    Anybody using a Buffalo LInkstation 220 NAS box?

    I'd like to install a NAS useable on Linux and WIndows 10 (for my wife). The Linkstation 220 looks good, but I'd like to be sure it will work before shelling out euros for it.

    How does Ubuntu mount the files? I'm told it runs Samba and NFS, but both at once?

    Looking at their product page it appears to be samba only.

      I use a D-Link DNS-320L NAS here.

      I have it setup for CIFS/SMB and NFS (it does both). I backup to it every day using BackInTime via NFS. Preserves all file attributes (but not extended attributes which NFS doesn't support anyway). The drives (x2) are formatted Ext4 internally in the device when installed. I don't know how it would go with Windows 10 but I have my Freeview TV satellite box connected to it via CIFS/SMB to access movie files, etc.
