Abstract: There's a lot to like about the Thecus N2310 NAS. For $149, you're getting network-attached storage with an impressive feature set. Performance is also impressive; it has the second-fastest read I/O speeds among NASes I've tested in the consumer/SOHO clas...

We have had the Thecus N2310 set up and running for several months and, perhaps we owe Thecus a bit of an apology for being so late in this report. This fact, in itself, provides a big compliment for Thecus as the N2310 was that easy to set up and forget...

The Thecus N2310 is a really cheap NAS and if you only want to use it as a big hard drive on the LAN network this will probaably be enough, but if you want to have a fast NAS with a lot of options I would not recommend this. I my eyes you better pay a 100...

At the most essential level of a networked storage drive, the N2310 performed flawlessly. It was easy to create a storage array and the NAS ran reliably during the three weeks I ran it at home. Between multiple PC's and a couple of MacBooks it was always...

Abstract: The team at Thecus have created a network-attached storage unit that's both extremely simple to set up and looks the part of a non-assuming piece of technology. While some NAS units looks like massive hunks of metal, this mostly-plastic unit looks plain, ...
