Well my Buffalo Link Station looks like it is dead. I spent 2 days trying to get the drive back online but it's stuck in "EM Mode" which means it's not booting from the drives... The remedy is to re-flash it but of course the flash utility won't connect. It sees the drive on the network but can't access it.
I posted a support request on Buffalo's forums but 24+ hours now with no response. I'm sure the answer is, It's dead, Jim. 3 or 4 years old with 4 drives raided together to make 1 big drive... it was a matter of time I guess.
So now looking at this:
Amazon.com: QNAP TS-110 1-Bay Portable Network Attached Storage: Electronics
Single drive solution, I can buy a 2TB drive to put in it, will let me stream to Xbox and PS3, plus has plenty of space to do a full backup of all PCs on my home network.
I still have an online backup on iDrive but I prefer to have a local backup too.
Anyone else using something better?
