Storage / Re: Buffalonas blocked by browser for an untrusted certificate

« Last post by marco3253 on Today at 02:43:55 am »

It would appear that the second browser is set to not allow HTTP connections, only HTTPS.

They're not different browsers, it's Safari on a Macbook. I tried also with Chrome but the results are the same.
What change from first test to the second one it's the customer (different NAS different Router different ISP).
On the App for iPhone it's working, so it's something related to http connections, maybe the App talks on another port.

There is not official support for this? The NAS is new.

Storage / Re: LS441DE Not Finishing Boot - Help

« Last post by ntracing on January 21, 2019, 09:34:04 pm »

One of the first things I tried after it failed was took out all the drives and cleaned it all out...  I may try again and give it a closer inspection, but it is strange that it was working fine before I shut it down while on vacation, then came back to this problem...   Not sure what I want to do... kills me to think about buying another chassis for one drive bay... if it only has such a short warranty...

hmmm.

That makes a little more sense in terms of the boot failing, It's probably hanging because it detects the drive but hangs forever trying to read/initialize it or something like that.

It sounds like there could be something wrong with that bay. I've never had that happen so I don't have much advice on how to troubleshoot. I'd recommend:

physically unplug the device for a couple of minutes and try again (if you haven't already)
grab a flashlight and see if you can see any issues with that connector.
try blowing out the connector with a can of that compressed air duster

No longer under warranty... only 90 days...

Storage / Re: Buffalo TeraStation TS5400R Hard Drive Capacity Support

« Last post by mjrgroup on January 21, 2019, 07:42:31 pm »

I wanted to provide a short update on the amount of RAM and the Terastation's ability to accept more.

The TS5400R comes with a total of 2GB of Hynix DDR3 1333MHz 9-9-9 RAM in one SO-DIMM. (Model # is H5TQ2G83CFR-H9C https://www.skhynix.com/eolproducts.view.do?pronm=DDR3+SDRAM&srnm=H5TQ2G83CFR&rk=19&rc=computing)

I successfully replaced the SO-DIMM with a Samsung 4GB DDR3 1600MHz SO-DIMM (Model # M471B5273DH0-CK0; https://www.samsung.com/semiconductor/dram/module/M471B5273DH0-CK0/)

The Samsung 4GB 1600 RAM works perfectly fine on my unit (TS5400R running 4x 8TB WD Red SATA drives in RAID 10), with the latest firmware as of 21 January 2019! I shut down the unit, installed the RAM and instantly saw my memory usage go down from 9% to ~4% at idle, so I presume it's seeing all 4GB. Incidentally, from the advanced web GUI, when I click the info drop down, it used to display the GB of RAM, but now after a recent firmware update it just shows a percentage of utilization. I guess Buffalo thought owners had no need to see the full amount of RAM the system uses? That's silly and I would like to see the total RAM available brought back.

In the future, as I experiment with newer, higher capacity (12TB+) drives in the Terastation, I'll keep this thread updated.

I will say that, whether I continue to buy Buffalo NAS appliances in the future or not, will depend on Buffalo's continued ability to accept higher capacity drives without placing limits. For example, this is why I no longer use the Linkstation. So far I am very satisfied with the Terastation TS5400R.

Storage / Buffalonas.com hangs

« Last post by Madgeniusmusic on January 21, 2019, 05:40:08 pm »

Hi

My family are unable to connect to my Linkstation via buffalonas.com as the website hangs whenever they try and eventually times out.

Any idea how I can solve this?

Thanks in advance

Is the device still under warranty?

I booted the system with #4 drive removed and then tried a hot install of the brand new drive. 
The system does a "Disk Scan" job and disk 4 shows "Failed"
In the drives menu I tried "Rediscover Disk" (Only Option) and it still only shows Disc 4 as failed.
This is the same with the original drive and the brand new drive.   

Other ideas? 

Thanks

Hi Guys and thank you for the answers.
I didn't forget to reply to you, i was just taking some days to make some tests.

I guess the certificate should be released from buffalonas.com website, because it's the website where i'm connecting to, then there is the redirect. Anyway, i tried but there is no "https" at the beginning of the string.
This is a video of what's happening. The first working is relative to the customer1, installed 3 years ago still working with no problem.
The customer 2 as you can see i'm unable to connect, also with different browsers.
The configuration on the router is correct, the prove of this is that the APP on the iPhone is working.

What should I do?

Here's the video on youtube: https://youtu.be/qeFyIFGyGsg
