Buffalo describes the TeraStation 5810DN as a high performance, large capacity NAS solution for businesses.

The desktop device features a single native 10GbE port and NAS-grade hard drives for what the company claims is easier integration and higher overall system quality. 

It is available as an eight-bay unit with either four or eight hard drives included. The four drives are partially populated (16 TB and 32TB) while the eight drives are fully populated (32TB and 64TB).

Other features include 4GB DDR3 ECC RAM, certification for VMware ESXi 6.5(NFS & iSCSI), and a quad-core Annapurna Labs processor.

Buffalo adds that the 5810DNs “premium” components are housed in a durable metal chassis, and that an “industrial grade” internal power supply offers higher quality and ease of use.

The device also has RAID pre-configured for what’s claimed to be faster and more consistent deployment. Supported RAID levels include JBOD/0/1/5/6/10.

In addition, it offers simultaneous NAS and iSCSI target functionality as well as Rsync support to enable users to backup the devices to an existing rsync-compatible Buffalo or non-Buffalo device, and vice versa.
