Review: Works good for Time Machine on Mac Tahoe 26.2 - Works great for the Time Machine backups on Mac Tahoe 26.2. Easy to setup by following their quick start guide and downloading the software. I had to do two firmware updates before using it; took about 30 minutes. Downloaded the owners manual and it easily walked me through setting up the Time Machine backup. First backup takes a few hours. Accessing the drive via Finder is easy and drive is very fast. I've got it plugged into my Xfinity cable modem with the supplied cable. The drive offers more than I need. I'm not doing the web access or iPhone connection. Noisy when doing the backup. Fits nicely on the desk. Hope it will have a long life like my Mac AirPorts. Going to run both the Buffalo and AirPorts for a bit to make sure all is well and until Mac stops supporting the AirPorts. 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. 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 ## Features - Value NAS with RAID for centralized storage and backup for all your devices.

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 good for Time Machine on Mac Tahoe 26.2 *by M***H on January 22, 2026* Works great for the Time Machine backups on Mac Tahoe 26.2.

I am on my third - a 220, and two 720's. They work great for data storage. And when the DLNA feature works, it makes it easy to stream media within your house. But that is broken. Would have given 5 stars, but DLNA server has been broken since the December update, and this is March. I have tried their test firmware update, and it works fine. Installed it a month ago, on my OLDER 720 DLNA is an advertised feature for the home versions (NOT SOHO). If you are a home user, you want that version, as it lets you store media and play it in your house on devices like ROKU, phones, tablets, etc. I will state this is a great network storage device, and its backup feature means you can back up the data, too, without going over the network (attach a POWERED usb external drive) But I also use the DLNA feature to stream to our two ROKU devices and tablets. ## Frequently Bought Together - BUFFALO LinkStation 210 2TB 1-Bay NAS Network Attached Storage with HDD Hard Drives Included NAS Storage That Works as Home Cloud or Network Storage Device for Home - Cat 8 Ethernet Cable, 1.5Ft 3Ft 6Ft 10Ft 15Ft 20Ft 30Ft 40Ft 50Ft 60Ft 100Ft Heavy Duty High Speed Internet Network Cable, Professional LAN Cable Shielded in Wall, Indoor&Outdoor - TP-Link TL-SG105, 5 Port Gigabit Unmanaged Ethernet Switch, Network Hub, Ethernet Splitter, Plug & Play, Fanless Metal Design, Shielded Ports, Traffic Optimization,Navy Blue --- ## 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.jp/products/1645508-buffalo-linkstation-210-2tb-1-bay-nas-network-attached-storage](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/1645508-buffalo-linkstation-210-2tb-1-bay-nas-network-attached-storage) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
