The Buffalo web site indicates that the performance speed has been increased greatly in the 2nd generation Linkstations over the 1st gen. Speed was an issue cited by numerous reviews I read. Can someone point me to a source/article/review that discusses what was changed/added/modified that resulted in the increased speed. I really want to get product (possibly Buffalo) for backup, media streaming and generally getting my home ready for the leap in home entertainment. That the Linkstations are LPNA compliant is a big plus. Also, I just saw that HP's SmartMedia server is now out with its next gen.
