Buffalo doesn't make drives per se. They (mostly?) use WDs.

All drives fail. Just make sure you have at least one backup copy. Don't go
for the cutting edge multi-TB drive. 1 TB is probably very mature technology
by now.

Don't trust RAID, unless you are a PRO. 2 drives with continuous backup give
me a better peace of mind.
