Can't Buffalo release a firmware update to fix this 2TB limit? I hear the probem might be with the 2.4 Version of the operating system but the 2.6 version on the OS fixes this. However buffalo does not have any firmware for this machine that runs on the 2.6 version on the Kernal.
I bought a Readynas from infrant that is very very old. I updated the firmware today and it can support all moderm drives 2TB drives plus anything else that might come out in the future. Even know the company is now own by netgear and my product is an Infrant readynas, they still stood by the product and produced firmware to make it work.
I wish buffalo would take a page fromt the readynas book instead of telling you that you can't upgrade your machine which is running a wopping 250GB hard drive when the norm on the street now 8 times the size 2,000GB ( 2TB)
Buffalo needs to get out of the hard drive business an into the RAID NAS business. Part of the reason they are rated so low is because of the refurbished junk hard drive they include which break like crazy mixed with the scoreful attitute towards replacing hard drives which all other NAS devices strong encourage. Thecus does not tell people " oh, don't touch the hard drive, you have to stick with only our special hard drives"
In closing with my random rant, Buffalo need to update the firmware for the Terastation Pro 1 to allow it to support hard drives larger than 500GB and start getting with the times that NAS devices are suppose to be upgradable as the technology improves. We are consumers want the same thing as in the braveheart movie. "FREEDOM !! to upgrade our Hard drives!
Thanks.
