Buffalo TeraStation 5820DN 96TB 8-Bay Desktop NAS Server (8 x 12TB)

The Buffalo TS5820DN9608 is an eight-bay desktop network attached storage system that gives your team a full 96 terabytes of ready-to-use capacity. Out of the box, it arrives pre-loaded with eight 12 terabyte NAS-grade drives, so you can start sharing files and protecting data as soon as it is powered on.

Inside, a quad-core Annapurna Labs AL524 processor working at 2.04 gigahertz teams up with 8 gigabytes of DDR4 memory. This hardware combination keeps large file transfers, database access, and backup jobs moving smoothly across the dual Gigabit Ethernet ports, and you can step up to ten-gigabit networking by plugging directly into the native 10 GbE port.

Multiple RAID modes (0, 1, 5, 6, 10, and JBOD) let you choose the balance of capacity and redundancy that best matches your workflow. Hot swappable drive bays make it simple to replace or upgrade disks while the system stays online, and snapshot technology adds another layer of fast recovery when version rollbacks are needed.

Security has been addressed from the ground up. The unit supports 256-bit AES drive encryption, two-factor authentication for logins, and a TAA-compliant design that meets strict procurement standards. Whether you are storing sensitive client records, creative assets, or virtual machine images, your data remains protected.

For teams running virtualized workloads, the TeraStation holds VMware and Microsoft Hyper-V certifications, which means it can serve as reliable shared storage in production or lab environments. Built-in connectors for Dropbox and Microsoft Azure add a straightforward path to hybrid cloud backups and off-site replication.

Typical users include small and midsize businesses that need a central file server, creative studios working with large media files, and IT departments looking for an affordable repository for virtual machines and snapshots. Place it in the office, the server room, or a branch location and gain high-capacity storage that scales with the demands of daily operations.
