TS Hardware and Software information

From NAS-Central Buffalo - The Linkstation Wiki

How can I find out which Terastation I have?

• By looking at the design + color of the case

TS TeraStation	HD-HTGL
HS TeraStation Homeserver	HS-HTGL
TSPRO1 TeraStation Pro	TS-TGL v1
TSPRO2 TeraStation Pro II	TS-HTGL v2
TSLIVE TeraStation Live	HS-DHTGL
TSES TeraStation ES	TS-XETL
TSPRO2RACK TeraStation Pro II Rack	HS-DHTGL/R5

The TS and the HS are the same from the hardware point of view.

What about the differences in hardware between the different Terastations?

*1: the original Terastation and the Terastation Homeserver are identical from the hardware point of view. You can identify them from each other by the small red HS logo at the bottom right of the front panel. The original terastation has PCAST media server integrated, but the HS features a Mediabolic DLNA compatible Mediaserver in addition to PCAST.
