After installing the Buffalo NAS Navigator and set the IP4 parameters (IP6 the box can obviously not), I first updated to the latest firmware Version 1.33.
Then I configured the two disks as RAID 1: Duration for setting up 1500 minutes!
Because the rule was to be a one-time thing, the duration is bearable.
For performance of the Box in RAID1 operation:
I have carried out to date 2 review:
(Test environment: Windows 7 SMB protocol MTU 1500byte, Gigabit Ethernet)
The first test with large files (about 500MB to 1.5GB.)
Be Gosse Files: 51MB / s
Reading books Large Files: 87MB / s
The second test with significant smaller MP3 files
Writing small files: 45 MB / s
Read small files: 65MB / s
From my perspective, the box for the price delivers thus a prima performance.
After switching on the DLNA server on the box all terminals can connect via DLNA easily.
(XStreamer and Panasonic TV, iPad and Android phone with the appropriate app)
If a new folder is created or deleted an existing folder on the file share, the SMB connection is briefly interrupted. An SMB current media playback (video and music) from breaking.
Simultaneous DLNA reproductions are not affected.
The deletion of a folder must be confirmed by a 4-digit code, which I think is good because hierimit accidental deletion is effectively prevented.
About the Hibernation Timer 3 Sleep Timer can be configured on the switch the box on or off. Unfortunately, no Wake-On-LAN is possible
The box does not move the disks into standby mode when not accessed. the "market companions" are here partially power-saving move.
Power consumption I measured with a Voltcraft Energy Check 3000:
Idle (no access to the box): approx 18Watt
While writing is about 4-5Watt more.
The box does not support iSCSI and no NFS protocol.
A (Buffalo supporter) access via the Command Line Interface (eg via ssh) is not possible.
Summary:
+ Good Performance
-Volume
-Powersaving
-No IP V6
