THE CUS N1200 SINGLE-DRIVE NAS
The first-ever NAS we took a look at was a dual-bay Thecus N2100. We are returning to those roots today by now taking a look at the single-bay N1200. We were pleased to see that Thecus once again delivered a well-built NAS that's not only strudy, but packs in numerous useful features as well.
introduction
What once was a distant hope, 500 GB drives and higher have come down to a price that almost anyone can afford to purchase, and BYOD NAS companies have been close behind offering their goods for anyone interested.
While NAS is available in many different varieties, ranging from single disk to multiple, RAID 5 capable machines, we are looking at another single drive box, the Thecus N1200. While most NAS boxes allow simple Ethernet connectivity with an additional USB or eSATA port for expandability, Thecus has taken the conventional set of connectivity and thrown it to the wind. Coming equipped with a four port 10/100 switch, the N1200 adds to its value by providing extra connectivity for those that could use the extra ports.
