Buffalo's TeraStation Pro NAS bumped to 4TB
Check it rippers and thieves, Buffalo is now offering their TeraStation Pro NAS in capacities up to 4TB. That's right, 4,398,046,511,104 bytes which you can carve up to your RAID 1/5/10 delight. It'll cost you ¥378,000 ($3,142) for the ready-made pleasure; pretty steep for those of you with the DIY chops to fashion your own NAS from a quartet of $399 Hitachi 1TB disks.
Buffalo intros 3TB TeraStation Live and TeraStation Pro II
Buffalo has already let a 3TB TeraStation Pro loose in Japan, but the company's now upping the NAS ante 'round these parts as well, introducing a beefed-up TeraStation Pro II for businesses and a new TeraStation Live for the rest of us. True to its consumer nature, the TeraStation Live boasts both iTunes server capabilities and DLNA adherence, while the TeraStation Pro II adds UPS compatibility and Active Directory support, in addition to a number of extra administrative features. Both NASes are otherwise pretty much identical, with two USB 2.0 ports to accomodate some external hard drives (in case 3TB isn't enough for ya), four hard drives on the inside, and support for RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, and RAID 10 configurations. Each device is also identical when it comes to price, with both available now for $2,499 apiece.[Via SmallNetBuilder]
Buffalo's TeraStation Pro hits 3TB: that's 3,000GB on your home network
Funny thing how NAS disk capacity and DRM hacks possess a near linear relationship, eh? Meet Buffalo's new 3TB (yeah, 3,000GB) TeraStation PRO storage solution for your home network. It's still the same ol' box -- RAID 1/5/10 (across 4x disks), 38MB/s transfer rate (Raid 5), gigabit Ethernet, Active Directory integration, integrated UPS and 2x USB 2.0 jacks to swing even more disk from. And with 1TB drives ready to pop, a 4TB model is just around the corner. The TS-H3.0TGL/R5 is already up for pre-order in Japan for ¥277,305 or about $2,312 of the green after you hunt the beast down. NASty indeed.[Via Impress]
Buffalo intros TS-HTGL/R5 TeraStation Pro NAS series
Keeping things fresh in its TeraStation lineup, Buffalo is dropping three new NAS units touting up to two terabytes of capacity and faster access speeds than previous models. Besides sporting the obligatory RAID 0/1/5 functionality (and looking exactly like its predecessor), the TeraStation Pro TS-HTGL/R5 series holds four hard drives behind a lockable door, gigabit Ethernet, and a snazzy LCD panel to show internal temperature and worrisome alerts. Slated to be available in 1.0, 1.6, and 2.0TB flavors, the units will also support "ActiveDirectory domain," which apparently pulls double duty as a security gate to ward off curious intruders and a data divisor based on group / role login preferences. Although pricing deets are currently unavailable, the trio will be getting NASty (read: shipping) in early December.[Via Impress]
