Buffalo Cloudstor 1TB Network Drive Powered by Pogoplug Unboxing & First Look Linus Tech Tips

The video presents a quick unboxing and first look at the Buffalo Cloudstor 1TB Network Drive powered by Pogoplug. Linus begins by dismissing the idea that unboxings are inherently stupid, then swiftly removes the packaging to reveal the device and accompanying accessories. He highlights the included items, notably a high quality Ethernet cable and the 12V 4A power adapter, and notes the device’s two bay form factor with the ability to add a second drive for expanded storage. The unboxing moves into hardware exploration, showing the internal drive, a Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 1TB unit, and the procedure to remove and replace the drive, including how the front panel clips in and how the back hosts power in and network interfaces. Linus also walks through the front LEDs, lack of a front power switch, and the back panel features such as the power switch, Kensington lock, Ethernet port, USB port, and a function button. The software experience is touched upon, describing the cloud-based access that lets you stream music, photos, videos, and documents to home computers or mobile devices, with cross‑platform support for iOS, Android, Blackberry, and Windows or Mac PCs. Finally, the video covers the basic capabilities like RAID options, JBOD, and remote access via the cloud, while noting that there is no visible onboard RAID configuration in the initial setup and that expanding storage is as simple as adding a second drive. The closing segment promises a follow-up to review features more deeply and encourages viewers to subscribe for more unboxings and tech content.
