Updated/upgraded firmware.....

I recently bought the Buffalo Drivestation Flexnet 1TB, M/N: HD-CELU2, thats what the firmware (BUF-CELU2-1.4.7 LOADER 3.5W1.9) reports, the box indicates the M/N is HD-CE640LU2 and the bottom of the drive indicates HD-CE1.0TLU2-US.  The drivestations web based control seems quite spartan, I was expecting ALOT more, like the ability to control user quotas, logins, perhaps even partition the drive for individual users, format management (NTFS, FAT32, ext3, rieserFS) to handle files larger than 4GB.  I had thought I would be able to take down the desktop I have running in the garage with FreeNAS and shift over to this device.  It works fine as a general file storage, except for the 4GB limit, (home videos eat up 4GB rather quickly).  I would really hope the software gurus at Buffalo are working on something much better to control this drive than what is controling it now.

In your post you specified that the device works fine for general file storage and I am sorry to report this device was built with only that standard in mind.

   Then this device is working wonderfully, and exactly as designed.  Any chance of firmware updates that would "kick it up a notch"?

I haven't heard of any firmware updates for this particular unit.
