USB 3.0: from optional to mandatory
Thecus already launched 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 is embedded by default. The N2800 has one USB 3.0 port, which are at least 10 times faster than USB 2.0.

New Intel Atom CPUs are designed to work without fans. This will reduce noise and power consumption of the NAS. Associated with amounts of DDR3, those Atom will provide better performance. Reaching the limits of Gigabit bandwidth on a ‘small NAS’ is already possible, thanks to the N2200XXX. It gives you also multi-users environment, web hosting, backup, data encryption, application serving, RAID computations and HD multimedia streaming, thanksto multi-tasking.

HDMI output
After installing the proper module, plug a screen on HDMI output, a mouse and keyboard on USB ports. You don’t need computer anymore to check on your NAS. You can for instance directly watch videos or browse Internet from your NAS to your compatible device. For small installations and/or mobile users, this feature is designed to lower the TCO of the network architecture.
