Dubai, United Arab Emirates, 2 May 2007 - Buffalo Technology has expanded the capacities of the TeraStation Live (HS-DH3.0TGL/R5), and TeraStation Pro II (TS-H3.0TGL/R5) to 3TB, due to the rise in digital data being downloaded and stored in home and office environments.
"With the constant rise of Middle East households having access to broadband and the volume of data within businesses growing by 52 per cent a year it is inevitable that users will begin to demand extra storage space in which to keep their content," commented Gerardine Lynch, Product Marketing Manager at Buffalo. "Expanding our TeraStation line to 3TB will ensure that there is enough drive space to store and share up to 500 DVDs or 4000 CDs of data, fulfilling user demand for the foreseeable future at least!"
The TeraStation Live is designed for home users that want to store and share or stream multimedia files such as music, media back-ups, family videos and photos around the home. Its added multimedia features include an iTunes 7 support and Direct Copy functionality. The product is now available in capacities of 1TB, 2TB and 3TB.
The TeraStation Pro II is designed for small and medium sized businesses and home office users (SME/SOHO) that require a cost-effective, high-performance NAS device, which delivers superior performance and reliability. It supports Active Directory integration to allow the TeraStation Pro II to utilise domain users and groups by working as a client member in an Active Directory domain. The product is now available in capacities of 1TB, 2TB and 3TB.
Both of Buffalo's latest NAS devices deliver data transfer rates of up to 35MB/s and feature five operating modes (Standard, RAID 0/1/5/10), ensuring security of valuable data. The advanced RAID features also allow for email warnings when there is a system fault, scheduled RAID checks and continuous monitoring of the file system.
Backed by a limited two-year warranty, the 3TB devices will be available immediately at estimated street prices of USD 2,950 for the TeraStation Pro II and USD 2,799 for the TeraStation Live.
