Shared Storage That Small Businesses Can Actually Manage

Buffalo builds NAS systems, external hard drives, and optical drives that centralize file sharing with built-in RAID protection, automated backups, and management interfaces that small and mid-size teams can administer without dedicated IT staff. The TeraStation and LinkStation product lines cover everything from single home-office backup devices to multi-bay rackmount units for growing businesses. Pair Buffalo storage with networking equipment and servers for integrated data infrastructure.
