BUFFALO TS71210RH9612 – TeraStation 71210RH 96TB 12-Bay 2U 10GbE NAS
Overview
The BUFFALO TS71210RH9612 is a fully populated 12-bay 2U rackmount NAS configured with 96TB of installed storage using twelve 8TB enterprise-grade CMR hard drives. It is designed for enterprise file storage, backup, data-intensive workloads, and other network storage deployments requiring high capacity within a 2U rack footprint.
The TS71210RH platform supports RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 6, RAID 10, and JBOD configurations. Four native 10GbE RJ-45 ports provide high-speed network connectivity, while two PCIe Gen 4 x8 expansion slots provide additional options for storage acceleration and high-speed networking.
Technical Information
The TS71210RH9612 uses an Intel Xeon D-1713NT 2.2GHz quad-core processor with Turbo Boost up to 3.5GHz and 16GB of DDR4 ECC memory. System memory can be expanded to 64GB using compatible 16GB modules.
The NAS uses the Btrfs file system and supports snapshots, SSD caching, and iSCSI functionality. Buffalo also specifies copy-on-write and metadata duplication capabilities for the platform. Four 10GBASE-T interfaces support 10Gbps, 1000Mbps, 100Mbps, and 10Mbps Ethernet connections.
Two USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports and two USB 2.0 ports provide additional peripheral connectivity. The rackmount platform supports hot swapping and hot spares for compatible drive configurations.
Compatibility
The TS71210RH9612 is intended for enterprise rackmount environments using standard Ethernet infrastructure. Its four RJ-45 10GbE ports support 10Gbps as well as 1Gbps, 100Mbps, and 10Mbps Ethernet connections.
Network file services include CIFS/SMB, AFP, FTP/FTPS/SFTP, and NFS. Buffalo also specifies support for iSCSI targets and iSCSI volume backup, making the system suitable for storage environments that require block-level network storage in addition to conventional file services.
The two PCIe Gen 4 x8 expansion slots support compatible 10GbE SFP+, 25GbE SFP28, and 40GbE QSFP network expansion options, as well as SSD caching hardware. Expansion hardware is not assumed to be included unless separately specified.

DC Supplies Product Note
The TS71210RH9612 is the fully populated 96TB configuration of the TS71210RH platform, using all twelve drive bays with 8TB enterprise-grade CMR HDDs. Because all bays are populated, storage expansion within the chassis requires replacing installed drives with supported higher-capacity drives rather than adding additional drive bays.
