Jeffrey has a Terastation II that he uses as a system backup storage device for a project he works on. It is just better than having a bricked unit -
Two hard drives replaced in two years The whole unit replaced once Abysmally slow (even on a direct gigabit connection from the server to the unit, which is the only way we could obtain any reasonable performance). If even one of the hard drives fails, it severely restricts the configuration of the unit (i.e., cannot create new RAID arrays). If you need a NAS device, pick another vendor.

I have a Buffalo NAS, and it sits in the loft as it bricked itself during a firmware upgrade. Before it died, the performance on it was pretty rubbish - it was a terastation of some form. _____ From: David Lum [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 22 December 2010 15:27 To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Buffalo - was Re: Home RAID enclosure recommendations? The issue I have with Buffalo NAS is I can't treat it like a normal server share as far as NTFS permissions..

Sorry to jump this thread, but speaking of Buffalo NAS - does anyone have any good information (besides the Buffalo doc and website) on how to get an LS-QL Linkstation Quad to work in an Active Directory environment as a shared target for users to connect to via their domain login? I set it up using their doc to put in the domain name (for the workgroup), DC's IP address, DNS IP, made an open share on it that users are supposed to be able to map to so they get added to the access list and still couldn't connect to it. I searched their forums and knowledge base then called support and they were less than helpful. The guy said that there's an issue with Windows Server 2008 and it's the OS's fault(even though it doesn't work from an XP workstation, 2000 server or 2008 server), then said that we have network issues which is why we can't access the drive from the server or any other client on the lan. This morning the thing isn't even pingable so I can't access it via the web interface...

I have Cavalry USB 2.0/eSATA RAID1 externals drive and being just external SATA it's just as fast as an internal SATA drive. If eSATA is OK just do a web search for "eSATA RAID1 external" I have Buffalo NAS at clients as just extra storage and both solutions work well. Dave From: Jim Slattery [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, December 22, 2010 5:57 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: OT: Home RAID enclosure recommendations? I recently started taking a lot of photos and videos, and I'm realizing that my current storage solution at home isn't going to cut it very soon. Does anyone have a recommendation for a good price/performance RAID enclosure (or populated solution) for home use? I'd like to have 3-4TB available if possible. Thanks, and Happy Holidays!
