4.0 out of 5 stars Robust hardware. Not for the technologically faint-of-heart and DLNA not great..., March 23, 2011
Vine Customer Review of Free Product ( What's this?)
4.5 year update: Still works fine; just replaced both 1TB HDDs with 2x 2TB hard drives (original RAID 1 array was at 78% capacity). No issues with the rebuild or restoring the data (and now enjoying the headroom of 27% capacity after the upgrade); just be prepared for the long time it will take the full RAID array to rebuild.

3 year update: Still works fine; part of my daily data back-up plan.

2 year update: Still running strong.

Seven month update: rating change to 4 stars (from 5 stars) for due to support web site usability for firmware and utility software updating (the utility software is for the Windows GUI environment; the firmware is for the NAS device itself). Solid 5 stars for backup and network data access.

As part of a recent Windows re-install on my desktop computer, I checked for updates to the firmware and user interface utilities. It was relatively easy to find that newer versions of both were available on Buffalo's support... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Solid NAS for RAID1 backup and file streaming!, January 26, 2011
By 
Verified Purchase( What's this?)
I purchased this NAS for a mirrored backup of my data and to stream pictures, music and videos to a PS3 and a couple of laptops. It works great for these tasks. Setup was easy. I gave the NAS a static IP address, updated the firmware, changed the drives from RAID0 to RAID1 and setup a media server. It only takes a few clicks to change the RAID configuration through the web interface, but the actual re-sync can take hours. You can still use the drive during this process. It took 95 minutes to transfer 135GB to the NAS using a gig network. It bounced between 20-30 MB/sec, but the overall average was about 1.4 GB/min. Single file transfer rates are much faster, less than 30 seconds for a 1GB movie. That's plenty fast for me. Noise levels were on par with two hard drives spinning at full speed. The unit is silent at idle.

The PS3 and two laptops on my network (all wireless) see the NAS without any issues. Media Player and iTunes stream music from the drive without any lag. The... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent UPNP/DLNA Video Server, March 4, 2011
Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: BUFFALO LinkStation Pro Duo 2-Bay 4 TB (2 x 2 TB) RAID High Performance Network Attached Storage (NAS) - LS-WV4.0TL/R1 (Personal Computers)
I purchased the Buffalo Technology LinkStation Pro Duo 4 TB (2 x 2 TB) RAID NAS to stream videos to my home Linux settop boxes and remotely to my Linux touchscreen netbook via VPN. This LinkStation is DLNA certified so I felt very confident it would work with those UPNP/DLNA clients.

Pros:
- About the footprint of a small toaster and half the height.
- Cool temp and quiet operation.
- Consumes just 45 watts so a UPS on it will last a long time.
- Gigabit ethernet (my home net is Gigabit).
- Web Interface does almost everything.
- Preconfigured for Raid 0 (optimized for speed) and the XFS filesystem.
- Lots of built-in software to support squeeze and even a MySql server.
- Excellent streaming performance with Boxee Box and XBMC.

Cons:
- Drive noise is sometimes audible.
- Can't be initially setup without Proprietary client (see below).
- Settings not restored after a drive check.
- Start up... Read more
