Third, it is so SLOW that I can't use it. It is slow to start, slow to restart, slow to access data. I would never purchase anything made by Buffalo ever again. For the money that I spent, I could have easily purchased a small PC and used it as a server, for not much more I could put a RAID in the server or purchase a backup drive. from Amazon.com I have mine in RAID 5 as it comes from the factory preset. I stream music and video with ease keep my massive collection of photos (Amateur Photographer)on it. I have had a bad experience on another machine with RAID 5, so I was happy when I found I could plug an external hard drive into one of the usb ports and set the Terastation to automatically backup selected folders. I am in heaven with my precious photos automatically backed up and easily accessible from anywhere in the world there is web access. from Amazon.com I have purchased four Buffalo TeraStation products (for my work place) and am happy with all of them. Upon pricing another, I saw some mixed reviews. from Amazon.com I've used Terastations from Buffalo in their various incarnations from the origanal TeraStation to the latest 2TB Raid 5 Array. In my experience, it's not a question of if they will fail, but when. from Amazon.com In RAID 5, one bad drive is fine but two is a crisis. In theory, that's highly statistically improbably. Finally, after multiple more emails Buffalo answered with "we'll send you an entire new unit." Fine, I'll just swap out the drives I need. So, before the unit arrives I start backup up my data from the TeraStation. from Amazon.com I find it amazing that the average review score at the time of this writing is 1.5 stars! I bought my Buffalo Terastation 2TB about a year ago and it's been wonderful. Granted, I haven't tried any of the fancy media features, everything I have done has worked great. from Amazon.com I now have two terastations sitting on the shelf collecting dust. I bought the terastation live 2tb because of the attractive price. from Amazon.com I've had this product for about a month now and so far it's performed as advertised. 1.36tb at raid 5 is damn nice. from Amazon.com Well, in the space of about 2 weeks, I have gone through 1 Terastation Live (1TB), and FOUR Terastation 2TB units, after they failed, one by one. One of them refused to work RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX! from Amazon.com This is the 2nd Buffalo product I've purcahsed, and I couldn't be less satisfied with their products. I am however, trying to achieve a specific result - music streaming. from Amazon.com
