I recently deployed 5 linkstation NAS systems 2tb each for my office which primarily uses macs. My pc people have no problems with it, specially the mac ones. It can be used with time machine and as an itunes music server. Just make sure you put these babies on a UPS. NAS's are very sensitive to power fluctuations.

linkstation (buffalo)?

i have a 2TB buffalo one but it broke when I upgraded to Lion, all i can do is transfer files via FTP

Yes buffalo, Half of my systems are on lion (approx 15, including me) no problems with lion.

buffalo linkstation 1tb user here, no problem with lion but have been able to play videos using ipad n iphone, you have thesame dilemma?

thanks for the reply.
what will be the file format of the hard drive then? will it be mac format, fat or ntfs?

I use a Synology NAS and it works great with my Mac and Lion. I believe the file format for most NAS's will be EXT3 (Linux).

Don't worry about it, It has its own format. That makes it work under windows and mac

[marco m]

ok thank you! i was worried on how can it run time machine.
will give it a try

I'm looking at getting the Buffalo Linkstation Pro Duo. Anybody using this? How's the bittorrent feature?
