Adding an External Hard Drive

The LinkStation includes a USB port and you can connect an external drive or USB storage device to this port. For
external drives, Buffalo USB drives are recommended.
Connect only one device to a USB port. Some external drives with automatic power-on doesn't turn on
automatically when connected to the LinkStation. Use their manual switch to turn them on. Be sure to connect only
one bus-powered drive at a time. If there is insufficient bus power for your USB drive, connect its AC adapter.
