Awards/Reviews

Media: PC World | Country: Hungary
“The thoroughly designer, solid Thecus NAS gives space for up to two 4TB SATA drive to be inserted in lockable trays. Inside the machine, you’ll find a very powerful Intel Atom D2700 processor which offers plenty of power for a small business as well. The frontal USB 3.0 port can be defined to fun auto-copy jobs, the rear ports can be used to connect a printer or even a UPS. The rear HDMI and VGA outputs independently manage the NAS after the installation of the Local Display module and USB mouse and keyboard.”

“The N2800 also contains within it a large number of features, among which unlock the possibility to use the NAS as a media center, full compatibility with iOS and Adroind devices as well as the convenient USB fast COPY button.”

“The Thecus N2800 is a highly attractive offer in terms of its hardware platform. It features a dual-core quad-threaded x86 CPU with a clock rate of over 2 GHz and 2 GB of (upgradable) system memory. besides that, it also has a PCIe slot, two Ethernet controllers and video outputs.”

“The Thecus N2800 NAS is the best rival in the double bay SOHO/SMB market, with leading hardware, complete software and expandable possibilities.”

Media: Hartware.net | Country: Germany
“Under RAID 1 (mirroring) the write rate with 116-118MB/s is nearly constant. The maximum read speed is unchanged and is about 100MB/s between RAID 0 and RAID 1, thus with almost no difference in speed.”
Overview
The N2800 is the successor of the N2200XXX. Keeping the SD card reader and elegant LED design, the N2800 has been tweaked after user’s demands.
The N2800 will be one of the first Intel® Atom™ D2.13GHz based NAS! Multimedia-oriented, powerful, silent and well-designed: this NAS is very versatile. Connect it to the TV of the living room to play HD content and/or use it as a backup center for a couple of computers in your small office, possibilities are endless!
USB 3.0: from optional to mandatory
Thecus was the first to launch NAS compatible with USB 3.0 for early adopters. Now that the technology has matured and more USB 3.0 devices exist on the market, it was time to embed it by default! The N2800 has one USB 3.0 port, which are at least 10 times faster than USB 2.0.
3rd generation Intel® Atom™ CPU: silent power
New Intel® Atom™ CPUs are designed to work without fans. This will dramatically reduce noise and power consumption of the NAS.
Associated with large amounts of DDR3, the new Atom™ will provide much better performance. Reaching the limits of Gigabit bandwidth on a “small NAS” is already a standard in the industry, thanks to the N2200XXX, but what if (and you will) want your NAS to give you more? Multi-user environment, web hosting, intense backup, data encryption, application serving, heavy RAID computations, and HD multimedia streaming: welcome to the world of smooth multi-tasking!
HDMI output: removing the middle man
After installing the proper module, just plug a screen on HDMI output, a mouse and keyboard on USB ports and here we go, you don’t even need computer anymore to check on your NAS! You can for instance directly watch videos or browse the Internet from your NAS to your monitor. (*will be available with a FW update by end of June.)
Ideal for small installations and/or mobile users, this feature is designed to lower the total cost of ownership of your network architecture.
