The BUFFALO TeraStation WS5420DN is a high-performance network-attached storage (NAS) device designed for businesses and professionals requiring reliable, scalable, and secure data storage solutions. It runs on Windows Server IoT 2019 Storage Standard Edition, which provides seamless integration with Windows-based applications and environments. This device is ideal for organizations that need a centralized file server, backup solution, or hybrid cloud storage system.
With native Windows Server features such as Shadow Copy, Azure Sync, and Active Directory support, the TeraStation WS5420DN can be optimized as a file server that integrates effortlessly with existing Windows infrastructure. It eliminates the need for additional client access licenses (CALs), reducing integration costs and simplifying deployment.
The device includes four pre-installed, NAS-grade hard drives (each 2TB) for a total of 8TB of raw storage capacity. It ships with RAID 5 configured, providing 6TB of usable space and a balance of performance and redundancy. Users can later reconfigure the RAID setup to RAID 6 for increased redundancy or RAID 0 for maximum capacity. This flexibility allows users to tailor the storage configuration to their specific needs.
The TeraStation WS5420DN is equipped with a 10GbE network interface, enabling significantly faster data transfer speeds compared to traditional 1GbE networks. This makes it ideal for environments that require high-speed data access, such as media editing, virtualization, or large-scale file sharing.
Cloud integration is another key feature of this device. It supports synchronization with popular cloud services like Dropbox, Microsoft Azure, and OneDrive, allowing users to create a hybrid cloud storage solution. This not only enhances data security but also provides cost savings and flexible scalability.
The device also offers robust backup and disaster recovery capabilities. It allows users to back up data to and from the cloud, replicate data across servers, and restore virtual machines (VMs) to any hardware. This makes it an excellent choice for businesses looking to implement a comprehensive backup and disaster recovery plan.
With an 8TB capacity and four drive bays, the TeraStation WS5420DN provides ample storage space for growing businesses. It also supports virtualization capabilities, enabling users to reduce hardware costs and streamline remote work operations.
The TeraStation WS5420DN comes with a 3-year warranty that includes coverage for the hard drives and offers 24/7 US-based support. Extended warranty options are also available for added peace of mind. Additionally, it qualifies for free simple logical data recovery services when registered, further enhancing its value proposition.
