Do you really like Technology ES Buffalo TeraStation ?

First thing to not for anyone looking for hdmi cable, DO NOT got spend 30-100 bucks at bestbuy/walmart for your dinky cable. You get the same quality and reliability in these for 1/4 the price. Any big box store will sell you the same cable with a brand name on it that is just a waste of money. I ordered 3 of these just so that I could have extras around the house when needed, and the 6 feet is more than enough for most people of you have your home theater all in one place.

Details about 320 Buffalo Live LinkStation

I have also experienced the noise and very slow speed others have mentioned. Additionally, the product has prematurely failed. Turning off PCast did silence the clicking noise, but this forced me to use another drive for my shared iTunes library. To its credit, the drive was able to stream HDTV (a recorded transport stream of about 10GB per hour), but for general file copying, this drive is very, very s-l-o-w.

My main complaint with this product is the fact that it completely FAILED less than 2 years after purchase. I had thought I was extending the life of the product by turning off PCast (constant read/write) but to no avail. The LED now blinks 6 times, indicating irreparable disk failure, emits a painful groaning noise, and will not connect to any computer.

I have also experienced the same, slow, nearly useless advice from the customer “service” personnel. Forget about ever reaching them by phone – their M.O. is a delayed, cryptic e-mail if anything at all.

I will never buy another Buffalo product. I bought this product because technically it looked good on paper – in spite of its ugly enclosure design. But while the company may have some good ideas, their execution is pitiful.
