- Is the TeraStation 3430DN good for a small office?
- Yes, if you need shared folders, backups and iSCSI without complexity. It is less suited to media serving or running many apps.
- Does it come with drives?
- Yes. This model ships with 4TB of storage installed, so you do not buy drives separately.
- Can I upgrade the drives later?
- Yes. It has four bays and supports SATA drives, so you can swap in larger disks and rebuild the RAID.
- How does it compare with a Synology or QNAP?
- It is simpler and more limited. Those rivals offer far more apps, better interfaces and stronger CPUs, while Buffalo focuses on basic file serving and backup.
- Does it support 2.5GbE?
- Yes. It has 2.5GbE ports, but you need a 2.5GbE switch and client to see the speed gain.
- Can it run virtual machines or containers?
- No. It has no container or VM support, so use it for storage and iSCSI targets instead.
