## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can i backup/upload photos from my iphone? if yes, then does it store the photo in same format(eg.: heic) with exif metadata & same size as in iphone?**
A: Yes, you can backup/upload your iPhone photos with our WebAccess-I app. It does not alter the files in any way.

**Q: "standard drives" does not sound like a nas (iron wolf) rated 24x7 duty drive.  if "standard" desktop model drive, can they be upgraded to nas spec?**
A: Yes, the Buffalo LinkStations use what I would call common home computer drives.
Yes, you can replace those drives with any similar size SATA drives.
But, I see no need as I have five Buffalos running 24/7 on my network, the oldest purchased in 2009, the newest in 2018.
I have had no failures - zero.
If you configure the Buffalo to RAID 1 you have no problem even if a drive dies as they are hot-swap and the system does automatic restore on insertion of a new drive.

**Q: I am reviewing the 16tb 720 & will plug it into my wireless router via ethernet. i have both macs & pcs. is this compatable with mac catalina 10.15.7?**
A: Yes, it should work with that OS>

**Q: Will wireless support expire at any future point in time like Western Digital's mycloud did?**
A: The LinkStation SoHo’s Personal Cloud support and WebAccess do not expire. The LinkStation Soho will work on wireless networks after connecting to the router via ethernet cable..

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This NAS works well for me.
*by D***M on November 15, 2023*

Setup was straightforward. (I have at least a moderate amount of computer and networking experience.) This unit is working flawlessly and quietly. Some reviewers have commented about noise on these. However, mine seems nearly silent.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not fancy, but does the job at a great price point
*by J***N on April 11, 2024*

I acquired this NAS storage device when I upgraded my Wi-Fi from a 802.11ac router to a 802.11ax router. My older router had a port to which I had connected a USB 3 drive, but my newer router lacks a USB port. At first I was reluctant to get into a full-blown NAS system with its own software, because I've been totally satisfied with a plain old USB 3 drive attached to my network. I didn't see the point of spending hundreds of dollars, and began by looking for a USB-to-Ethernet converter to plug my USB drive into an Ethernet port of my new router. But then I found a refurbished BUFFALO LinkStation SoHo 720. At around $300 it seemed very reasonable because it included two 2TB drives that could be run in RAID 0 or 1 configuration. Other NAS systems typically require purchasing the disk drives separately. Some of the reviews I read indicated that the software was very basic and not too intuitive to use. But basic was all I wanted, and I did not find the software difficult to use at all. This NAS also has USB ports for attaching additional drives, so I do not have to lose the USB drive I had been using. Win-win-win all-around; I am very happy that I acquired the BUFFALO LinkStation SoHo 720.

### ⭐ Cannot be joined to an Active Directory Domain Safely
*by T***R on April 23, 2025*

Was advised by Buffalo Support this NAS cannot be joined to an Active Directory domain unless SMBv1 is enabled - which is a security risk. I was also advised that doing so would put too much of a load on the CPU and is not recommended.Am disappointed this brand new NAS requires an out of date, risky SMBv1 protocol to be enabled on our domain controller in order to be joined to our domain.
