Firmware Updated for Buffalo TS3010 and TS5010 Series NAS

Buffalo Americas, Inc. is dedicated to providing solutions for SMBs.

Over the past few months, the company has released two series (TS5010 and TS3010) of TeraStation NAS devices. These devices provide solutions for SMBs and SMEs looking to store, secure, and access their data quickly and conveniently.

Recently the firm has delivered three key firmware updates for these devices.

Duplex firmware
Duplex firmware is a recovery feature that makes TeraStations more secure from data corruption and data loss. It creates stabilized network storage performance and directly results in less system downtime without having to wait for an engineer to recover data.

Quickly restore the OS with the assistance of the Duplex firmware feature without compromising data.

Now with Duplex firmware, if you experience minor OS system issues, the TeraStation will either begin the recovery process itself or allow for a recovery without affecting user data.

Advanced NTFS permissions (Windows ACL)
File permissions can be controlled at the sub-folder file level from Windows Explorer, making it possible to create new shares with unique permissions on demand from active directory.

• Assign permissions to all levels of the shared directory structure

• Manage all permissions from your domain account

• Copy and paste existing permission structures

Rapid RAID mode change
Rapid RAID mode change allows for improved RAID rebuild times. In the event of drive failure this feature allows recovery as quickly as possible.
