Additional registration for software
Lack of front USB slot
Firmware update trashed our device
Noisy operation
UI needs more description
Details
User privileges not fine-grained enough
Can't assign admin rights to other users
Drive trays
Webbased interface
Not user friendly
Few apps
Slow loading/opening apps and files on the desktop
Fan fairly loud
I had some issues to install the software with the Intelligent NAS program and I also could not get DDNS working
Mobile apps not optimized for newer device
Can't expand from single disk to a RAID level without losing data
The interface slows down with many clients
And I encountered severe problems with more than three clients
No support for HDD standby (spin-down)
Although Thecus speaks of 5 W consumptio
Android app doesn't work at all
Fan can be overly loud
Limited number of apps available
Fairly loud overall
Can't migrate from single disk to RAID without erasing data
From a performance vs. price perspective the Thecus N2310 is a real winner. Its primary competitor is still the Synology DS214se which costs a little over 20% more at $160. The DS214se also comes loaded with an 800MHz SoC, the tried and true Marvell Armad...

This is aimed towards a lot of users- both general and power users who want a lot of storage space. The form factor, design and the functionality of the Thecus N2310 NAS unit is able to reflect that. I sense that a lot of HTPC users who have limited stora...

There is so much more I could do with the Thecus N2310. There just is not time for me to test every feature of the NAS. With that being said, I have used many other high dollar NAS systems in the past, and the N2310 lives up to its name. From the sleek lo...
Abstract: Can you think of a NAS worth buying that costs less than $150.00 USD? I bet you would have a hard time answering that question. I have reviewed a slew of NAS and can't answer that question, until now. Thecus has done what many have considered as the impos...

The entry-level N2310 NAS from Thecus is featuring a different all-plastic chassis with support for both 2.5'' and 3.5'' drives. Thanks to the installable wizard, the setup can be done quite quickly, which can also include RAID creation. The motherboard i...

The Thecus N2310 2-bay NAS server is a solid option if you are looking for a 2-bay device that doesn't waste your time and money with fancy extras and just gets down to serving your files. While I prefer to have more drives in order to implement a more ro...
The power consumption of the unit under various scenarios and the RAID rebuild time (for the one applicable case - RAID 1 reconstruction) are provided in the table below. These numbers were obtained while using the 4 TB WD Re disks. The unit has a MSRP o...

Though simple on the outside and speedy on the inside, the N2310 NAS drive presented one iffy firmware update (and one opaque user interface) too many. We can recommend it only to the savviest and most patient NAS veterans. Read More…...
