BUFFALO LinkStation SoHo 220 4TB 2-Bay NAS Network Attached Storage with HDD Hard Drives Included NAS Storage That Works as Small Office and Home Cloud or Network Storage Device for Home Office

I didn't need to access this drive over the internet so it fit my needs. The reviews warned against using the on line access. It took a while to get my laptop to pick up the NAS but that was because of the complexity of my house network. I have two wireless networks in the house. Once I figured that out the directions became clearer. My laptop is hardwired to the network. Getting my wife's PC to find it using wireless was easier once I got it on the correct wireless network (the router wireless network). It may not be easy for someone with no computer or network knowledge. If you are connected with CAT5 or 6, or wireless, refer to Hardware Installation picture 4 to keep everything on the router network.

Replaced a similar unit after years of use, easy to use, very reliable.

Needed to keep my computer system backed up. Love this unit. It was a little time consuming setting it up but well worth the effort. The 16TB system has worked well so far, but I might have to expand/double the size soon and this system allows for this in several different ways.

It has been 100% reliable and is perfectly functional. EXCEPT because it is olde is doesn't support SMB 3 file share protocol which is required by many modern day backup software including Apple Time Machine. Current versions of Mac OS only support SMB 3 protocols I will need to replace it before upgrading my Mac software.

So far so good
