capacity of the device. However, in RAID0 there is no data redundancy. RAID1 provides data redundancy by mirroring data from one hard drive to the other and therefore provides half of the stated capacity (the other half is used for data redundancy). |
