Hello,
I recently obtained a TS-QVHL/R6 Series from a family member that was no longer using it. I have wiped the machine back to factory settings and updated the firmware. I was wanting to use it as a network storage for my Plex Media Server. However I have run into a lot of issues.
1. Mapping the drive: I read a lot that most older Buffalo stations are set to SMB1 and that Windows 10 natively has that disabled. I first attempted to use ACP Commander and WinSCP to enable SSH and SMB2. Which did not work. Then I tried to enable SMB1 manually. Which did allow me to map the drive.
But then that led to problem 2.
2. Lose of connection during file transfer: So I started small with my smallest movie at about 2gbs. I knew it would take some time but thought nothing of it. After about 5 minutes my transfer rate drops to zero and then a few minutes later and error to reconnect to drive pops up. If I hit continue it asks if I then want to replace existing file. I looked and the system shows they are the same size. So I thought I was good. But upon checking I only have the first few minutes of the movie.
For additional info I have a ethernet running directly to my router about 3 feet away, my internet speeds are over 500mbs
All in all my questions are this:
1. Is the TeraStation even capable of handling transfers of things like movies?
2. If so, does this version of my have the option of SMB1?
3. If not, how do I prevent the disconnect midway in the transfer?
