Main Page

Welcome

This community-driven site is geared towards Buffalo Technology/Melco's amazing Network-attached storage (NAS) devices called the Linkstation, Kurobox and Terastation. Notice that this page is totally unrelated to the producer. There are currently several models available, so click on the links on the right to find out which variant you have.

There are several custom firmwares such as Debian, Gentoo, Foonas, and Openlink that will give you unix shell access to your device.

Happy Christmas!

NAS Central would like to wish all its users merry Christmas and a happy new year!

A review of the new Thecus N2200 is up and not looking too good here at smallnetbuilder.com – also linuxdevices.com have a bit of information up about the Synology DS210j.

Do you have a bit of spare time over the festive period? Help us by documenting any useful information you have in the wiki for your manufacturer – thanks!

Kuro-Sheeva Spotted

Mon, 14 Dec 2009 14:59:46

Joining the party of next generation Kirkwood based NAS is the Kuro-Sheeva device. This appears to be essentially the same as a Sheevaplug but with an eSATA port also available. The question is when we can get them in Europe/USA at a reasonable price – hopefully Revolution will stock them (they appear to be available here but with a high mark up!). You can find more information and pictures at kuroutoshikou.com.

New Buffalo Kirkwood Forum

Sun, 06 Dec 2009 23:21:17

Today we added a new forum at the NAS-Central Buffalo Forums for Kirkwood based devices such as the LS-CHL V2 and the LS-XHL. Also there is a new sub-forum for the MV78100 based Terastation III.

We have moved some posts into these new areas to keep things tidy!

NAS-Central Wiki/News Changes

Sun, 06 Dec 2009 20:11:09

To allow for a more centralised and simple method of reporting news to the NAS-Central wikis we have made some changes to the news system for the wiki front pages:

• News from all wikis moved to blog and categorised
• We made a custom RSS feed merger that runs hourly to build the news feed
• Wiki feeds each contain NAS-Central, NAS Community News the and manufacturer specific category for that wiki
• We wrote a MediaWiki plugin that works the way we want it to to display it!
