I am an AV Integrator and frequently use this product as a DNLA server for a wide variety of installations including AV receivers and Sonos music systems, I even have one at home. Works right out of the box without an extreme amount of IT knowledge. The IP interface is a little jargon filled as it can be used for a huge variety of backup tasks but as a music server I can’t give it anything but praise. Cheap, quiet, solidly built. Thanks Buffalo.

Am currently returning the second unit as both the first unit and second unit had one of the hard drives crash within 24 hours of setup. Setup was relatively easy, however.

Had numerous issues with the device. First folders keep disappearing then there are buffering issues while streaming to a DLNA device. Support is one of the worst ever. I have requested for an RMA and its been 15 days and they are yet to ship the replacement. Please stay away !

I had originally wanted to go with the Seagate BlackArmor unit but it was out of stock and after reading a number of reviews decided to go with the Buffalo unit. I’m very glad I did. Despite what some other reviewers have indicated, this current model works wonderfully and even in a mirrored raid has good response times. Of course the initial process of backing up and copying over data took a while but honestly, when running something in a raid configuration I’m not really expecting thumbdrive or SSD transfer rates. Considering it was transferring most of the data via wireless and in a raid configuration, it was fairly quick (approximately 5 hours from 4 systems simultaneously and a total of 200GB). Some may complain about this but I think those folks are expecting the unrealistic idea of copying from an internal 7200 RPM SATA to another internal 7200 RPM SATA. The reality is this was going over a wireless network and writing to 2 physical drives, not just one. So from my perspective this was a totally acceptable and quick data transfer. Reading from it is far quicker since it only needs to access a single drive for reading purposes and I can stream audio with no issues. I don’t currently have any video to stream other than a handful of music videos that are scaled for 1024 x 768 and they steam without issues as well. All in all, a great purchase for the price and I already know that Buffalo stands behind their product. I know a few corp and state agencies that regularly use Buffalo NAS’s in RAID for system wide backups, etc.

This opinion is based on 3 weeks of usage with this product.
My current network has different versions of windows, a PS3 and other gadgets.
I didn’t have time to try all its features. What I had tried:
- Install (no problems) – map a fixed IP on it, configure if you want raid 0 or 1 and its done.
- Backup (manually) – works fine, 1Gb files takes 30 secs do be upload to NAS using network. (the same for the notebooks and PC).
- Media Center – Configure, restart media center…
– PS3 works fine for movies and songs, therefore, it is terrible for pictures (I’m not sure if the problem is with PS3 or the NAS).
I’ll update as long I try to use other funcionalities.
