BUFFALO TS3430RN0804 – TeraStation 3430RN 8TB 4-Bay 1U Rackmount NAS
Overview
The BUFFALO TS3430RN0804 is a TeraStation 3430RN 1U rackmount NAS configured with four 2TB NAS-dedicated hard drives for 8TB of installed storage. The four-bay platform is designed for small-office and business environments requiring centralized network storage, file sharing, backup, and rack-mounted deployment.
Technical Information
The TS3430RN0804 uses an Annapurna Labs Alpine AL-524 2.0GHz quad-core processor and 2GB of DDR4 memory. The four internal SATA 6Gbps drive bays support RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, and JBOD. Buffalo specifies RAID 6 as the factory configuration for the TS3430RN series.
Network connectivity includes one 2.5GbE RJ-45 port and one 1GbE RJ-45 port. The 2.5GbE interface supports multi-gigabit Ethernet while maintaining compatibility with lower-speed Ethernet connections. The system also provides two USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports and one USB 2.0 port.
Compatibility
The TS3430RN0804 supports SMB/CIFS, AFP, FTP, FTPS, SFTP, NFS, TCP/IP, and iSCSI services. Buffalo also supports Active Directory integration, cloud storage services, UPS connectivity, and SNMP monitoring. The 1U chassis is intended for standard rack-mounted network storage deployments.
Key Features
- 8TB installed capacity from four 2TB NAS-dedicated HDDs
- Four-bay 1U rackmount chassis with factory RAID 6
- 2.5GbE and 1GbE RJ-45 network connectivity
