Buffalo TeraStation 1000 Series Entry-Level NAS

Buffalo Technology announced the TeraStation 1000 Series, an entry level NAS product line for small businesses and home office users.

TeraStation 1200

The TeraStation 1000 series is comprised of the TeraStation 1200 2-drive desktop, the TeraStation 1400 4-drive desktop and the TeraStation 1400r 4-drive rack mountable unit.

Businesses of all sizes are experiencing a growing need for high-performance data management solutions. Larger companies tend to satisfy storage requirements through third-party cloud providers or expensive in-house servers. In contrast, home office users and small business professionals often lack the resources necessary to invest in data management services or infrastructure for their storage needs. Recognizing this gap, the company created the TeraStation 1000 Series of NAS devices to give small business professionals and power users the tools they require at an affordable cost.

“Buffalo prides itself on building high performance storage and networking solutions for budget conscious professionals and businesses,” said Brian Verenkoff, director of product management, Buffalo Americas, Inc. “We are pleased to present this user demographic with an entry level NAS option that addresses all of their storage needs and more.“

TeraStation 1200 2-Drive Desktop NAS Device
Available today, the device ships in capacities of 2, 4, 6 and 8TB. It is easy to set up and configure with customizable RAID data protection for advanced networks and applications. This NAS solution features a 1.2GHz dual-issue ARM processor, offering performance during file transfers along with R/W speeds. It runs silently and occupies a small footprint for offices or work areas that are strapped for space. Additionally, it features 10 free licenses of NovaBACKUP Business Essentials, providing an all-in-one data protection solution for Windows PCs, storage servers, Exchange servers and SQL databases.

The NAS is packed with variety of business class data management capabilities:

• Active Directory support

• Hot-swap / Hot-spare HDDs

• RAID-0/1/JBOD
