Buffalo TeraStation III WSS

The TeraStation III WSS is a business-oriented network storage device new from Buffalo in 2010. The TeraStation III WSS utilizes Windows Storage Server 2003 R2 Express Edition, which is specifically geared toward business use (with its focus on workgroup and domain settings).

 The x86 hardware platform is a new feature for Buffalo. This hardware platform allows the TeraStation III WSS to use four quick-swap SATA hard drives. More evidence of the TeraStation III WSS's commitment to business use is the focus on file security here, with Window's NTFS file system enforcing detailed permission conditions to file and folder access. The Active Directory support helps the user search through files for easy system management. Buffalo is promoting the TeraStation III WSS as a cheaper alternative to the traditional SMB. There is a 2TB version for $1599.00, and a 4TB version for $1999.00.
