User Reviews for Buffalo Technologies TeraStation 1TB NAS

  • Reviewed by: pgyoon

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Raid 5 is supported. Silent.

    Weaknesses: Difficult to exchange the hard drives.

    Overall Evaluation: This is the first Network Attached Storage that I bought.Since this system is 32 bit, the maximum capacity of Terastation is 2 Tera.This unit is near silent except some vibrational noise which is somewhat annoying. Also, it's very difficult to dissemble the unit to exchange the hard drives. There is a wiki site for hacking this unit.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: easy setup and simple to use

    Weaknesses: AD limitations and loudness of system

    Overall Evaluation: Overall you can beat the price on these things, they do alot espeically the fact that they are configured for RAId 5. The system is a bit bulky and combersome and a little loud, but overall I love it, it suits my needs just fine
