## Description

LinkStation 210 4TB NAS Cloud

Review: For what it is, perfect! A NAS with only one disk is not a complete solution, because there is no built-in resilience or recovery system. That did not matter, because I have 4 other 4TB drives linked to 4 PCs, and this is simply a central repository. The big advantage is that it is always on, 24x7, when the PC's are NOT. It is therefore available for update/interrogation from various mobile devices. A full NAS solution would have cost at least twice the price, and most of its functions would have been redundant. It came with a US power supply, but luckily a retired UK unit worked perfectly.
Review: Justo lo que esperaba, lo co ecte a mi red de oficina con switc gigabit y es rápido, y el dlna funciona excelente, lo recomiendo, aparte de todo. Es silencioso

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Anyone use this successfully as a Plex media server?**
A: To clarify, this can absolutely be used as storage for the media you host on a plex server but you will need to run the plex server on another device. 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

Good product; great value for money. Performance is good, but recently the company’s UK service was withdrawn and the mobile app stopped working. Sadly, I had to return it.
