Buffalo does not try to prevent you from peeking inside. There is no security tape or annoying security stickers covering any screws. In fact, the lid is very easy to take off. Remove five screws and pull the cover off.
Inside, one of the most prominent and immediate features is the Power Supply. Unfortunately, there doesn’t seem to be any indication of the Power here, but a device like this doesn’t require much to begin with (it only uses approx 43 watts at full bore).
The motherboard is easy to access. There are only six screws holding it in place and when removed, the motherboard just lifts out.
The back of the motherboard is unexciting.
The other side, on the other hand, is where the meat and potatoes are. First, I do not make a habit of removing the heatsink on devices like this… but from the specifications we know that there is a 1.86 GHz Intel® Atom™ processor D2550 underneath.
The 4GB DIMM is unbranded, but the memory modules are Samsung K4B2G08460.
Ethernet is handled by a pair of Intel® 82574 Gigabit Ethernet Controllers
