### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Great Buffalo storage device.
  

*by E***D on Reviewed in the United States on May 18, 2013*

I have had my unit for 9 months and its been working great.  The web interface is easy to configure and the unit comes with Nova backup software that will help you schedule copy and back up jobs.  I am really satisfied; the first unit we received failed during the first 4 days a drive went bad in it.  This machine makes it very obvious when something like this happens blinking the blue display red and also putting a red light on next to the drive that failed.  The most non-technical person can quickly assess what is going on.  It emails reports if you want to give you status if there is a failure or if it fails something on the monthly diagnostics.If setup properly you really don't have to do much interaction with the device; it will notify you if something needs attention; having dual nics is also nice; but for what I do; it was a bit unnecessary.  I also like the fact that you can back up the NAS to USB hard drives if you want.I would buy it again without regrets.

### ⭐ 1.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    not for the beginner.
  

*by P***X on Reviewed in the United States on June 19, 2015*

This particular unit is very troublesome for a novice. I love Buffalo products, but this one is not for beginners. Lucky for me I've setup multiple buffalo products so when it failed ootb, i knew exactly what to do. I didn't need to send it back to buffalo, it just needed to be reinitialized.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    A decent unit
  

*by M***P on Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 2013*

Have 5 of these. It works. Another one, 2 years old....3 drives went and most data lost. So RAID doesn't necessarily mean that safe and totally backed up. You need a backup of this RAID backup to be safer. Then maybe hard copies on duns as well. If not too much data involved, offsite storage might work. If lots of data, offsite is too pricy.
