	Another hardware difference for quite some time was that LinkStations are and were always available with 110V (120V) and 220V (240V) built-in power supplies, while the Kuroboxes until recently only had built-in 110V power supplies. The current Kurobox HG-WR now comes with an external, universal power supply. The Kurobox is still not available with a built-in 220V power supply.

	'''LinkStation''' is the name of a series of [[NAS]] devices from the same company as the [[Kurobox_Hardware_and_Description\|Kurobox]].

The Kurobox actually came into existance when [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melco Buffalo/Melco] was sitting on to many LinkStation spare parts, and decided to flock them off to Linux hackers to get rid of the parts.

-	LinkStations are not intended to be hacked. Since, however, they are mostly build on the same hardware and software platform as the Kuroboxes, they have a lot in common. Not all LinkStation versions have equivalent Kurobox cousins, because Buffalo only sells selected hardware under the Kurobox name. For example, there is a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/~~MIPS~~ MIPS] processor LinkStation HD-HLAN, while all Kuroboxes are based on a [[CPU\|PowerPC processor]]. Still, even the MIPS based LinkStation can in large parts be hacked similar to Kuroboxes.	+	LinkStations are not intended to be hacked.
