 Great Product--- lots of options. December 25, 2008

Superb product. This machine will become your storage center in the house. I have put my music, videos, and pictures on it. Not only do you get 1TB, but you get a dependable server. Underneath, it is running a linux kernel that has a lot of services. There is a PnP (DLNA) server works with the xbox 360 great. The DLNA Server is really running the Twonky Media Server [...]. There is an FTP Server, Memeo Backup Server. There is a bittorrent client. The web access works great too-- You can upload files anywhere in the world. You need to go to [...] for it to work. The admin interface works good. Although I would of liked a faster processor on this, it does do the job. The gige speed gives me a write of about 16MB/s using jumbo packets. It works with XP and Vista 32/64. I'm using firmware 1.02.
You can also expand the storage adding a USB drive. I may add another TB as I have almost maxed out this 1TB.
Good job, Buffalo! May 27, 2009

Take it easy - this is my first product review on Amazon web site.
Intro
I've owned 2 Buffalo hard drives for last 3 years: 500GB USB and HS-DH500GL 500GB NAS. Both of them are still working.
LS-CH500L
Happy owner of LS-CH500L 500GB NAS hard drive. I got it two weeks ago for extra capacity and bit-torrent. I would give this box a 95% customer satisfaction. I would concentrate on comparing LS-CH to HS-DH, which is the model that replaced by this CH Series line.
Pros:
1. Good looking design
2. Very quite and cool
3. Pre-configured On/Off schedule settings
4. Easy setup (YMMV, since this is my second Buffalo NAS)
5. Built-in Bittorent client is absolutely terrific
6. DLNA certified out-of-the-box with stable and user-friendly Media server (Mediabolic garbage replaced with MVConnect)
7. Web Access - dyndns out-of-the-box through buffalonas.com web site
8. Reasonably priced
Cons:
1. Print Server - usability in most cases is 30% - it's still doesn't support multifunctional printers, so called AIO.
2. New firmware changes and features might not be included
Conclusion:
Essentially CH represents a repackaged DH with modified web interface, different vendor for a media server and integrated Bit-Torrent-client.
-- I wish Buffalo would revise firmware more often for previous models. Unfortunately, Buffalo is up-to making more sales by forcing us to buy new boxes instead of building a brand loyalty and releasing new features into previous models to keep existing customers happy. Very sad, but true.
BTW, Amazon should merge this product review/description with
"Buffalo LinkStation Live LS-CHL - NAS - 500 GB - Serial ATA-150 - HD 500 GB x 1 - Gigabit Ethernet", since it's exactly the same product.
Works great. January 6, 2010

After reading some of the previous reviews, I was a bit hesitant to pick this up. So far I have yet to experience any difficulty whatsoever with the Buffalo NAS unit, setup was straightforward and after moving nearly 100 gigs of media to it, I've freed up a ton of space and performance on my computers. I recently started shooting digital photos in raw and storage was really becoming an issue. Now not only do I have plenty of room for all of my stills, video, and mp3s, but I can easily access them from my desktop or laptops without having to worry which computer the files might be on. So far, it's been an invaluable addition to my home network.
Great NAS! March 6, 2010

This NAS by Buffalo Technology was a breeze to install, the software adds full functionality. All around a good product that does exactly what it needs to do quickly and easily.
It's like a mini computer that's always on. March 22, 2010

Had this puppy for months now, and I will list what it does for me.
1. It's a Print server, so I have my color laser attached to it and can print to it from any PC in my house... even my wirelss laptops. (via my wireless rounter)
2. It stores all my Itunes Music and Home Videos and documents, so I can veiw them from any PC in my house.
3. It has a remote web interface, so I go to Buffalonas.com and log into my NAS from anywhere in the world. but I usually log in from work to get my homework files.
3a. It has local and remote permisions, account createion controls and a full web interface.
4. It uses DLCS (something like that), so my PS3 acts as a media server for my TV and stereo. I can watch all my home videos instantly, I can listen to all my ITunes songs instantly (not music videos, bummer), I can steam all my photos one after teh other, and I can play .AVI movies as well; all this using my PS3 with remote control, or game controler.
5. I can have it turn on automatically and off at say 2am and back on at 6am to save power.
6. It makes practically no noise.
7. It's never failed, but thats ok, I have a Backup Drive!
8. it's 500GB's.... I've put years worth of stuff on there and it's only half full.
Hope that helps... can't say much more about it... show me something better for around $119 bucks.. and maybe i'll try it once this fails.......
in all seriousness, this is a great drive, greanted you may have to flash it, but that's easy. Once this baby is up and running, there is not comparison.
