The editors didn't like
Lower performance than other dualcore Atom NASes
Does not support all addin modules
Can't open multiple windows in OS
Availability In The USA (Current)
Thecus OS Needs Much Work
A few minor annoyances with the Web UI
Lower storage capacity might turn off prospective buyers
Be careful which hard drives you choose
As they must be compatible
Messy RAID volume creation. Software utility constantly froze. UI did not reflect correct volume state after RAID recovery. Expensive
Uncluttered UI. Fast Write speed. Data remained intact after drive failure and recovery.
Messy RAID volume creation. Software utility constantly froze. UI did not reflect correct volume state after RAID recovery. Expensive, given its cheap chassis parts
While the specs are impressive on paper, and the unit does turn in a speedy Write performance, we can't recommend this NAS. It looks cheap and with performance that generally matches its appearance, despite a price point that rivals that of more robust a...
Power ConsumptionThe Thecus N2560 is a 2-bay NAS, and most users are going to use it in a RAID-1 configuration. Hence, we performed all our expansion / rebuild testing as well as power consumption evaluation with the unit configured in RAID-1. The disks u...
When compared to other 2bay NAS we have reviewd, the N2650 performs near the top. Although the N2560 isn't as fast as QNAP's TS-269 PRO, I didn't expect it to be. They are devices that occupy different classes and different price points. Having only an id...
Lower performance than other dualcore Atom NASes, Does not support all addin modules, Can't open multiple windows in OS
Updated 8/27/2013The single-chip Berryville / Evansport platform is an interesting animal. Although it still bears the Atom moniker, its single-chip architecture and integrated graphics processor make it more like something from Marvell's Armada family th...
As I write this final page for the Thecus N2560, there are a few things that come to mind. First of all, the software, ThecusOS 6, can be described with a word I have already used before: Functional. The overall GUI is not the prettiest of the bunch with ...
Abstract: Looking to store all of your media, files and backups in one accessible place? A network attached storage (NAS) drive is a great option. But what will suit your needs?ADAM TURNER and ANTHONY CARUANA take a look. Linked to cloud storage Single drive; n...
Fast transferring large files, Reasonably attractive design, Tool-less drive installation
No dynamic, expandable RAID, Incredibly basic setup (no wizards), Weak build quality, Noisy
On paper the Thecus N2560 is not a bad product. It is reasonably priced, well specified and looks pretty good. The problem is on closer inspection the N2560 has limited RAID options, is too noisy and too difficult to setup for the mainstream user it targe...

Abstract: NAS devices are the all-in-one kitchen appliance, the jack of all trades of the home network. They can do one thing, they can do many things, and often you don't even need all of the features. While it's great to own a £350 top-of-the-line model, it doe...
Pleasing to the eye, Great hardware specification, Solid performance, Flexible feature-set, HDMI port, Easy to set up
Lack of 2.5” storage support, Not very energy efficient, Operating system requires work
Having mostly reviewed NAS products from another vendor it’s a breath of fresh air spending time with another brand. Thecus is under 10 years old and yet they have demonstrated they are force to be reckoned with.On the hardware side, the N2560 is pres...
