How to install BUFFALO TeraStation WS5220

Setting up the WS5220 is straightforward and designed for IT teams and non-technical users alike. Follow these steps to configure fast, secure access to shared data:

  • Unbox and position: Place the NAS in a well-ventilated area with adequate airflow. Keep it within reach of your network and a power outlet.
  • Connect to the network: Use the included Ethernet cable to connect the WS5220 to a switch or router on your office network. Ensure the network is on the same subnet as the admin computer.
  • Power on and locate the device: Plug in the power supply and power up the unit. Use your router’s connected devices list or Buffalo’s discovery utility to identify the device’s IP address.
  • Access the web-based management interface: Open a browser and navigate to the NAS IP address. Log in with the default administrator credentials provided by Buffalo’s setup guide.
  • Configure storage and RAID: In the storage management section, confirm the pre-installed 8TB drives, select RAID 0 for performance or RAID 1 for redundancy, and create volumes to match your organizational needs.
  • Set up users and permissions: Create user accounts and groups, assign access rights to shared folders, and integrate with Active Directory if your environment uses AD for authentication.
  • Enable file sharing and protocols: Enable the required sharing protocols (SMB/CIFS for Windows workstations, NFS or FTP if needed for cross-platform access) and create shared folders with appropriate access controls.
  • Configure backups and automation: Set up scheduled backups to local USB drives or to network destinations, configure automatic copying, and establish restore points to safeguard critical data.
  • Secure and monitor the device: Enable HTTPS for the web UI, set strong passwords, configure firewall rules if necessary, and set up alerts to monitor drive health and NAS performance.

Quality No Show Socks That Are Comfortable and Durable
Size: Large, Color: (100) White / White / Black
These Under Armour no show socks are great for everyday training and casual wear. The cotton blend feels comfortable and they stay in place throughout the day. Getting six pairs in a pack is solid value for a quality brand. They hold up well after multiple washes and the no show style works great with most athletic shoes. A reliable go-to sock.

Comfortable
Size: Large, Color: (001) Black / Black / White
I recently picked up a pair of Under Armour socks, and they’ve quickly become my go-to choice for daily wear and workouts. From the first wear, the fit felt snug and supportive without being too tight. The fabric is lightweight yet durable, and it does a great job wicking sweat — keeping my feet dry even during longer runs or intense gym sessions. One of the things I appreciate most is the arch support and cushioning in the right places. It adds just enough padding where I need it, especially under the ball and heel of the foot, which makes a noticeable difference on days when I’m on my feet a lot. The socks also have a nice breathable mesh pattern that improves airflow.

LOVE THEM!!
Size: Small, Color: (001) Black / Black / Castlerock
LOVE! These socks are so comfortable! I wear a 5 in women's and a 3 in big kid shoes. The small fit me perfectly. I see where some say they run small but I can't say that was an issue for me. They are "snug" but thats what you want with a no show sock. I feel they have support vs the ones i used to buy at Walmart. They are very soft! I am actually buying more today and throwing my other ones in the trash!

So will not write down your foot
Size: Medium, Color: (001) Black / Black / Castlerock
I love these socks. They have a little bit of gel on the top of the heel for support in your tennis shoes and so your socks don’t write down. Very good quality.
