   The 2TB Linkstation Pro Duo does everything the folks at Buffalo say it will. The configuration utility is a simple web based utility like used on many routers. The setup offers many powerful features like adding numerous user accounts with varying permissions to different shared folders. I have used this feature to give each person their own backup folders for their PC’s in addition to putting all our digital pictures in one place for everyone to use.

   Out of the box it comes setup for Raid 0, non mirrored, 2TB capacity. Change over is easy but did take about 5 hours for the drive to perform disk tests. Once completed, it has a 1TB capacity and all the data is mirrored on both drives so you won’t loose data (why I bought this drive).
   One default I changed on the drive was to set a static IP address for the drive, otherwise a router reboot might cause the IP address to change which can cause problems with breaking your mapped drive (found this out on a print server a few years ago).

   For everyone who complains that Vista won’t work with this product, TURN OFF the Antivirus/Firewall. Turns out my Trend Micro firewall was on and I couldn’t get the install to work. Once I figured it out, everything started working fine. If you have a firewall in your router there is no need for using the Windows or Antivirus firewalls.

   Drive is quiet - I have it on top of my entertainment center, where the router is, in the living room and can’t hear it run. Works fine with wireless access thru the router but that makes it slower that being direct connected. Not really an issue except for the first time you do a full image backup of the computer, then it’s worth running the cable to make this go faster (takes a long time to copy 100 Gig!!!)

   Web Access is the coolest feature of all, I can upload or download files remotely with nothing but IE or Firefox. You can even setup an account that is Read Only so others can see your pictures but can’t delete them by accident. I’m not a big network kind of person so it took me a while to figure out how to do this but it does work!

   Good Product at a Great Price!
