OK I bought this for convinience, was fooled by the price. Working it on the network was not easy, it was not visible on the network from the start. Maybe there is something wrong with the drive. I mean it happens now and then, after all, I do know what I am doing around my network.
So I went go a replacement. After hours working on it, 3 of them with buffalo tech so called tech support on the phone, my frustration boiled up. If you want an external drive, by all means good and dandy, if you want it networked like it is advertised, go somewhere else. I ended up building a NAS server. Save yourself the headache.

Not the standard firewire cable, so can’t be daisy chained. will require you to buy a new cable. Buy another drive.

I had an “expert” hook it up so I can’t say how easy/difficult that was, but once it was up and running, it works like a dream. All I have to do is plug it into my computer — I back up once a month — and away it goes backing up what has been added and changed. I don’t have to do anything except turn it on and off. The rest is automatic.

It does what it says it will do. And that is huge today with the way ads are exaggerated and plain false. Really good backup device, you ought to have one, ’cause you know what happens to computers, and then all is lost. 4 stars because nothing’s perfect.

Works great…copied everything to it for a big backup of my computer and all my portable HDs….all my music, videos, photos.
I’ll never fill it up.
