At a Full Terabyte, the Sleek, Compact Design of Buffalo's New LinkStation Mini Frees Up Work Space Without Compromising Performance or Capacity
AUSTIN, Texas, April 8, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Buffalo Technology, a
global leader in the design, development and manufacturing of wired and
wireless networking, storage and memory solutions, today announced the
latest addition to its high performance line of storage devices: the
dual drive LinkStation Mini (LS-WS1.0TGL/R1). With its sleek, compact
and light form factor, the new LinkStation Mini puts a massive 1TB in
the palm of your hand while offering the same great features and
protection that Buffalo's award-winning NAS devices are known for.
Buffalo will also soon offer a 500GB version of the LinkStation Mini.
The new LinkStation Mini is the perfect space-saving solution for
storing and sharing large amounts of digital content. Best of all, its
dual drive configuration provides complete data redundancy through RAID
1. In addition, users with a large media library will appreciate the
included DLNA server by TwonkyVision, so they can stream files through
any DLNA compatible media player.
"The number of computer peripherals needed to keep up with today's
fast-paced digital world seems to add up daily," said Takayuki
Nishioka, CEO of Buffalo Technology, USA. "Businesses and consumers
alike are seeking space saving solutions with the same level of
performance and features as standard-sized NAS devices. The new
LinkStation Mini is the ideal storage networking solution for these
customers because it's compact and easy-to-use, yet robust,
feature-rich and extremely cost effective."
The LinkStation Mini includes Buffalo's own Web Access feature, which
allows users to easily access content stored on the device from
anywhere in the world via a web browser. It also includes a Remote
Power Feature, which can power up the unit remotely with the included
Navigator software. The extra USB port allows users to add an
additional external hard drive for expanded capacity or a printer that
can then be shared via the integrated print server. It also supports
UPS so you can gracefully shutdown the unit in the event of a power
failure. The product measures only 1.57 x 3.22 x 5.31 inches and weighs
a slight 1.1 pounds.
Other features of the LinkStation Mini include:
* 10/100/1000Mbps auto sensing Ethernet port
* Two 5,400RPM 2.5 inch notebook drives.
* Support for RAID 0 and RAID 1
* Active Directory Support
Pricing and Availability
Backed by a limited three-year warranty and toll-free 24/7 technical
support, the 1TB LinkStation Mini (LS-WS1.0TGL/R1) will be available in
May at an estimated street price of $699. The device can be purchased
