Storage Solutions Purpose-Built for Security, Stability, and Simplicity

Buffalo, a leading manufacturer of?NAS solutions, has always designed our products to provide what home and office users demand: a reliable and secure data storage/backup solution that is robust, versatile, and straightforward, so users can easily set up stable storage and manage their data with peace of mind. The TeraStation 3020 is especially purpose-built to highlight Security, Stability, and Simplicity.

Security

Buffalo’s acclaimed?NAS solutions?are widely considered the most secure NAS on the market.

Closed System

One of the most significant highlights of the TeraStation 3020 is that it runs on a closed system, with not even the system administrator having root rights.?Most competitors’ NAS devices allow third party apps to be installed via an app store, which is a possible vector for malware, spyware, and other viruses. The TeraStation only allows connections to available network services, which you can still limit to the ones you really need and use by enabling/disabling them per LAN port and service, further minimizing risks.

Robust Encryption at Every Level

The TeraStation 3020 offers encryption at every level for data security. The TeraStation can be configured to require authentication during boot-up.?If the boot authentication is not present, the Terastation will not boot and the data cannot be read under any circumstance, preventing unauthorized boot-ups or resets of a stolen device. The TeraStation also offers the option to encrypt the drives with AES 256-bit strong encryption. Even when HDDs are taken out of the unit, they cannot be read by a PC or on other TeraStation unit. In addition, the TeraStation supports SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol), which enables secure file transfer capabilities between networked hosts, and online access can be encrypted by HTTPS.

Automated Backups

The TeraStation offers a myriad of backup options, including Time Machine compatibility and Microsoft Azure and OneDrive sync, that?you can configure to run based on your schedule for maximum convenience and back up data from both local and online file storage. You can configure to have backups run during off hours or on weekends to make sure your daily operations are not disrupted while you back up storage files.

Stability

Buffalo NAS?are designed to maintain uptime, allowing you to work and manage data with peace of mind.

Pre-tested HDD/Pre-configured RAID

Using low-quality or pre-used hard drives can have muddled drive capacities, which can lead to many issues. While you can perform your own hard drive tests, it can be very time-consuming. The TeraStation comes with drives included, and?we carefully select our drives and rigorously test them before adding them to the product chassis to ensure the highest level of quality for reliable data storage.

Configuring a RAID array can also be a complex and time-consuming process. Once a NAS server is deployed and running, you might have very few opportunities in the future to take if offline for reconfiguration.?The TeraStation is simple storage that offers you out-of-the-box data protection, saving you the time and effort of building your own RAID array.

Enhanced Data Protection

The TeraStation is protect data effortlessly without increasing costs, so we can offer you peace of mind along with tremendous value. The TeraStation comes with a myriad of robust data loss prevention features such as RAID, automated backups, hybrid cloud, replication, and failover.?

For physical protection, the TeraStation features Kensington lock compatibility. The TeraStation also features a physical security key with lockable doors that prevent the disks from being taken out of the unit without the key.?

Award-Winning Support/Warranty

To offer further peace of mind, Buffalo offers a 3-year product warranty (5-year optional extension) with?our award-winning, 24/7 North America-based support, as well as our Simple Logical Data Recovery service qualification when the product is registered. The TeraStation is designed to be a turn-key data storage system that requires minimal effort from you to manage your data.

Simplicity

Buffalo NAS?are purpose-built with ease-of-use in mind, so you can manage your data with minimal hassle.

2.5GbE for Enhanced Data Transfers

The TeraStation features a native 2.5GbE port to enable faster data transfer and access. There is no rewiring required—you can use your existing Cat5e cable for your current Ethernet connection.

Upgrading to 2.5GbE enables network possibilities that were not feasible before. A faster network means increased data transfer speeds, allowing for faster data backups and smoother remote work. Common daily operations such as video production/editing, database management, and NAS storage and backup will all benefit from more bandwidth by allowing you to access and backup data faster. You can also support more stable concurrent application sessions for more stable workloads.Remote Management Service

Remote Management Service

If you have multiple NAS devices, especially across multiple locations, managing them can be quite the hassle. Buffalo’s Remote Management Service presents our users with option to easily manage multiple devices, including the TeraStation, from one screen.?With Remote Management Service, you can monitor the status of each device and its drives, set timed remote operations, and receive real-time notifications of any events or errors, saving you valuable time and travel costs.

Flexible Expansion

The TeraStation can be purchased partially-populated, so you can meet your immediate data needs?while keeping the option to expand as you see fit to meet future demands. Better yet, the TeraStation supports iSCSI, and you can leverage it to simply and seamlessly expand your storage to scale with your business growth.?With iSCSI, even if the TeraStation no longer has spare bays for additional drives, you can still quickly and seamlessly expand your storage without having to reconfigure your network.
