The Buffalo TeraStation 5200DN WSS 4TB (2 x 2TB) Two-Bay NAS Server is a Windows-based storage server that offers a total capacity of 4TB. Buffalo has preinstalled the Windows Storage Server 2012 R2 Workgroup operating system on this NAS, so you can have a seamless integration experience with Windows-based systems. To deliver optimum performance, the 5200DN WSS is armed with a dual-core 1.86 GHz Intel Atom D2550 processor and 4GB of DDR3 RAM for managing your data as well as the operating system. In addition, you get NovaBACKUP Buffalo edition that includes one server license and ten workstation licenses for a complete, all-in-one data protection solution for PCs and Windows servers.
The TeraStation 5200DN WSS is equipped with two 2TB 3.5" hard drives that can be configured in a RAID 0, 1, or JBOD array. These drives are housed in two drive bays with hot-swapping capabilities, letting you replace a drive without powering down the TeraStation. When compared to standard drives, these NAS drives use less power, have a longer lifespan, and run cooler. For interfaces, the 5200DN WSS provides two Gigabit Ethernet, two USB 3.0, and two USB 2.0 ports. Aside from these features, iSCSI and off-site replication technology are supported on the TeraStation 5200DN WSS.
The TeraStation 5200DN WSS features Buffalo's replication technology, providing easy and high performance data replication from one Buffalo NAS device to another Buffalo NAS device over the network or the Internet. This delivers real-time synchronous replication of data, providing easy and continuous data protection in the event of data loss. If your system configuration includes data replication from one TeraStation 5200DN WSS unit to another, you can set up fail-over to automatically switch main operation over to the redundant TeraStation if the main unit ever becomes inaccessible. Within a minute, the backup TeraStation automatically assumes the role of the main TeraStation 5200DN WSS with no disruption and no IT intervention. Data can be continuously accessed without any notice of the fail-over.
- RAID 0 - combines all drives into a single array offering maximum capacity with no redundancy
- RAID 1 - mirrors two arrays, creating an exact copy of data for fault tolerance
