Purpose-built personal cloud for small offices

The LinkStation SoHo 720 is a two-bay desktop NAS that ships with two 4 TB hard drives pre-installed in a RAID 1 array, giving 4 TB of usable, redundant storage. A hexa-core 1.3 GHz processor and 2 GB of memory handle backups, media streaming and file sharing for workgroups that want a subscription-free private cloud. The closed firmware limits third-party attack surface while SSL encryption protects data in transit.

Single 2.5GbE port sets the network ceiling

One RJ-45 port running at up to 2.5 GbE is the only wired network interface, so aggregate throughput cannot exceed that link speed. Buyers whose workflows demand 10 GbE aggregation, link failover or multi-gigabit switching will need a different platform.

Two USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports

The front and rear USB sockets accept external drives or a UPS for direct backup jobs and safe shutdown without involving the network. No PCIe slot or M.2 connector is present, so cache acceleration or additional network cards cannot be added later.

Questions about this item

What usable capacity does the 8TB RAID 1 setup provide in daily use?

The two 4TB drives are configured in RAID 1, giving 4TB of usable space with full mirroring for redundancy.

How fast can the 2.5GbE port actually move data on my network?

The single 2.5GbE RJ-45 port supports up to 2.5 Gbps, limited by the IEEE 802.3bz standard and your switch or router capabilities.

What drive sizes and mounting style fit the two internal bays?

The unit has two 3.5-inch SATA bays; the included 4TB drives occupy both slots, so expansion requires replacing one or both drives.
