EASY SCHEDULED BACKUP
DriveStation Duo is perfect for backing up your important files.

DriveStation Duo features eleven licenses of NovaBACKUP Buffalo Edition for Windows® PCs and servers (one server and ten workstations) and Time Machine support for backing up Mac computers.
FLEXIBLE STORAGE AND REDUNDANCY
DriveStation Duo provides users the flexibility to easily maximize capacity or protect their data using RAID redundancy.- RAID 0 combines all drives into a single array offering maximum storage capacity with no redundancy.
- RAID 1 offers maximum redundancy by mirroring both drives. Data is automatically duplicated, so that if one drive fails, the data is kept safe on the other. Buffalo recommends RAID 1 for all devices using two hard drives.
HOT SWAPPABLE HARD DRIVES
DriveStation Duo's hot swap feature allows a user to replace a hard drive in the event of failure without powering down the device. Simply remove the defective drive, insert the new drive and the data rebuilds while still being available to clients on the network with zero downtime.
BUFFALO TOOLS
Buffalo Tools is a feature-rich suite of software included with the Buffalo DriveStation Duo. Any or all of the following components of Buffalo Tools may be installed on Windows PCs.- Buffalo's Backup Utility is a featured backup software for Windows PCs and can be used to back up one or multiple computers with a single Buffalo external hard drive.
- eco Manager is an energy efficiency tool used to conserve energy and reduce battery consumption by regulating the power usage of the hard drive, cutting power to the drive during extended periods of inactivity.
- TurboPC includes two components to enhance file transfer performance with external hard drives. It also includes TurboCopy which provides additional system adjustments to increase performance substantially.
- SecureLock software for Windows® provides complete control of the data encryption on your Buffalo external hard drive, providing password protection and software data encryption.
The DriveStation Duo is a quick and easy solution to store, access, back up and transfer your music, photos, videos and other files. Get maximum storage with the increased capacity of two spanning hard drives or the extra security of automatic mirroring in one affordable box.
