LED'sTestingLots of drives! Once again I will say I’m impressed with the N7700. The speeds alone are enough to make this a “must have”. There are features I don’t need, features I can’t use fully, and features I can&rs...
The performance of the Thecus N7700 was excellent in every test we ran. In the synthetic benchmark tests, the N7700 hit read and write speeds approaching the theoretical limit of its Gigabit Ethernet connection (~115MB/s write, ~110MB/s read) . In the...

Seven bays, Plenty of options and features, OS X setup tool
ZFS implementation should probably be avoided, Cooling system a little loud
The N7700 is one heck of a NAS box — although wed recommend staying away from ZFS due to the FUSE implementation, if you need something to take seven drives and have nowhere to put a rack mount unit, this should fit the bill nicely.
