In RAID 5 configuration, this drive does the job of archiving my images. It is so quiet that you hardly know it is operating. So far, very happy with its performance.

Drive worked nicely. The RAID utility was minimal and easy to use.

Changing RAID modes on this box in quick and painless with the included RAID configuration utility. The device includes backup software but I prefer to use Macrium Reflect. In RAID 0 mode the drive can easily sustain over 120 MB (mega BYTEs not megabits) per second on a capable hosted server over USB 3.0 It is likely even faster over USB 3.1. When I outgrow this I will be buying a newer larger version starting with Buffalo’s products. The B & H purchase was awesome as usual!

The setup was quick and easy (Raid 5 out of the box), drive speeds seem good. I have this attached to a media PC to play HD/4K material to a projector and it’s handling that with zero problems (serves as storage for my Plex server). It gets moved back and forth between PC’s frequently and no issues with that either. When I fill it up I plan on getting a second one assuming no issues crop up.
