Buffalo LS-W1.0TGL/R1 LinkStation Pro Duo 1TB Network Attached Storage
The Pro Duo is a 2-drive NAS solution that can be configured in RAID 0 for performance or RAID 1 for redundant storage. If one drive fails, the other still has a copy of
the data. As an Active Directory client the Pro Duo can integrated into any business network and Web Access makes remote file access easy!

I purchased this unit so I could set up a small NAS at home to allow my Windows XP desktop to share files with my Windows 7 desktop. First and foremost this unit isn't compatible with Windows 7 and there are no drivers available from the vendor - nor are their plans for any drivers from the vendor to support Windows 7.
Second, I couldn't even get XP to see the device. I take that back - part of the install process sees the unit but then fails and never finishes installing. I contacted the vendor and they couldn't resolve the issue. Unit was returned the very next day. |
Software not compatable with Vista 64 bit

Great product, included software is awesome, but not compatable with 64 bit Vista. Loaded it on an XP computer on the network and it works great. I can use Windows backup on my Vista machine by accessing the drive directly through the network (enter the IP address). Buffalo is not concerned about the compatability issues, and will not offer software alternative. They did help me access the drive through IE interface.
Fast shipping, great price, great features. I have limited technical skills, so I wish I would have known about the incompatability with 64 bit Vista. |

NOTE: If you want to use this unit in RAID 1 mode (mirroring) then you only get 500G of storage. Otherwise this is a great unit; I especially like the Auto on/off feature--the unit turns itself off when there's no computer with the NAS Navigator software installed on the network. Very cool, very green. Anyway, with RAID 0 and the SATA drives it's much faster and much quieter than my current LINKSTATION, which I've had for years. Recommended. |

What You Should Know

What is RAID?
RAID is an acronym first defined back in 1987 to describe a redundant array of
inexpensive disks, a technology that allowed computer users to achieve high
levels of storage reliability from low-cost PC hard disk drives, via the
technique of arranging the devices into an array for fail-safe redundancy.
"RAID" is now used as an umbrella term for computer data storage schemes that
can divide and replicate data among multiple hard disk drives. The different
schemes/architectures are named by the word RAID followed by a number, as in
RAID 0, RAID 1, etc. RAID's various designs involve two key elements: increased
data reliability or increased input/output performance. When multiple physical
disks are set up to use RAID technology, they are said to be in a RAID array.
This array distributes data across multiple disks, but the array is seen by the
computer user and operating system as one single disk. RAID can be set up to
serve several different purposes.
Organizing disks into a redundant array decreases the total usable storage
capacity. For instance, a 2-disk RAID 1 array loses half of the total capacity
that would have otherwise been available using both disks independently, and a
RAID 5 array with several disks loses the capacity of one whole disk. Other
types of RAID arrays are arranged so that they are faster to write to and read
from than a single disk.
There are various combinations of these
configurations giving different trade-offs and benefits of protection against
data loss, capacity, and speed. RAID levels 0, 1, and 5 are the most commonly
found, and cover most of the typical requirements.
- RAID 0 (striped disks) distributes data
across several disks in a way that gives improved speed at any given instant. If
one disk fails, however, all of the data on the array will be lost, as there is
neither parity nor mirroring.
- RAID 1 mirrors the contents of the
disks, making a 1:1 (1 to 1) ratio real-time backup. The contents of each disk
in the array are identical to that of every other disk in the array.
- RAID 3 uses a striped set with
dedicated parity or bit interleaved parity or byte level parity. This
mechanism provides fault tolerance similar to RAID 5. However, because the strip
across the disks is a lot smaller than a file system block, reads and writes to
the array perform like a single drive with a high linear write performance. If
one drive fails, the performance doesn't change.
- RAID 5 (striped disks with parity)
combines three or more disks in a way that protects against data loss of any one
disk. The storage capacity of the array is reduced by the capacity of the one
disk (all disks are of equal size).
- RAID 6 (striped disks with dual parity)
can recover from the loss of two disks.
- RAID 10 (or 1+0) uses both striping and
mirroring. ("01" or "0+1" is sometimes distinguished from "10" or "1+0": a
striped set of mirrored subsets and a mirrored set of striped subsets are both
valid, but distinct, configurations.)
