Scalable Solution
RAID Modes and Diskless Enclosure Model
This LS441DE is equipped with four internal drive bays. Along with the normal operating mode, installation of four hard disk drives provides you with four additional RAID modes (RAID 0/1/5/10) to select from according to your needs, for protection of system backup data, work data, photo and video data, and other important data from unexpected drive failure.
Quick Install Drives
Hard drives are easily accessible via the front panel.
Advanced Features
Sleep Mode
The LinkStation features a Timer ON/OFF function that allows the power to be switched on only at predetermined times. This both enhances convenience in using the NAS and conserves energy, and prevents wasted electricity from forgetting to switch the power off. The reduction in wasteful power consumption after office hours, on days off, or anytime the drive isn't needed also reduces CO2 emissions and helps the Earth's environment.
iTunes® Server

*Supports playback of files on up to five computers and transfers to iPods.
*Supported formats : Audio data (MP3/M4A/M4P)
USB Printer Server
Share basic printing support to client PC and Mac computers on your network. Connect one printer at a time to your LinkStation and share basic printing functions with anyone on your network.
*Mounts as a shared printer in the LinkStation .
*No ink or status reporting from the printer to clients.
NAS Navigator
Easily find and connect to your LinkStation using the NAS Navigator tool. NAS Navigator finds all NAS devices attached to your network, making it easier to manage multiple NAS devices.
"BitTorrent" Support
LinkStation NAS System includes uTorrent, a powerful BitTorrent client for easy torrent file management. Manage P2P file transfers directly from your LinkStation without the use of a dedicated PC. You can download and share files directly from your LinkStation and you can manage downloads from anywhere using the simple Web-based download manager.
Use the Bittorrent Remote app to manage downloads when you are away from the computer

* App for Android only
USB3.0 External Hard Drive Support

No reformatting is required for external HDD & SDXC
