Consolidate personal or small-office data on a compact NAS that is ready to work from day one. The Buffalo LinkStation 220 includes 12 TB total capacity across 2 preinstalled 6 TB hard drives, giving you immediate room for documents, media libraries, and backup targets without a separate drive purchase. RAID 0 and RAID 1 support lets you choose between higher usable capacity or mirrored protection, depending on how you want to balance performance and resilience. The 2-bay design keeps the system simple to manage while still offering a meaningful upgrade path over single-drive storage. For environments that need a straightforward network storage appliance rather than a full-scale array, that simplicity matters. TAA compliance also makes this model easier to specify in procurement environments where sourcing requirements are part of the decision. Compared with lower-cost consumer enclosures, the LinkStation 220 is positioned for dependable shared storage with clearer compliance alignment and a more disciplined hardware configuration. It is a practical fit when you need a compact NAS that can serve as a central repository for backups, media, and everyday file access.
