Very good

7.0

out of 10

CNET Editor's rating: 7.0 out of 10
Reviewed by Matthew Elliott
Review date: 6/25/08
Release date: 4/8/08

The good: Small footprint and near silent operation; dual drives offer data redundancy; USB port allows for easy expansion or print sharing; DLNA support for streaming media files over your network.

The bad: Pricey per gigabyte; remote access feature took some work to enable.

The bottom line: The tiniest of NAS drives, the Buffalo LinkStation Mini keeps up with its full-size competition in terms of both features and performance. However, you'll pay a premium price for this small, silent networked drive.
