BUFFALO TeraStation 3220DN 2-Bay SMB 4TB (2x2TB) Desktop NAS w/Hard Drives Included Network Attached Storage

I purchased for a temporary server use. It takes a while to save a files with over 200mb. But still a great tool to use as backup. Server use is a bit challenging. It is very easy to setup and share with other computers.

I have been using Buffalo products for years. I am Network and computer engineer. I install them at my clients office and they work great!. Good product and support. I recorded them.

The unit seems reasonably well made. Startup guide seems to cover most of the bases, and I was up and running with the first Win 10 Pro station very quickly. But, getting the second station working required hours of forum-reading to discover that a Registry switch related to "unsecure guest login" to lanman resources needed to be set. This really needs to either be part of the software, or documented. One other thing... the fan does not run on high very often, but when it does, it's LOUD.

It took about 10 minutes to set this up - unpacking, connecting, and setting a couple of user account values. Network speed is great. You can access files remotely via an app but I'm not using that feature. It's quiet, has lots of capacity, and overall is a great option for people who want to keep files locally.
