Thecus N3200Thecus is renowned for their high quality Network Attached Storage (NAS) boxes and with the release of the N3200 Thecus looks to have outdone itself.

Not only does the N3200 boast high data security and strong performance figures, but with its elegant black finish and blue LCD, this NAS box is quite a looker too.

Along with its Gigabit Ethernet ports, the N3200 has three 3.5" SATA bays for drives for up to 750GB (per bay), an eSATA port at the rear and 2 USB 2.0 ports at the front. There is even a small LCD display on its front used for configuration and status display. For those with a phobia for wires, the N3200 can even attain 802.11B/G wireless connectivity via optional USB dongles.

 

The N3200 supports RAID 0, 1, 5 and JBOD with hot swappable drive bays and supports Microsoft Windows NT/2000/XP/2003/Vista, Unix/Linux/BSD and MAC OS X/OS 9/OS 8.6.
