Buffalo has just put the finishing touches on its new TeraStation (TS-XEL/R5) series of NAS devices.

The family comes in 2, 4 and 6TB capacities with the enclosure supporting up to four SATA HDDs in RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10 modes. Of course, it also supports hot swapping and Apple's Time Machine and sports Active Directory integration. Connectivity for extra storage is possible via two USB 2.0 ports and the unit can be connected via dual Gigabit Ethernet.

The first shipments will begin in Japan this month at prices of $946, $1,180 and $1,535 for the 2, 4 and 6TB models respectively.
