 Great for the Price! March 12, 2010
J. McLemore (Texas)
I looked around for a networked hard drive solution and this one was the best I could find for the price.
The hard drive was a little challenging to set up and get working but once I did get the password issues I had resolved (not too hard; just log into it using your browser and the drives ip address to change the settings) and got it mapped on my pc, it's worked pretty well. On occasion I've had to connect to the drive a couple times before it will access it, but most of the time it works good.
Stinks that you can't use it via USB and LAN at the same time though.
Otherwise, I've had it for about a month and it's working as expected.
Nice setup, easy to connect February 7, 2010

This unit is easy to setup, it is accessable as either a USB drive or Network attached storage drive. When mapped as a network drive with automatic reconnection, the computers all automatically connect without problems. The only issue I have is in a power failure it defaults to the USB mode, you have to manually push the button to convert it to network mode.
Easy to install January 13, 2010

I first bought it because it was recommended by various people. It was very easy to setup as it gives you step by step easy installation with pictures and all. I did not need to install anything, just connect as both USB and network. Just bought it recently so can't say much but at the moment it works well for me.
 Doesn't Network with Mac (Snow Leopard) January 4, 2010

I purchased this drive as network storage for home. I thought it would work in either usb mode (for initial data copy) or in network mode. However, my MacBook was unable to write files in network mode... I could only read data. (BTW, I have no problem connecting from my macbook to my older network storage WD drive.)
I contacted Buffalo support and was told that the lack of network support for Macs was a known problem. They could not give me any indication of when/if it would ever be resolved. After re-reading the product description, I realized that it only _actually_ claimed Mac support for the Memeo backup software update, not the drive itself...
This is extremely poor product support for network storage (which should be able to communicate with any computers on the network). This is also very misleading advertising, IMO. I certainly won't be purchasing another Buffalo product anytime soon. I would not recommend this company or product to others.
If it worked it might be nice. November 3, 2009

Don't bother buying this product. While the drive seems well designed their support is non-existent.
I tried installing the drive in my network, blindly, as it does not include any documentation for Macs whatsoever. This drive is advertised as Mac compatible.
If you go on the website, it will direct you to input your serial number to download a software, for Macs, to manage your drive on the network. You need to know that your drive is called HD-CE1.5TLU2, which is not that obvious when you look at the box or the manual. Anyway, it doesn't work, it's for NAS, which apparently this isn't, although it says so in the box.
I finally managed to see drive in Finder and access it, but couldn't copy or move files to it except through the terminal, using cp or mv commands. Applications could see the drive and open files but not write to it.
I called tech support several times, but wasn't able to reach any one because of extreme wait times. I emailed tech support and was promised an answer in 48 hours, I am still waiting. I also logged various questions in their forum to no avail, the people there didn't even look at my request.
I believe they are overwhelmed by reliability problems and cannot handle the excessive tech support needed to get their product operational.
I have returned it and since bought a Western Digital My Book World Edition 1 TB Network Attached Storage WDH1NC10000N (White) network drive (a little more expensive), which I plugged in and immediately showed up in my Finder, it allows me to access it through the Internet from anywhere and fully supports the Mac.
