Business users BEWARE.......2007-05-26

My client had been using a TeraStation 1Tb as the main file server. It works as advertised, but after 18 months it died, the unit shut itself down and when we restarted it, it can no longer connect. Since it is out of warranty, Buffalo will do nothing for us, NOT EVEN SELL US A REPLACEMENT CORE. They offer no extended warranty, although the support supervisor was kind enough to call Austin HQ with the problem, they still won't budge. So if you are considering using this as the main file server, or any Buffalo product in a crirtical business application, BE WARNED.

Worth it in the end.......2005-12-12

I also had significant performance issues when I first installed this device. It was to be used to store movies (between 1-2gig each). When hooked to my Ethernet Switch, it would take over an hour per movie...WAY too slow for realistic use.

Well, long story short, I upgraded to a Gigabit switch...WOW. I can copy movies in under 3 minutes, not bad for an alomst 2gig file. As a test, I also hooked it via a crossover cable to my PC....just as fast.

Now that my speed problems are fixed, I couldn't be happier. Really is an awsome box if you can get the speed issues resolved.

Large amounts of space, easy enough to use, but SLOWWWWWW.......2005-11-08

The unit is very attractive. At raid 5, the unit has a capacity of around 1.2 TB. You can setup the system to use dhcpd or static ip once you connect to it using the provided utilities. Once you know the ip address of the system, you can configure the system's ip address, workgroup or domain, name of the system, password, users, groups, etc.

It comes default with two shares. \\terastation\info and \\terastation\share, info contains the pdf manual, the installation files for the utilities and the utilities themselves. The "share" share is available to everyone and requires no passwords, which is very insecure, but allows one to start copying stuff to it right off the bat.

The only way to copy stuff from or to it is from the network. You CANNOT attach it locally to your system via USB. The usb is apparently only for attaching external Hard drives to expand the unit or for printers.

Performance: Well, you'd think since it has gigabit, it would allow you to transfer at fast speeds. That is not the case. Our experience was that it would only copy at about 3-5 MB/s over gigabit, even after we attached the unit directly to the back of the computer with a cross over cable. Imagine if you're trying to move your current data from your current storage to this unit, it would take days to transfer 1 TB. Imagine if you wanted to back it up with your tape backup solution, it would take equally long. According to reviews ([...]), it reads faster than it writes, but not by much. I haven't tried copying off this system yet. We're actually going to move to 400GB ide drives in USB 2/firewire enclosures so we can get our data off our current storage and the stuff we've already copied to the NAS. It will then promptly get returned.

Conclusion: If you want large amounts of storage in a NAS box for extremely inexpensive $/GB, this is your solution. If you want speed, then this is certainly not for you.

I'd recommend the Maxtor OneTouch II 300GB or the new 500 gb solution coming out to do local backups. It connects locally to your computer via USB 2 and comes with retrospect backup software. The unit will allow you to keep your data safely backed up. That solution isn't RAID, but it's good to keep your data in two places, and the Maxtor's allow you to get an easy to use solution in place. You can also use it as a drive, like any attachable usb drive. (300 gb has a formatted capacity of 279 GB). Perfect if you own your own small business, work from home, and have no backup solution what-so-ever! At $300, what's your precious data worth? $300 at Fry's Electronics, Shop around! Maxtor has other neat products, check our their website.
