Buffalo TeraStation Essentials 2025
Score: 78/100Rankings
The Synology DiskStation DS925+ is a high-performance 4-bay NAS powered by an AMD Ryzen V1500B CPU, dual 2.5 GbE networking, and ECC memory with M.2 NVMe caching. It lacks native 10 GbE and requires a separate expansion unit for additional bays. Targeted at small businesses and prosumers needing scalable, reliable storage.
Buffalo's TeraStation Essentials 2025 provides 16 TB of pre-configured RAID-5 storage with 2.5 GbE networking and enterprise-grade security features. The modest 2 GB RAM and 2.0 GHz quad-core CPU may constrain demanding applications, and power draw peaks at 85 W. Best suited for small businesses seeking an all-in-one secure NAS.
