Title: Buyer beware
Review: I've had this unit (LS-500GL) for 1 year now and there have been consistent hardware problems. The unit would power off automatically or just stop communicating on the network without any notification. A hard reset was required every 2-3 weeks. I've called Buffalo Support a number of times and besides the customary 30 minute hold, they are less than helpful. The same answer applies that there's is nothing similar reported and just do a hardware reboot.Two days ago the fan went. Buffalo will NOT replace the device unless it's been purchased less than a year ago. If it's a few days older, as in my case, you're out of luck. There is NO repair service so the unit becomes an expensive doorstop.In short, the LinkStation has been working inconsistently for a year and there is no recourse or repair whatsoever after 365 days.Use caution when considering this device or even BuffaloTech as a vendor. Product and service are sub-par on many fronts.
