The Buffalo TeraStation WS-WVL/R1 is a two disk consumer network attached storage (NAS) unit manufactured by Buffalo Technology. It is very similar to the Buffalo TeraStation TS5400 but appears to be using a generation older CPU and memory.
This unit was first made available from around 2012.
| CPU | Intel Atom D510 1.66GHz (Dual Core) |
|---|---|
| RAM | 1x 2GB DDR2 800MHz SODIMM |
| Chipset | ? |
| Disk | 2x SATA II, AHCI |
| Network | 2x Marvell Technology Group Ltd. Yukon Optima 88E8059 |
| USB | 2x USB 2.0, and 2x USB 3.0 |
| Serial | 1 rear serial port |
| Video | 1 VGA output |
I ordered this unit from Ebay for $55 including shipping. This unit is very different from the TS4500. The main motherboard resides on the bottom of the unit rather than on the side.

Searching around, the sk98lin driver is what is required to get the network to work.
