Buffalo LinkStation SOHO 720DB 8TB desktop NAS with 2 bays and 2.5GbE

Keep critical files close, protected, and easy to reach with a desktop NAS designed for small teams that need more than basic external storage. The Buffalo LinkStation SOHO 720DB pairs 8 TB of installed HDD capacity with a dual-drive design, giving you the flexibility to prioritize performance with RAID 0 or data protection with RAID 1. A hexa-core 1.30 GHz processor and 2 GB of memory help the system handle everyday file serving tasks with less friction, while 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet gives connected users faster access than standard Gigabit NAS models. With support for TCP/IP, CIFS/SMB, FTP, and FTPS, it fits into common Windows and mixed-environment workflows without extra complexity. This model is built for practical deployment: desktop form factor, two hot-swappable drive bays, and USB expansion for external devices. For organizations that want a compact NAS with stronger networking and included drives, it offers a clear step up from entry-level units that force you to source disks separately. TAA compliance also makes it suitable for procurement environments with sourcing requirements.
