One-year warranty is short, PCI-slot does nothing, Takes forever to build a RAID 5 array.
The N3200 is attractively priced at around $300 (street). Unfortunately, there’s only a standard one-year warranty. While I think it lacks the polish of a device such as the Drobo, it works very well and is simple to use. While some may say that...
Thecus is targeting the SOHO user or Home Office user with the N3200 NAS file server. With a price online of around $320, Thecus has done what it has set out to do. The N3200 supports up to 3 TB HDDs with a compatibility list on Thecus's website. Note ...
ldquo;All that and a Bag of Chips,” is what we said and were sticking to it. In the N3200 NAS, Thecus has provided the home or small business user a device that can not only secure data, but broaden access to it on a network. Thecus focus on the m...

The Thecus N3200 3-Bay SOHO network storage system is much more than a typical network attached storage device, and is something like a Swiss Army knife of networking and storage functionality. In addition to making sure your important data is well lo...
Excellent read and write performance; flexible RAID configurations; ability to mount ISO files; eSATA port; supports up to six USB devices at a time; LCD for quick management; runs cool and quiet.
Bundled backup software is worthless; inconvenient initial setup; takes a long time to build a RAID 5 setup; requires screwdriver to install hard drives; short one-year warranty.
If you can get by the lackluster bundled software, the empty three-bay Thecus N3200 offers much to like, including lightning fast throughput (even in RAID 5) and a useful feature set that will appeal to home and small office users alike. Price range: $...

Thecus Backup Utility could use some improvement
The Thecus N3200 is a fine example of what a home networked area storage device should and can be. With features galore, it packs quite a punch. While many users may not need or use all of the features that that this unit has, its nice to know that t...
Currently we are using the Thecus N3200 primarily as a file server and a backup system, the device has been configured using three 750GB hard drives which have 32MB of cache each. The larger size caches contribute to data transfer rates far superio...

The Thecus N3200 is an excellent choice for a Network Attached Storage appliance, it offers numerous features and of course RAID 5 security for you data. The basic setup is very easy to get it up and running on your home network, in no time youll hav...

The N3200 is slower than some other drives on offer, but its performance was about same as a four-drive Iomega StorCenter 150D. It offers innovative functions and is easy to use. So considering the fair price, the Thecus N3200 is a clear winner that o...
