BUFFALO TS51220RH9612 – TeraStation 5020 96TB 12-Bay 2U Rackmount NAS
Overview
The BUFFALO TS51220RH9612 is a TeraStation 5020 Series 12-bay rackmount NAS configured with twelve 8TB enterprise-grade CMR hard drives for 96TB of total installed raw storage. The 2U rackmount platform provides high-capacity network storage for business file sharing, backup, centralized data storage, and other rack-based storage deployments.
Technical Information
The TS51220RH9612 uses an Annapurna Labs Alpine AL524 2.04GHz quad-core processor and 16GB DDR4 memory. Storage supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, and JBOD, with hot spares and hot-swappable drives supported. The platform also provides Btrfs, rapid RAID changes, replication, failover, snapshots, snapshot backup, iSCSI, iSCSI backup, and remote configuration.
The TeraStation 5020 platform includes abnormal login and file activity detection, Active Directory integration, SNMP, UPS support, cloud service integration, and two-factor authentication. The TS51220RH series also supports optional SSD caching using compatible Buffalo SSDs.
Compatibility
The TS51220RH9612 uses twelve 3.5-inch enterprise-grade CMR HDDs with SATA 6Gbps interfaces. Buffalo specifically lists the OP-HD8.0H2U-5Y 8TB replacement enterprise HDD as compatible with the TS51220RH9612.
Network connectivity includes two 10GBASE-T ports and two 1000BASE-T ports using RJ-45 connectors. Supported Ethernet standards include 10GBASE-T, 5GBASE-T, 2.5GBASE-T, 1000BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, and 10BASE-T. Supported network file services include CIFS/SMB, AFP, FTP/FTPS/SFTP, and NFS.
Key Features
- 96TB installed capacity using twelve 8TB enterprise-grade CMR HDDs
- 12-bay 2U rackmount chassis with all twelve drive bays populated
- 2 x 10GBASE-T and 2 x 1000BASE-T RJ-45 network ports
- 16GB DDR4 memory with Annapurna Labs AL524 2.04GHz quad-core processor
- RAID 0/1/5/6/10/JBOD with hot spares and hot-swappable drives
Applications
The TS51220RH9612 is suited to centralized business file storage, shared network storage, backup repositories, data protection, virtualization backup, and other enterprise rack deployments requiring 96TB of installed capacity and high-speed Ethernet connectivity.
DC Supplies Product Note
The exact TS51220RH9612 configuration is the 96TB fully populated 12-drive version of the TeraStation 5020 TS51220RH platform. It uses twelve 8TB enterprise-grade CMR HDDs. Usable capacity depends on the selected RAID configuration and storage overhead rather than the 96TB raw installed capacity.
