Thecus Presents N2310 NAS for Home and SMB

The N2310, the entry level home and small office NAS from Thecus Tech Corp is available in North America.

It provides fast file storage for homes and small offices, all while consuming 5W.

Feature Rich
It is packed with features. Support for RAID storage (0, 1, and JBOD) offers speed and reliability. Web-based file access allows users to manage and access their files from anywhere, even another country.

There’s also a built-in FTP server to distribute and share files. The BitTorrent client lets it handle downloads by itself, saving power and freeing up resources on PCs. There’s also Plex Media support, allowing users to manage and stream their media to devices such as the Xbox 360, as well as mobile devices.

Two USB ports allow users to copy photos and video direct from portable USB drives to the NAS, and plug in printers to use it as a central print server for their whole network. In addition, there’s USB 3.0 support to attach high speed external drives for backups and additional portable storage. There’s also support for fast backup to USB-connected CD, DVD and Blu-ray drives, for safe long term archiving of valuable data.

It plugs into standard home networks with a LAN cable. The utility makes it easy for anyone to setup their NAS system. The utility allows users to set up their NAS disks as a RAID or JBOD volume. Once up and running,it also allows users to connect to the OS, ThecusOS 6, where they can monitor, configure, and update the NAS and modules.

Streaming Media and Remote Access
It not only offers users access to their files over the Internet, via their own private secure website, but is also able to stream stored video and audio to Android and iOS mobile phones and tablets over the internet. It makes it also easy to download and share files online, just drop the seed files into its BitTorrent client and watch as this NAS does the rest. There’s no longer any need to leave a PC running overnight for downloading, so the NAS could even save on energy bills – its AMCC processor and design mean it uses far less power than most PCs.

“Not only does the N2310 pack in a lot of the capabilities of larger and more expensive units, but it does so with style,” said Florence Shih, GM, Thecus. “This dashing little black box can store up to 8TB of data with an unprecedented level of energy efficiency. In fact, powering the N2310 for an entire year would only cost you $5.03 in the US.”

Featuring the Plex Media Server, Transmission BitTorrent client, T-OnTheGo mobile support, and performance (over 100 MB/s read and 80MB/s write), It is tailored for home and SOHO users this December.

It supports Windows (XP, 7, 8, 8.1 and Server 2003+), Mac OS X, and Linux.

The NAS is available at MacMall, PC Connection, Insider Shopping, PROVANTAGER, targetPC, Rakuten.com, Antonline.com and Antares Pro for the suggested retail price of $169.99.
