Don't buy this product
I did some research before buying this product hence I was fully aware that it was an entry level NAS. Based on the specs posted at Buffalo's web page, my expectation was to get WD Red or Seagate Ironwolf hard drives at a minimum. For my disappointment, the unit shipped to me came with WD Blue HDD. I immediately called Buffalo tech support for clarification. The rep confirmed that the unit I received is what Buffalo has been shipping these days!!! Really? This is sub-entry level. Aside from being the lowest grade hard drive you can get (model number ending in "Z"), it is NOT intended for NAS use. So... I already returned it and bought another product from a more reputable manufacturer. Do not be fooled by misleading Buffalo.

Great product, poor documentation.
I thought this would be an easy setup on my small business network. The hardware install went super smooth. My computer found the drive with the Navigation utility. However, I was unable to find the device share to create the mapping. Had to do a little google searching to find my way past the problem. Hint: make sure SMB 1.0 is enabled for file sharing in Windows 10. Documentation provided and on their website is not very detailed.

Easy Setup
Easiest setup of NAS I have ever experienced. So much easier than previous two units from another manufacturer. So far working perfectly. No random disconnects!
