3.5 Terabyte NAS Reviewed

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the thats-a-whole-lotta-naked dept.

Steve Kerrison writes "Thecus' new N5200 NAS can hold five SATA drives, which with currently available drives means up to 3.5TB (or 2.75TB in RAID-5) of storage before formatting. From the review: '£600. That's roughly what this will set you back, minus hard drives. Add in five 750GB drives and you'll be forking out a number closer to two thousand. However, act a bit more modestly and you can still have a terabyte (even in RAID-5) for under a grand.'"

    I just got an external 500 gig from newegg. Price? 230 real dollars.
    $230 * 4 (redundancy to prevent data loss) = ~$1000 for 1TB.

    If you don't mind losing your data then this product is not for you. We can also ignore the performance difference between 4 individual USB drives and a single network attached device.

    I guess with all the ads crammed on to the page, they don't have room for a pic of the actual piece of hardware they are reviewing.
