Buffalo Technology has announced the TeraStation 5000 series of high performance network storage solutions. The 5000 series currently consists of the two-drive TeraStation 5200 and the four-drive TeraStation 5400.

The TeraStation 5000 series is equipped with the Intel Atom D2550 dual-core processor and offers an array of business class features including iSCSI, replication and failover support and SoleraTec Phoenix RSM, a video surveillance asset management solution. It’s also packed with business class features such as surveillance video management, Active Directory support, disk quota support, share level replication, failover support, dual gigabit Ethernet ports, hot-swap hard drives, iSCSI targeting and USB 3.0 accessory support.

The TeraStation 5400 TS5400D features four pre-populated drive bays with capacities up to 12 TB and supports a variety of data protection options including RAID 0/1/5/6/10 and JBOD for a balanced mix of redundancy and performance. TeraStation 5400 will replace the current TeraStation Pro Quad TS-QVL/R6 and will be available in June at an estimated street price of US$879.99 for the 4TB, $1,199.99 for the 8TB and $1,699.99 for the 12TB.

The TeraStation 5200 TS5200D features two pre-populated drive bays with capacities up to 6TB and support for RAID 0/1/JBOD, making it an ideal solution for small offices that require the performance and reliability of a larger office but without the capacity demand. The TeraStation 5200 will replace the current TeraStation Pro Duo TS-WVL/R1 and will be available in June at an estimated street price of $549.99 for the 2TB, $699.99 for the 4TB and $849.99 for the 6TB.
