Just in time for Christmas, Thecus is announcing the release of its latest home & SOHO NAS, the N2310. Equipped with an Advanced Micro Circuits Corporation (AMCC) 800 M Hz SoC processor & 512MB of DDR3 RAM, this latest 2-bay device is a great choice for those seeking solid storage solutions on a budget. My little black number Though not as powerful as the N2560 & N4560 released earlier this quarter, the N2310 still packs in a lot of the features of its pricier siblings: &8231;RAID support (0, 1, & JBOD) &8231; Web-based file access &8231; Built-in FTP server &8231; Bit Torrent client &8231; Plex Media support &8231; Mobile control & media streaming via T-On The Go™ (for Android & i OS) &8231;5 minute complete installation &8231; Self-RAID creation &8231; Energy Efficient: 5W Well equipped for a connected life, the N2310 not only offers users access & control of their files over the Internet, but is also able to stream stored media to Android & i OS mobile devices. & if you’re one for sharing & downloading files online, just drop the seed files into the N2310’s Bit Torrent client & watch as this little NAS does the rest. But what about the setup? That’s where our Intelligent NAS utility comes in. Once you’ve connected your N2310 to your home network, simply download & run Intelligent NAS. It’ll automatically find your NAS & allow you to easily set up your RAID or JBOD volume. Once up & running, Intelligent NAS will also allow you to effortlessly connect to the N2310’s operating system, Thecus OS™ 6, where you can monitor, configure, & update your NAS & modules. So besides the comprehensive features & great usability, what else makes the N2310 great for home & SOHO users? Well, when we mentioned that it was a budget friendly NAS, we weren’t only referring to its cost price. The N2310’s AMCC processor & advanced design allow for such a degree of energy efficiency that its day-to-day running costs are near negligible.
