Has anyone had the BUFFALO DriveStation DDR for an extended period of time, 1 year or more, without issue?

had it for about 7 months as a daily backup drive with no issues. Fast and reliable to this point.

No, my drive failed completely after 2 months. No sounds, no lights, dead as a door nail.

5 months out and today it turned into a brick. I'm going to recover my files to a WD drive.

I've had mine since early June 2013 and use it heavily. Knock on wood, but it's fine.

yes I had a couple small issues, and just last week the hard drive crashed. I'm told that Toshiba hard drives are not the best. I gave the computer to my tech to research a better hard drive. Otherwise I like the computer overall.

I think it is one year - check the LaCie web site. I have 4 of these drives, one over three years old and all have been reliable.

I haven't had any problems with mine - it's been working fine since its purchase.

My husband replaced mine in November. I had absolutely no issues with the internal memory.

Just over 2 years (purchased 1/10/2014) running two of these drives 24/7. No problems or errors reported on either drive.

I've had 8 of these running in a RAID but only 3 months thus far. No issues to date....

I've been running a Seagate drive in this unit for over a year without issues.

I have had a Toshiba Satellite for over 5 years now, never had a problem with it.

I have had mine for about 3 months and I use it for gaming, heavy file sharing, and basic functions and I have not encountered any power issues or major system failures. There have been a few minor issues with programs running on the windows 8.1, but that would be a software problem not a hardware. Overall, it has been the most reliable machine I have ever had.

I haven't. I have had mine for about two months now. Everything is still working great. Running my PS4, Xbox One and Mac off of it.

I have two of the 2TB drives and also 4 of the 1TB drives, and can only say that all 6 have worked fine for me. Performance wise, the 2TBs seem identical to the 1TBs, although my 1TBs are shock-proof, while the 2TBs are not. I store a lot of video on the Buffaloes and back up my other files, too. So far, I see no reason why I would not buy another one.

I've never had any problem. Sometimes it has been years and all works well.

It has been my experience that these drives will last for several years. I should add that I run open source operating systems and they do considerably less virtual memory caching('thrashing') to the device than the commercially produced operating systems. In my opinion, Toshiba drives are solid, reliable products.

I have only had mine for one year. I have had no problems as of yet with it.

No failures, but I have 2 of these drives and both of them have seen 1000+ hours of use as I use them for video storage, editing, and viewing with no problems.
