I too got a 300gb version.

I didn't realise before bringing home that you can add additional usb drives onto the back of it, increasing the storage available on your network.

It also shares USB based printers :-)

(sorry if both these had been mentioned previously in this thread)

Doesn't share All-in-one style printers/scanners/whatever, just tried my Dell 922 and no joy at all.

Okay, I work at Staples (not FOR Staples!)

300gb sku: 380484
200gb sku: 380482

If you go into any store they should be able to find your nearest for you. If you're really lucky they may be able to get it transferred to your local store, though this is not generally the case.

Hope this helps

good find whirly. i'm picking up the last one from my local store tonight. i want to use it with the new buffalo linktheater I'm wondering whether this device has DLNA support, which is supposed to allow this to work like the 'linkstation' NAS drives. I guess I'll find out soon enough.

On the same topic, my Buffalo Linkstation works with my Pinnacle ShowCenter 1000G, so all of our films are on the Linkstation and no PC processor power is taken up that way, as it doesn't use the PC at all.

This is because Buffalo Linktheaters use Pinnacle ShowCenter hardware inside them.

No print server can I believe, you can probably get the printer functions working but I have never found any cheap form of sharing a scanner

Got a 200MB one - thanks. Quite a nifty bit of kit - and very quiet.
I would have liked a 300GB one - but no stock - but when a good deal on a USB device comes along, I can just piggy-back it on this one if I need more storage.
