I've been having trouble with this TeraStation Pro.
I basically put in 4 x 2 TB drives in a RAID10.
About every 3 months I lose a drive. I've been using Seagate 7,200 rpm drives.
I pull the bad drives out and use it in a PC without trouble even in diagnostics.
The NAS passes its own diagnostics as well.
But it takes this Buffalo over 2 weeks to rebuild the array!
This is absolutely driving me nuts! I used the thing to prevent this from happening.
I can't access it during a rebuild at all except the web interface.
This defeats the entire purpose of even having the stupid thing.
I thought at least with RAID10 I could still access it at lower speeds, but that is not the case.
The problem of it corrupting seems to happen when I copy extremely large files onto it from a defective hard drive. Usually trying to rescue a users files. Files like a backup PST, and ISO, etc...
What would be your advice for alternatives?
