Buffalo 8TB LinkStation 220 Personal Cloud Storage NAS Drive (2 x 4TB)

The Buffalo LS220D0802 is an 8TB personal cloud storage device that resides on your network and lets you collect, protect and share data from every computer or mobile device you own. Two pre-installed 4TB drives give you the choice between a full 8TB of space in RAID 0 or mirrored redundancy in RAID 1, so you can prioritize either capacity or peace of mind.

Getting started is simple. Connect the LinkStation to your router through the Gigabit Ethernet port, launch the guided setup, and begin moving files from Windows PCs, Mac computers, smartphones and tablets. A clean web dashboard lets you create shared folders, set user permissions and schedule backups without digging through complex menus.

Once it is online, the LinkStation becomes a central library for photos, videos, music and work documents. DLNA certification and an integrated iTunes server allow smart TVs, game consoles and media players to stream content directly from the NAS, turning family movie night or casual listening into a cable-free experience. When you are away, Buffalo’s personal cloud service grants secure remote access at no extra cost, making it easy to retrieve a presentation, upload new photos or share large files with a client.

The LinkStation also works as a safety net for your computers. Built-in backup software handles incremental copies of multiple Windows machines, and Time Machine support gives Mac users a seamless way to protect their data. If you need more space, the rear USB port accepts an external drive for quick archives or expansion.

Because the system has no ongoing subscription fees, it delivers a private cloud that stays under your control and remains affordable over time. Whether you are managing a growing media catalog at home, running a creative studio or equipping a small office with shared storage, the LS220D0802 offers dependable capacity and easy access in one compact chassis.
