  • XFS and Ext3 supported, Supports ZFS for easy snapshots, Dual DOM should keep hours of operation high, Updated interface, Expandability
  • Loud, Not configured to DHCP out of the box
  • Thecus' N5500 is, like all of Thecus' lines, best suited to the professional user who doesn't mind tweaking with the unit to get the most out of it. Editors’ rating: 8/10
