Comments about Buffalo 2TB DriveStation Duo External Hard Drive Array:
This is a great drive, it was packed well and easy to set up. The chassis is sturdier than most external drive enclosures, and there is a fan as well as a power button on the rear. It is also very quiet. I did not use any of the included software, just plugged it in and reformatted the drives as NTFS. All in all it is an exceptional value at the price.

Comments about Buffalo 2TB DriveStation Duo External Hard Drive Array:
I use this drive in a RAID 1 configuration to store critical files.
If other USB drives are plugged into the same system, the software cannot configure the drive. Disconnect all USB drives before trying to configure this drive.
Performance seems good.
