The Buffalo LinkStation LS421DE ships in a red and white box. The front lists five key features and claims to offer speeds of up to 80 MB/s.
The back of the box lists these five key features again, this time explaining each one in much more detail and showing a typical usage/set-up of the LinkStation in a domestic household.
The packaging is much the same as any router or networked device, with the device protected between two Styrofoam blocks.
The first thing we found after opening the box was the Quick-Start guide and Installation CD.
Included with the Buffalo LinkStation is a Power Transformer, two Power Cables (one is for UK sockets and the other for European) as well as a long Ethernet cable.
