Buffalo's Tera Station 5010 series was built for small & medium sized businesses seeking an easy & cost-effective 10 Gb E platform. The TS5010 is a network attached storage (NAS) solution with i SCSI protocol designed to move SMB data at enterpriselevel speeds & eliminate the bottlenecks that can occur on slower networks. The TS5010 series is designed to run multiple concurrent services seamlessly with minimal performance degradation, & is ideal for organizations looking to add an affordable virtualized storage to their business network. Branch offices no longer need full-scale server infrastructure for simple tasks such as file sharing & backup. The combination of the TS5010 & Buffalo's 10 Gb E compatible series of business switches creates faster than ever data transfer speeds. The TS5010 series features quad-core processors. For ease of use & deployment, NAS-grade hard drives are included in all TS5010 series except the TS51210RH, which utilizes enterprise-grade hard drives. These drives are built & tested to withstand the stress of always-on operation removing the uncertainty & delay caused by having to select 3rd party drives.
