2006-04-18 Thread Gary Udstrand
Being a photographer I have a need for lots of storage space. I currently have 500 Gigs in my PC and am close to running out. Instead of adding more drives I was thinking about purchasing a Buffalo Terastation, seems like pretty good RAID storage for a decent price. Does anyone have any
