admsupport,
Thanks for your response.
I assume, since you state in your reply
"I don't use a NAS, sorry"
That your response is not an official one from "Buffalo" the company,
and for this particular unit.
I think we all understand the theory on how it should work,
but does it?
What I am looking for, since I spent money on this product
an "Official" response from "Buffalo" that should have been
explained in the user manual.
"How do you replace a bad disk drive"
Put yourself in my shoes.
I purchased this unit 2 weeks ago, and after joining this forum I find out
that I am supposed to back this unit up too!
This was stated in an earlier post by a "Buffalo Representative"...
One even stated for some reason that makes no sense to me
that the unit has to be returned for repair for drive replacement.
So I need to go buy another device, to backup the device I just purchased
to back that up too... Come on ! What a crock !
If you guys visit Buy.com, you will see WD has a USB 2.0 device
that is mirrored 1TB Drives for 1/2 the price of this unit.
They even have a video of a WD representaive showing
how easy it is to pop open the cover and replace the bad disk drive.
I bet there manual is complete...
I have a number of computers on my network, and I purchased this unit
to be the destination of my data so I don't have to backup.
Micro Center recommended this unit based on my requirements.
They sold me one unit, not this one, and another one to back this one up...
I spent money on the LS Pro DUO that has the functionality of "Mirroring",
so if a failure occurs, I should be able to replace one of those drives
and do exactly as you explained myself.
Since I am a owner of the product, and you say you don't own one
I think you are "Assuming" what you say to be true.
I sure hope your right... but show me the documentation!
I would like to express my dissatisfaction of the product
and would like to demand that "Buffalo" provide instructions to
those of us who spent money on this unit.
I would like a PDF, that should have come with the purchase of my unit
telling me step by step instructions on how to replace a drive.
I wait anxiously wait for a response...
If there is no response from "Buffalo"...
I will also be posting reviews on this product on many websites sharing
the information that I became aware of after my purchase, warning
individuals to be careful in there selection of this product.
