It’s not the latest. Nor is it the greatest. But if you’re on the market for a budget NAS, $40 is hard to beat. (Shipping looks to run about $8 – $15.) This refurb Buffalo LinkStation Live incorporates a single 320GB drive and is supported by a 90 day warranty. Assuming the unit is similar to an earlier version I owned back in 2005, the Linkstation is powered by Linux, great for tweakability, and supports a variety of media serving and networking options out of the box. (Though, hopefully with a quieter fan.) At the very least, you’ll be able to use this networked drive as part of a backup strategy and/or to centralize an iTunes collection. Once you’ve picked up the LinkStation Live, head on over to Buffalo Tech’s support site for the latest device firmware and desktop utilities. Thanks for the tip, Jon!

Thanks Dave, I just ordered one. BTW, $8 FedEx ground.
Great deal, Dave. Just ordered one myself.
I “ordered” 2 before I told Dave, thus ‘the world’. I say ordered like that since I’m a bit concerned that their website isn’t reporting stock real-time. We’ll see. Fingers crossed.
There is a shot this would be used as a tivosever, but not 100% sure.
Cnet has a review. http://reviews.cnet.com/external-hard-drives/buffalo-linkstation-live-nas/4505-3190_7-32308476.html?tag=mncol;lst
I see it as a deal for the enclosure, let alone a 320gb NAS.
Doh! Listed as unavailable now. Dave, please page me while I’m watching NFL playoff games next time…..:^
