Buffalo Technology LinkStation Pro Duo 2-Bay 2 TB (2 x 1 TB) Network Attached Storage LS-W2.0TGL/R1
$324.99
Purchased the Buffalo LS-W2.0TGL/R1 based on other reviews here on Amazon. The unit installed and operates exactly as described by Buffalo. Installation is simple: insert the disk; follow the instructions; start using the LinkStation. I installed mine under Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit operating system. I bought the 2 TB model to have the redundancy of two disks operating in Raid 1 configuration. I use the Buffalo strictly for backing up my computers (4) in the office. With Raid 1 it would take a total NUKE job for me to lose my backups. I use Acronis True Image on each of the four machines and have a separate directory on the Buffalo for each. So far the product has been perfect.

D-Link 2-Bay (Diskless) Network Attached Storage DNS-323
$212.99
I had purchased this item to share a SATA drive to act as backup and file server for my media. This unit performed wonderfully for a while. It was in use for a short while when I noticed that it would get quite warm and sometimes make a humming noise. The noise would stop if I moved it a little (a fraction of an inch) on my desk. Recently this NAS stopped working completely. I've had this unit for 8 months almost to the day.

My husband has made multiple phone calls to D-Link to see what can be done. He has spoken to several Customer Service people that have told him that he needs to speak with someone in RMAC. Every time he tries to call RMAC he has either been hung up on or he keeps getting kicked back to Customer Service.

We have had problems in the past regarding D-Links customer support with defective items. This unit was purchased with the recommendation from a friend that has used a similar item before. For us this was D-Links one last chance to have us as a customer. After this D-Link will not be getting any more of our money.

im writing this review after reading a range of reviews claiming that nas has released the most disgustingly racist anti-white anti-american album on the face of the earth, now to start with, being of mixed race (black\white if it matters to you) i was able to listen to the album without being offended at the first mention of a percieved racial slur, also not being an american i was able to listen to the album without being blinded by nationalist pride at the first mention of america not being entirely perfect, and i found the subject matter and issues adressed by the more pollitically charged tracks on the album to be quite thought provoking, and a welcome departure from the current slew of so called hip hop artists dominating mainstream music whose lyrical skills can only be described as sub par (im being as diplomatic as i possibly can and removing all the yelling\swearing that usually results when i discuss new rap) this is the type of music hip hop needs intelligent,deep and thought provoking.

Iomega Home Storage Manager was not compatible with Snow Leopard at the time of purchase. After a few tricks I was able to use it, but since then an update has been released and it is fully compatible with my Mac.
