Product Data Sheet

TeraStation™ WS5420RN

WSS 2016 Rackmount with 10GbE – 4-Bay Business NAS

Buffalo’s TeraStation™ rackmount unit with Windows Storage Server 2016 (WS5420RNS6) combines four hard drives, high-performance network attached storage with the power and convenience of Windows operating system, fully populated with high-reliability HDD drives. This specialized operating system helps with simple deployment and management of your growing storage demands to integrate seamlessly with your existing Windows-based environment. WS5420RNS6 is an ideal solution for consolidating multiple file servers into a single solution that enables cost reduction and lowering the overhead on your existing servers for other workloads. It comes equipped with the powerful Intel® Atom™ Dual-Core 1.56Ghz family Processor and 8GB of fast ECC DDR4 memory installed and is designed to guard against failures and prevent downtime with four hot-swappable drives. Buffalo’s new WSS rackmount model is available with total capacities of 16 or 32TB. It means an upgrade of our current WS5400RRS2 with its 10GbE LAN interface, meaning a high-speed connection and the latest OS (Windows Storage Server 2016). For Windows Storage Server, you would have the standard Microsoft features to setup remote access like FTP/SFTP or through third party programs. In any case it is easy to enable external file access.

Replication with TeraStation

This function can be set up in LAN and WAN. WAN setup includes remote connection via port forwarding and VPN setup.

3 year warranty

This product has a standard warranty of 3 years. Check for other possibilities of warranty extension.

Active Directory

TeraStation functions as a client of an Active Directory domain, so that domain users and groups can be used. This means that they can be used in domain environments of companies with up to 10,000 users and groups.

Hot-swap function increases data security

With the hot swap function, the TeraStation™ automatically switches off the defective hard disk even if one hard disk fails, so that it can be replaced safely without interrupting work or losing data.

iSCSI target support

Works simultaneously as NAS and iSCSI target.

Including Buffalo VIP service
