Buffalo LS220D0802B
Score: 52/100Rankings
The LinkStation SoHo 220 is an entry-level 2-bay NAS offering 8 TB of pre-installed storage with basic RAID options. It excels in simplicity and low power draw but falls short on performance, security, and modern connectivity features.
The SSK 2 TB Portable NAS is a battery-powered, Wi-Fi enabled storage device aimed at travelers and on-the-go users. It offers a built-in hotspot, multi-device streaming and easy app-based backups, but isn't suited for continuous home deployment.
