I paid extra for a TeraServer Pro network storage device, rather than
their consumer unit.
I was shocked when I tried to set it up to sleep when I don't access it
(12 hours a day, you have to sleep sometimes!) to save power, only to
find that, unlike the consumer versions, it cannot sleep!
I talked to Buffalo, yet they declined to put this feature in their
recent firmware update. Odd.
It seems peculiar to not have good features in upper price zone units.
They do not disclose this in their comparisons, so buyers have no way
to know that by paying more, they're getting less.
They do not respond to inquiries about this. Disappointing. As buyers,
we should demand that mfg. either disclose their energy performance.
Nowhere in their specs does Buffalo let you know power consumption. Any
device that is on 24/7 consumes lots of power, and it is a known issue.
