BUFFALO TS71210RH4804 – TeraStation 71210RH 48TB 12-Bay 2U 10GbE NAS
Overview
The BUFFALO TS71210RH4804 is a TeraStation 71210RH Series enterprise NAS configured with 48TB of installed storage using four 12TB enterprise-grade hard drives. The 12-bay 2U rackmount chassis leaves eight drive bays available for additional storage and supports RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 6, RAID 10, and JBOD configurations.
The system is designed for business and data-center storage environments requiring high-capacity network storage, 10GbE connectivity, and expansion capability. Four native 10GBASE-T RJ-45 ports provide network connectivity, while two PCIe Gen 4 x8 expansion slots support compatible expansion hardware.
Technical Information
The TS71210RH4804 uses an Intel Xeon D-1713NT 2.2GHz quad-core processor with Turbo Boost up to 3.5GHz. It includes 16GB of DDR4 ECC memory and supports expansion up to 64GB using compatible 16GB memory modules. The storage system uses Btrfs and supports SSD caching through compatible expansion hardware.
Four 10GBASE-T RJ-45 ports support 10Gbps, 1000Mbps, 100Mbps, and 10Mbps Ethernet connections. Network services include TCP/IP, CIFS/SMB, AFP, FTP/FTPS/SFTP, and NFS. The system also supports hot swapping and hot spares.
Compatibility
The TS71210RH4804 is intended for rackmount network-storage environments using standard Ethernet infrastructure. Its four 10GBASE-T ports support 10Gbps and backward-compatible 1000Mbps, 100Mbps, and 10Mbps Ethernet connections.
Compatible operating systems include Windows 11, Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2022, Windows Server 2019, Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2012 R2, and macOS 10.13 or later.
Buffalo lists the OP-HD12.0H2U-5Y as a compatible 12TB replacement enterprise hard drive for the TS71210RH4804. The replacement drive uses a SATA 6Gbps interface and carries a five-year warranty.
