Can't migrate from single disk to RAID without erasing data, Must be on same subnet as workstation, or use static IPs, Chassis screws located under adhesivebacked feet, Drive trays and bays not labeled 1, 2, etc.

No iSCSI, Does not support all Thecus addin modules, rsync backup didn't work, Slow attached backup

Price, Nice looks, Good build quality, Connectivity options, Easy initial setup, Rich feature set, Flawless media playback
Vibrations and noise (if you are sensitive), ThecusOS 6 not mature, Help section needs updating, Mobile app could use refinement
The Thecus N2310 NAS Server is a budget oriented solution; just looking at the plastic construction will give it away - no fancy aluminium enclosure here. The build quality is however, pretty good, great value doesn't necessarily mean a cheap product, and...
