Buffalo Forums

Hi there
I recently bought a 5010 terastation with 120 TB storage, for use in my wedding photo studio.  we are using lightroom to work on thousands of images weekly. The station has been unsteady - i've already lost two drives to failure, which were replaced by Buffalo.  But logs are showing that 4 of our stations are sending file requests to the Terastation at a crazy rate - 6000 connections per minute.  it's asking to see one file 9 times in a second, and continues to access it for 4 minutes straight.  Weird stuff.  This slows down the station's response time - it's working fine within lightroom, but if I try to see how many files are in a folder, it might take 3-4 minutes to show me the inside of that folder in finder.

I'm on mac os 11.6.5 Big Sur, on a 2019 iMac 27" running intel i9 chip with 40gb ddr RAM. 

Does anyone have experience with this sort of issue, and have any way to fix it?  Will be trying to reach out to Adobe but know they historically haven't offered support for external storage solutions.

Thanks in advance!

Continuing with this thread - hoping someone might see this and can help.  The Terastation has become unusably slow - in Finder it might take 2 full minutes to see the contents of a folder.  moving photos within folders using lightroom might sometimes hang for 5 minutes.  We lose metadata regularly - unable to access metadata we saved just a day ago.  Buffalo is unhelpful, their techs not knowing how to advise or fix the situation.  Any ideas - any help?  Thanks!
