I have at this point sent about 5 tickets to Buffalo support, each one have been ignored, except for the one reply that refered me to go to the KB section of Buffalotech sites... early december.. yeah right! I have since sent them questions asking about the European firmware.. silence is the word.
Has anyone else noticed any lagging in the mediaserver feature of the device.
Everytime I start playback of a movie on either my ps3 or the computer from the mediaserver the picture will start lagging after about 10 minutes of playback. It only takes a couple of seconds for it to recpoup but then after another 10 minutes it occurs again.. this goes on for the whole movie/episode. I've tried to kill off all other network equipment without any effect to the plaback.
Also another feature I'd wish to add to the torrent client would be remote adding of torrents to the queue, for example from my friends house or from work. To my knowledge this is only available through local network.
Qnap Nas devices have this feature built-in... as should buffalos also!! (take a hint admin!!)
Then for another feature that needs work, the power save mode. If I wish to leave the torrent loading for the night I have to leave my computer running too, cause if I shut it down the Nas will shutdown also. There should thus be an option to shutdown the Nas only if there is no activity.. or shutdown when all torrents are ready..
At this point (having the device for 2 months) I must say I'm mostly dissatisfied with my purchase. The support for the device has been non-existant, the fan is noisier than promised, media playback is laggy, network transfers for small as well as large items is slow (even with GB-lan), torrent client is still in beta testing, the fs doesn't support large files (over 30GB) and did I mention the support was non-existant?!? (another one, admin!!)
If these issues are fixed with the next FW I will consider keeping the device ;)
