Title: Good to share, but becareful for back ups
Review: I love my Buffalo, and it provides a great hub for files to be moved about in the office area, but without a RAID 0 system I wouldn't suggest it for back ups. Raid 0 copies files on a server to two drives so a back up is really there if one drive fails. (With these single drives when it's dead, you're dead.) SO, great to exchange files and store them short term. Just invest in more if you are looking at backing up your business or important files. Mine areactually used for lab user folders so they can move files from microscopes to the check-in terminal without seeing any difference. This cuts out USBs with viruses being pluged into lab equipment and save an enormous amount of trouble. Smaller drives would easily work for this, but occasioanly for servicing it's nice to be able to back up temporarily to these drives. In short it gives better flexiblilty.
