(even compared to other Buffalo NASs which I have) *by E***R on March 6, 2024* Ignore the bad reviews, they either received a different drive (mine was beautiful, refurbed by Buffalo and looked and acted like it was brand new. I will also say that the drives, although, yes, 1TB each, are very high name brand quality) that I did or they have never worked with a NAS and they didn't want to read the manual. To be fair, being an ee/CD engineer for the last sixty years, I need to be very careful when I described some as "easy to use". I would suggest that anyone not familiar with NAS systems, Buffalo or otherwise, to first try and read the manual. If the manual uses terms you don't understand and/or the discussion seem "complicated", please do not buy this NAS (or any other). I have at least five different Buffalo NAS systems, of all sizes, and this 520 is, by far, the "easiest" to use. If you can't deal with this NAS, you can't deal with any. This is not your fault since the Buffalo programmers and hardware designers have no concept what a normal people knows and doesn't know about computers!Overall, this 520 series is not their most capable but has all functions that the typical user needs (plus a few more). I would buy another one of these in a heartbeat for a media server. As far as speed goes, this thing is as fast as my $1000 NAS systems. It can only be as fast as your network and the drives on each end. The review that said if was slow is wrong. ### ⭐ DO NOT BUY FROM THIS MANUFACTURER *by K***R on August 22, 2023* Two months after purchasing this item, and the manufacturer has informed me that they will not honor any warranty for this item. They claim it is "liquidated stock", which, by the way IS PRECISELY WHAT ALL SOLD INVENTORY IS.They do not publish a phone number for support either. All I was trying to do is find out why their incomplete instructions don't match their system's software, so I cannot make it accessible from my phone, which the instructions claim I should be able to do .AGAIN, THIS MANUFACTURER IS A SCAM ARTIST, AND YOU SHOULD NOT PURCHASE FROM THEM.Zero stars are at least one too many for this. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is awesome and easy... if you know some basics *by S***M on January 16, 2020* This is a RAID server... which means a few things... you can either set it up as a mirror raid with 1TB total (as both drives have the same data written to them so if one fails, you have all your data) or as a 2TB combined drive system (and if you loose one drive, you are out of luck without a backup). File sharing for either Windows, Mac and Linux support. External Backup support. Web support (need a hard IP from your ISP). Can access data remotely from my iPhone. Takes about 20 minutes to setup for mirror array. Data access across the internal network is fast! Data access from remote site is limited to your speed at the office to the remote site.This is a wonderful device. Before you read the review about the whole 2TB oh my god crap... they know nothing... you are getting a full server with hot swappable hard drives included... need more space, get bigger drives and install in about 2 minutes. Geez. Check out the manufacture's web site and read a little before purchasing.Need a server for your office but a blade server is overkill because there is like 10 of you and your old server is dying... this is the system for you. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/42016758-buffalo-linkstation-520-2tb-private-cloud-storage-nas-with-hard](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/42016758-buffalo-linkstation-520-2tb-private-cloud-storage-nas-with-hard) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-05-28*
