Included HDD Capacity 32TB (4 x 8TB)

Model Fully Populated

  • Ready-to-use 32 TB storage with four pre-installed 8 TB drives
  • Quad-core 2.0 GHz processor handles demanding file workloads
  • Flexible data protection via RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10 and JBOD
  • Faster network transfers through 2.5 GbE and 1 GbE ports
  • Expand capacity or attach peripherals with two USB 3.0 ports

Four-bay NAS with 32 TB included

The Buffalo TeraStation 3030 arrives populated with four 8 TB drives for 32 TB raw capacity. A quad-core AL-524 processor and 2 GB DDR4 handle RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10 and JBOD. Dual Ethernet ports provide 2.5 GbE and 1 GbE links, while two USB 3.0 ports allow external expansion.

Suits small offices needing ready-to-use storage

This unit fits teams that want a pre-configured array with hardware RAID and a 2.5 GbE uplink. It does not suit buyers who need 10 GbE connectivity, more than four drive bays, ECC memory, or a rackmount form factor.

2.5 GbE uplink plus 1 GbE port

The single 2.5 GbE port is the fastest network interface on the device. If your infrastructure requires 10 GbE or link aggregation across multiple high-speed ports, this NAS will not meet that requirement.

Questions about this item

How often do the four 8TB drives need to be checked or replaced in RAID 5 or RAID 6?

The unit ships with four 8TB SATA drives rated for continuous operation; SMART monitoring via the web UI will flag reallocated sectors or rising error counts before a drive fails.

What limits throughput first when the 2.5GbE port runs sustained large-file transfers?

The Annapurna Labs AL-524 2.0GHz quad-core processor and 2GB DDR4 memory become the bottleneck before the 2.5GbE link saturates during heavy RAID 5 or 6 parity calculations.

How loud and hot does the TS3430DN3204 get when it runs 24/7 at 33.88W?

Two temperature-controlled fans keep the chassis within the 0–40°C spec; at typical office ambient the noise stays at a low hum and the front-panel LEDs show drive activity without extra lighting.
