Able to transfer data to device without a problem. The only issue I do have is that my LG TV will not show it. Got a work around for it though. Would recommend Review: DO NOT BUY no wait...do buy! - I bought this unit expecting to see 16TB to my horror it is only 8 gb. So forget everything i said, i am an idiot.

Kind of Similar to DC Mike's setup; I have a an old AMD PC that hosts my plex server (Athlon x2 4400+, 8gb DDR2, and Radeon HD 6870 *can't remember if video card helps with plex decoding at all, but it's there anyway and has no other use to me) I do have a couple TB worth of media on HDDs in that box but the majority of my data is on similar NAS devices like this buffalo Linkstation. Literally any USB external or NAS drive can host media for a Plex server with extremely little chance of limited performance. The limiting factor in Plex performance comes with the capability of the computer hosting the server to decode and encode media to play on the device you're trying to stream to (for instance, accessing your plex server from another pc takes much fewer resources than on your ipad would require because the server pc has to reencode the media to a format that iOS can utilize) and, in the case of remote streaming, your internet connection. The 10+ year old pc I described can stream multiple 1080p video remotely with no visible lag and I've tried as much as 7 local network 1080p streams and had not issue there.tl;dr - This can host all of your music, video, pictures for a plex server to access but not run the plex server itself. **Q: 3 questions: does it by default appear in windows 10 pro file manager? can the contents be encrypted? can i directly copy to the drive via usb?** A: 1 does it by default appear in windows 10 pro file manager? Not always. I have one that does and one that doesn't. You can set it up as a network drive. 2 The contents are not encrypted. This has to be done before storing them to the drive. # No, the drive can't be accessed by USB. The USB port is to add an additional drive to it. **Q: does this support time machine?** A: I'm having MAJOR problems with it. It's unreliable. It shows it's backup one day. I check a week later only to find it hasn't done a single back up since. Time Machine progress bar shows it being stuck. **Q: Can this be used as an iTunes home sharing server? (e.g. Stream to an apple TV. )** A: Yes ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works well *by C***O on October 31, 2025* Set was easy and smooth. Able to transfer data to device without a problem. The only issue I do have is that my LG TV will not show it. Got a work around for it though. Would recommend ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ DO NOT BUY no wait...do buy! *by M***E on April 7, 2026* I bought this unit expecting to see 16TB to my horror it is only 8 gb. So forget everything i said, i am an idiot. I was looking at what was used not how much space was left....not my best moment. I had to call support as the nas navigator no longer works and i had to do some config changes to allow me to view my drive on my network....so far so good ### ⭐ Not Reliable and Question Quality of this product *by M***Y on May 3, 2022* I purchased and set up this device in January. It's a 8TB Linkstation 720. I was able to set it up easily and transfer all content from another NAS drive, which is around 4 TB. It has been working well for couple months and then I noticed it was not available in Windows file explore and my nightly backups were not being done. I checked the device and there was no power LED on. I had this in a power strip with other devices. I've tried everything but cannot get this unit to power on. Which for me is really bad as I decided weeks ago to move everything over and get rid of the older NAS device. I have backups on CD, but unfortunately I'm concerned I lost everything. That is reason for 1 rating. Support has also been unresponsive for >24 hours. Lets just say I'm not a satisfied Buffalo customer. I'm hoping they come through for me so I can update this post. If not, I do NOT recommend this product. ## Frequently Bought Together - BUFFALO LinkStation 720 4TB 2-Bay Home Office Private Cloud Data Storage with Hard Drives Included/Computer Network Attached Storage/NAS Storage/Network Storage/Media Server/File Server - Intel PRO/1000 PT Dual Port Server Adapter --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/350226932-linkstation-720-4tb-2-bay-home-office-private-cloud-data](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/350226932-linkstation-720-4tb-2-bay-home-office-private-cloud-data) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-02*
