Geek deals: $149.99 for this 2TB NAS from Buffalo

Buffalo NAS

If you are going to store 2TB of stuff, it has to be accessible. External hard drives are great, but they work with one computer. Their USB / Firewire / eSATA connections are reasonably quick but they are limited. If you have a lot of data and more than one computer, not to mention, more than one user, than what you needed is networked storage.

We might have the cheap deal on the storage device that you’ve been searching for. The Buffalo Linkstation Live 2TB NAS offers a ton of space on-the-cheap, but that’s not the big deal with device (after all, a standard 3.5-inch 2TB hard drive goes for about $120 these days). This Linkstation is such a good deal because it’s a single-drive NAS. Simply connect this device to your network and you’ll be able to access all your files from any device that’s on the network.

This NAS device is also DLNA-certified, comes equipped with a Bit Torrent client, and an iTunes server as well. That’s a lot of functionality for a cheap price. And in addition to your network-based home connection, you can also access all your files remotely (and securely), including from your iPhone, iPad, or Android device. This means you’ll be able to upload and access documents anywhere.

Not bad for about $30 more than a barebones 2TB disk, right?
