Buffalo's CES Announcements

More Stuff

Maybe I missed the announcement, but it looks like Buffalo has quietly released a rackmount TeraStation. The TeraStation Pro II Rackmount supports 4 SATA drives in a 2U height rackmount chassis and comes in 1, 2 and 4 TB capacities.

Buffalo has finally gotten with the program and made the drives hot-swappable for all five RAID modes (0, 1, 5, 10, JBOD). Other features include both AD and DFS support, FTP server, two USB 2.0 ports for storage expansion and the ubiquitous (at least for Buffalo storage products) Memeo backup client software.

This one is already out and it looks like the 4TB model will cost you around $2,000.

Buffalo couldn't have known about the past few days' HD-DVD brouhaha when it was prepping its MediaStation Blu-ray HD DVD drive. Buffalo says its the first device of its kind to both read and write Blu-Ray discs and also reads HD-DVD discs.

The drive connects via USB 2.0 and will be available this quarter at an estimated street price of $649.

Since I'm covering non-networked products, I should also mention the release of the 320GB MiniStation TurboUSB. It joins the rest of Buffalo's ultra-portable USB drive line and is available now for $229, estimated street.
