## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can i backup/upload photos from my iphone? if yes, then does it store the photo in same format(eg.: heic) with exif metadata & same size as in iphone?**
A: Yes, you can backup/upload your iPhone photos with our WebAccess-I app. It does not alter the files in any way.

**Q: "standard drives" does not sound like a nas (iron wolf) rated 24x7 duty drive.  if "standard" desktop model drive, can they be upgraded to nas spec?**
A: Yes, the Buffalo LinkStations use what I would call common home computer drives.
Yes, you can replace those drives with any similar size SATA drives.
But, I see no need as I have five Buffalos running 24/7 on my network, the oldest purchased in 2009, the newest in 2018.
I have had no failures - zero.
If you configure the Buffalo to RAID 1 you have no problem even if a drive dies as they are hot-swap and the system does automatic restore on insertion of a new drive.

**Q: I am reviewing the 16tb 720 & will plug it into my wireless router via ethernet. i have both macs & pcs. is this compatable with mac catalina 10.15.7?**
A: Yes, it should work with that OS>

**Q: Will wireless support expire at any future point in time like Western Digital's mycloud did?**
A: The LinkStation SoHo’s Personal Cloud support and WebAccess do not expire. The LinkStation Soho will work on wireless networks after connecting to the router via ethernet cable..

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Buyer Beware
*by F***S on December 18, 2025*

I purchased this NAS to stream media to my house DLNA equipment, but the SoHo model doesn't support that feature, even though it says it's "DLNA Certified". I would recommend some data network experience to be able to program. It does look like a quality unit, customer support is top notch.
