Power draw measured a meager 9 W with the drive running. The CloudStor’s noise was very low despite its fan and I didn’t notice any drive noise in my quiet home office. There is one USB 2.0 port on the rear where you can connect a printer to share via Pogoplug printer sharing. LAN connection is via a single Gigabit Ethernet port that does not support jumbo frames. So you can’t pull the drive out and start from scratch with a larger drive. So if you want to move to RAID 0 or 1, you’ll need to back up your data and restore it.Īlso note that the OS lives on a partition on the pre-installed drive. Note that there is no RAID level migration. If you decide to add the second drive, you have your choice of treating the drives individually, or configuring a single RAID 0 or 1 volume. You can also buy a version with a single 2 TB drive loaded (CS-WX2.0/1D) and a 2 TB CloudStor Pro model (CS-WV2.0/1D) that is built on the LinkStation Pro Duo ("WVL") hardware platform, which has a 1.6 GHz Marvell 88F6282 Kirkwood and 256 MB of RAM. This model comes with one Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 1 TB (ST31000528AS) loaded, leaving the other slot empty. 600 MHz Marvell 88F6281 Kirkwood SoC with 128 MB of RAM. Or you can think of it as a Pogoplug device that supports two built-in 3.5" SATA drives, which also supports SMB file sharing without having to load the PogoDrive client software on machines that want to reach its shares via SMB network browsing.Įither way you think of it, the CS-WX1.0/1D model Buffalo sent for review has the same hardware platform as the aforementioned LinkStation Duo, i.e. You can think of it as a Buffalo LinkStation Duo "WXL" series NAS with reduced feature set, plus standard Pogoplug features. The CloudStor is a mash-up of a standard NAS and Pogoplug "personal cloud" device. The Buffalo CloudStor has been added to the NAS Charts.
