Buffalo LS220DB NAS Firmware 1.63 for Mac OS

Added and Modified Features:

- Improved recognition accuracy when connecting USB drives.

Bug Fixes:

- Fixed a bug where access restriction settings were disabled when restarting the LinkStation after configuring domain user access restrictions for the shared folders. If this occurs, settings will not be restored even if the firmware update is applied. In such a case, configure the access restrictions again after the firmware update.
- Modified to deal with Samba programming vulnerabilities (CVE-2014-0178 and CVE-2015-0240).
- Fixed a bug where a backup job could not be added if the backup target folder contains full-width spaces in its name.
- Fixed a bug where a shared folder, user, or group could not be created if its name contains specific symbols.

About Network-Attached Storage Updates:

Upgrading the Network-Attached Storage (NAS) firmware can improve the system’s overall performance, stability, and security by adding various fixes for related issues, enhancing existing features (or adding support for new ones), or updating different applications.

Due to the high number of NAS manufacturers, as well as network storage types, installing a new firmware might not be always as easy as it appears – and not too safe either. Failing to perform a software update can cause serious malfunctions to the network storage.

So, before you even consider applying this release, carefully read the installation guide and initiate the process only when you have understood and completely familiarized yourself with all the steps.

Moreover, it would be best if you take into account using a UPS unit (Uninterruptible Power Supply) to perform this task, because no power disruption should affect the upgrade.

With all these aspects in mind, after you have read the installation guide, click the download button to apply this firmware version to your NAS. Remember to check back with our website in order to stay up to speed with the latest releases.
