Buffalo DriveStation Combo 4 (1TB)

By Jeffrey L. Wilson (laptopmag.com)

With its fast speeds and multiple connectivity options, this is hands-down the best 1TB external hard drive.

Fast read and write speeds, eSATA, FireWire 400, and FireWire 800 ports, File-encryption software, Windows and Mac compatible

TurboUSB didn't improve write speeds

Although it sports an MSRP of $579, the Buffalo DriveStation Combo 4 is available for as little as $230 through online retailers. For the price, you get a one-year warranty (which is a bit skimpy compared to the Maxtor OneTouch 4 Plus' impressive five ...

By TG Publishing Team (tomsguide.com)

DriveStation Combo 4 review

By Rob Henry (macworld.co.uk)

Keep your iTunes library safe by backing it up - the DriveStation Combo 4 is an effective solution for backup that will not break the bank.

Good connectivity options, easy setup

Supplied TurboUSB software offered little speed increase over standard USB 2.0 speeds, needs reformatting before use on a Mac

There's no doubt that the markets for external storage devices - like the capacities of the drives themselves - are expanding. It's almost debatable whether consumer demand is driving technological development or vice versa, but each month seems to ...

Review

By N/A (newegg.com)

The two units I have turned out to be a very cheap and easy way to set up this particular office.

I run a small office. I have two of these things. One is on site acting as a back up for the machines and a file server for the client data and application databases. The other is off site acting as an off site backup. Overall it works fine for this and p...

I did have an issue with the remote backup passing the local ip to the file server messing up the built in web interface backup, so I was unable to just forward a port in the router to get to the terastation for a backup job. This is a pain and difficult...

SO far so good

By N/A (newegg.com)

I have had zero problems with the units we own. We have one at the office and one at my home. The offsite unit is set up to mirror the in office unit. I would consider buyig another if I needed a new NAS

Had to get root access to the box because the file permissions from a mac laptop were messing up the shares. I think this had more to do with the users umask and not the unit its self

Great way to lose your data!

By N/A (newegg.com)

Hands down, this was the worst purchase that I have ever made.

Newegg's order processing and shipping was amazing, like always

First unit failed mechanically within 6 weeks. Replacement unit from Buffalo Technology (refurbished) failed within one day! I am currently waiting for my second warranty replacement unit to arrive. Unfortunately, there is no way that I would ever trust m...
