FAQs

Does TeraStation Pro support NTFS?

NTFS is a Windows based file-system and TeraStation Pro does not run Windows. It uses a similar file-system that provides NTFS-like security. Since files are always accessed over network protocols, the file system is irrelevant to the client PCs. Permissions are set on shared folders via the TeraStation Pro web user interface. Permissions can be set as unrestricted, read-only or full access with support for both users and groups.

close

close
How does TeraStation integrate with Active Directory?

The TeraStation Pro supports integration into AD domains. There is no limit to the size of the domain, however due to web site loading times in the interface, Buffalo recommends the TeraStation Pro be used in domains up to ~5,000 users as beyond that, the interface for configuration slows down. The TeraStation Pro WSS models should be used for larger domains.

close
How many users does the TeraStation Pro support?

The TeraStation Pro has no hardware or software limitations to the number of users it supports. It allows and supports unlimited connections over a variety of file transfer protocols. With a powerful dual-core CPU, it is designed for high load, however, depending on application and use, the device can only support up to a certain amount of users. For light office use, supporting hundreds of simultaneous users shouldn't be a problem, but more intensive applications like video, backups, etc. can reduce the number of users.
