Buffalo has added a couple of new NAS appliances to its portfolio. The TeraStation TS5400D (4-bay) and TS5200D (2-bay) are aimed mainly at small business users, and feature dual-core Atom processors and lots of fast DDR3 RAM. They also boast a completely new user interface.
Buffalo is unusual in that it ships its NAS boxes pre-populated, which makes them expensive, but at least it removes the headache of drive compatibility.
I've written a short piece for ZDNet UK about the 4TB version of the TS5400D, but below are three of the performance charts from
Passmark Performance Test 7.
The TS5400D costs £850 for the 4TB version.

The 2GB of memory and dual-core/4-thread CPU help give good performance in the Web Server workload test |

A surprisingly good result in the workstation workload test |
