Desktop NAS with 16 TB capacity

The Buffalo LinkStation 720 provides 16 TB of pre-installed storage across two 8 TB drives in a 2-bay desktop chassis. A hexa-core 1.3 GHz processor and 2 GB of memory handle file serving, backup and media streaming for home or small-office users who want a ready-to-use personal cloud without recurring fees.

2.5 GbE networking and USB expansion

A single 2.5 GbE RJ-45 port connects to existing switches or routers using standard Ethernet cabling, while two USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports and one USB 2.0 port allow direct attachment of external drives or printers. The internal AC power supply accepts 100-240 V at 50/60 Hz with a maximum draw of 48 W, so no external adapter is required.

RAID modes and closed-system security

The unit supports RAID 0, RAID 1 and JBOD, letting you choose between performance, redundancy or maximum capacity. A closed firmware architecture limits third-party attack surface, and SSL encryption protects file transfers. DLNA streaming is built in for media playback on compatible devices.

Questions about this item

Will the single 2.5GbE port become the bottleneck during sustained multi-user file transfers?

The single 2.5GbE port limits aggregate throughput to 2.5 Gbps, so heavy concurrent access from multiple clients will saturate the link before the hexa-core CPU or SATA drives reach their limits.

How much heat and noise should I expect when the unit runs continuously in a 40°C environment?

The 48 W maximum power draw and operating range up to 40°C indicate moderate heat output; fan noise will rise under sustained load but stays within typical desktop NAS levels.

Do I need to buy any drives or memory modules before this NAS can operate?

No — the unit ships with two 8 TB SATA drives installed for 16 TB total and 2 GB of soldered memory, so it is ready to use immediately.
