Thecus N7700PRO and N8800PRO v2 Upgraded to 64-Bit CPU

Thecus Technology Corp. upgrades its N7700PRO v2 and N8800PRO v2 NAS to 64-bit processor to reduce bottleneck and reduce performance.

A 32-bit system demonstrates performance but 64-bit is the solution to solve bottlenecks. It allows the system to calculate and process more data compared to the lesser 32-bit. Ultimately, Thecus upgrades the new 7-bay N77000PRO v2 and 8-bay N8800PRO v2 models to 64-bit. Some benefits of switching from 32-bit to 64-bit: improved performance, capability to process more data at a time, and better overall structure.

In a nutshell, hardware and software development seldom halts; the NAS industry is constantly moving forward and 4GB RAM is becoming a standard. It’s safe to bet that the transition to 64-bit will allow users to get the most performing storage system, with the use of 4GB RAM or over. In addition, users won’t need to upgrade their platform for a long duration since 64-bit is the future and is for smooth NAS operation.

It’s apparent that users who choose a 7-bay or 8-bay NAS are those who manage large amounts of data. As a result, Thecus eliminates possible barriers by utilizing 64-bit on the N7700PRO and N8800PRO v2 models.

Hardware architecture has the ability to hinder the amount of data that is able to process at a given time. For instance, a true 64-bit motherboard requires a true 64-bit CPU, suggested amount of RAM and true 64-bit software for the NAS to engage full throttle. As a result, 64-bit configuration allows more data to be processed at a time.

Using a 64-bit NAS improves performance in many ways such as increased responsiveness, more memory and processing power. NAS users using 32-bit systems face possible bottlenecks, restricts performance to a certain level. For instance, if a system only handles 3GB of RAM, installing 4GB of RAM won’t prove performance gains.
