It's the older 1TB Terastation with firmware 2.16. Yes it does tale many hours to go through the check process. The % complete climbs gradually to 100% and then simply starts all over again. Been doing that now for 3 days. No error messages or error lights - it just starts the raid check all over again.
I can access the data while it is doing that. I've backed up all the data to a USB drive as I expect the Terastation i son it's way out again. This is the second time this unit had failed. Once the raid board failed so I had to take out all the drives and send back to Buffalo and wait for a new chasis. Now a few months later this happens. Seems very unreliable for a backup device.
I sent a message to Buffalo support but had no reply from them.
