Comments about Buffalo 2TB LinkStation Quad Network Hard Drive:
My unit is toast and still under warranty but that means nothing because the replacement unit that I received from Buffalo was also defective.
I lost data that I could not recover simply because the unit locked up on me.
The company was completely unhelpful.
The amount of time that was wasted on trying to fix this and deal with the Buffalo tech support is the worst part.

Comments about Buffalo 2TB LinkStation Quad Network Hard Drive:
This network hard drive is fantastic, as it backs-up anything from data files to system files. This relieves my worry that all would be lost with hard drive crash. Works right along with me!

Comments about Buffalo 2TB LinkStation Quad Network Hard Drive:
I'm using thedevice for one of my clients photograph storage needs. Access to the device from the Internet is a great feature, upload and download files. One problem I have run into is that when copying a large amount of data at one time, not all data seems to move over. I don't get any errors on the copy, but some folders are empty. This is copying from mac pro desktop with 9Gb ram to nas over 100mb Ethernet connection. I may need to call tech support to find out why this happens. Over all a good buy for the money.
