Good while it worked

This review is from: BUFFALO LS-XH1.0TL 1TB LinkStation Pro Network Attached Storage
Pros:
Fast (when it worked right) Easy to upgrade. No networking hastle. Plenty of storage.
Cons:
Stopped working right after a year. Lack of fan failure alarm. If power fails it reorders the numbers of the USB disks. If the internal hard drive has an issue it shuts the other two down. When the temp issues are resolved it doesnt reset itself. It just keeps beeping until you turn it off and then back on.
Overall Review:
I have a little older model and for the first year the thing worked great. It has an internal 500gb drive and I plugged in 2 1gb drives to it. I have photos, video, and downloads split up to their respective drives. After over a year of use I started getting this random alarm that disabled the disk. It was not descriptive. Through trial and error I found a fan had gone bad in it. The thing would turn on, eventually overheat, then start beeping. I opened the thing up and have not been able to get a new fan yet. However, for the last 4 months it ran at an acceptable temp just being open. Now suddenly it has started throwing the alarm again. The temp near the device is a max of 86 deg. I have a dedicated air intake that pulls the hot air out of the top of the large closet it is in. Ever since the fan went out this product has been slow. I dont mean the internal drive but also the external drives that should not be effected when the internal one overheats.
