Buffalo TeraStation 3420RN Partially Populated 16TB 4-Bay 1U Rackmount NAS Server (2 x 8TB)
- In stock
The Buffalo TS3420RN1602 is a 1U rackmount network attached storage server that arrives with two 8TB NAS hard drives already in place, giving you 16TB of capacity on day one while leaving two open bays for future growth. It is designed for small businesses, branch offices, and serious home users that need a central location to store, share, and protect large amounts of data without adding complexity.
Inside the chassis, a 1.4 GHz Annapurna Labs Alpine AL-214 quad-core processor teams up with 1 GB of DDR3 memory to keep file transfers, scheduled backups, and media streaming responsive even when multiple users connect at the same time. Dual Gigabit and 2.5 GbE network ports help you move data quickly and add redundancy in case a cable or switch port goes down.
Flexible RAID options—including RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, and 10—let you choose the balance of performance and data protection that fits your workflow. If a drive ever shows signs of trouble, you can swap it on the fly thanks to the hot-swap design, and Buffalo backs the unit with a three-year warranty that includes 24-hour hard drive replacement so downtime stays minimal.
Day-to-day management is straightforward. A web-based interface puts system status, firmware updates, and shared folder settings a click away, while Active Directory support allows the TeraStation to slot into an existing Windows domain without extra user administration. Built-in iSCSI gives servers or workstations block-level access for tasks like database hosting or disk-based backups, and cloud sync hooks connect to services such as Amazon S3, Dropbox, OneDrive, and Azure for off-site copies or collaboration.
Whether you are archiving project files, consolidating scattered external drives, or building a reliable target for backup software, the TS3420RN1602 delivers enterprise-inspired features in a package that fits comfortably into a small equipment rack.
