  • When I got the N5550 in and got it out of its shipping box, to see a brown box with a sticker on it did surprise me a little bit, especially going by the colourful and info packed exterior to the N4200 Pro that was looked at earlier in the year. At this p...

  • When it comes to performance, the N5550 is a great device to have. It can be configured to be a very robust storage or backup device, and there are plenty of things to tweak for advanced users. Having said that, it's not a device for the average home us...

  • Système de double-DOM, Performances de haut niveau, Écran LCD pratique
  • Réactivité de l'interface, Prix dans la moyenne haute, Gestion HDMI perfectible
  • En remplaçant le N5500 par le N5550, on ne peut pas dire que Thecus fasse preuve d'une très grande originalité. Certes, la compatibilité USB3.0 est au menu et un port HDMI apporte un certain confort dans la diffusion de contenus vidéos, mais ce n'est clai...

  • Betrachtet man das Thecus N5550, so hat man das Gefühl, dass ein semiprofessionelles NAS mit Video-Ausgängen und Soundanschlüssen ausgestattet wurde, um es für die Mediaplayer Freunde attraktiver zu machen. Dabei steht der Intel Atom auch so dem N5550 seh...

  • sehr gute Geschwindigkeit, Platz für fünf Festplatten, niedriger Preis, solide verarbeitetes Gehäuse, Interessanter HTPC-Ansatz
  • Webinterface ist verbesserungswürdig, Festplatten sind nicht gedämmt, Lüfter ist laut, Benchmark
  • Insgesam liefert Thecus mit dem N5550 ein grundsolides NAS. Es bietet Platz für fünf Festplatten und kann damit jede Menge Kapazitäten zur Verfügung stellen. Die Geschwindigkeit für den Dateizugriff kann sich ebenfalls sehen lassen. Die Verarbeitung des...

  • Hardware steekt goed in elkaar,  HDD's zijn op slot te zetten,  HDMI en VGA uitvoer mogelijk,  USB 3.0 aan de voorkant,  Simpele, snelle installatieprocedure,  Interne audio kaart,  Veel mobiele apps
  • De interface vraagt de nodige technische kennis om mee te werken
  • De Thecus N5550 draait heerlijk stabiel, maar heeft een interface die in vergelijking tot Synology/Qnap/Asustor toch wat meer technische kennis vraagt. Daar staat tegenover dat het nog niet zo erg is als op een Buffalo NAS. Op basis van stabiliteit en mo...

  • Ben je op zoek naar een NAS met veel mogelijkheden en uitstekende prestaties, maar heb je het bedrag dat Synology en QNAP vragen er niet voor over? Dan biedt Thecus met de N5550 een prima alternatief. De producten van die twee andere fabrikanten zijn w...

  • Тестирование Thecus N5550 оставило вполне определенные впечатления: конечно, эта модель имеет собственные недостатки, свойственные всей серии, такие как не очень удачное решение с дверцей корпуса, громкий вентилятор охлаждения, но с другой стороны Thecus...

  • Наше сегодняшнее знакомство с новым сетевым накопителем можно разделить на две части — с NAS Thecus N5550 и с универсальным для всех NAS Thecus программным комплексом ThecusOS. И от того, и от другого знакомства остались только самые приятные впечатлени...

  • Hög prestanda, Utrymme för fem hårddiskar, Prisvärd, Bra chassi, Intressant HTPCfunktion
  • Webbgränssnittet bör förbättras, Hårddiskarna är inte isolerade, fläkten är för bullrig, Lite dålig tillgänglighet och rätt varierande priser
  • Sammantaget är Thecus N5550 en mycket solid NAS. Med plats för fem hårddiskar är det möjligt att erbjuda en hög lagringskapacitet. Prestandan för filåtkomst är också ganska hög. Kvaliten på chassit och komponenterna är godkänd, även om vi skulle ha önsk...
