Where to get LinkStation Pro Duo 2TB V.3 from ?

[uncleA]

   

Hi,

I have been googling, reading forums, etc... and now I am clueless. I want to get V3 of LinkStation Pro Duo 2TB.

The Buffalo web store does not seem to have 2 TB version. I know some of you guys got it somehow. Can you please let me know where I could get it from? Also, how would I know that I am buying V3? I have read that 2 usb, and printer server feature would be the indicator, but amazon describes it as having 3 (!?!) USB ports, and nothing regarding print server. newegg states that is has 1 USB port, so are other places...

Any advice ?

You can get a v 3 Pro Duo 2TB here

The v3 has a function button and one usb port while the older version one has 2 usb ports and a reset button. Both versions have a print server within the units.

"my LS Pro Duo fits the description (2 usb ports & 3.xx firmware):

Model Name LS-WTGL/R1-V3  - Firmware Version 3.08

and yet I do not have Twonkymedia installed, How do I make that happen?"

 

So does v.3 really have only one USB port or 2?

The v.3 has 2 USB ports and utilizes the 3.xx firmware.

Thanks Dustrega.

At least that had been straighten out.

Does you know where can I get it from? I am close to give up on Buffalo alltogether, as finding it taking me too long...
