My little black number
Though not as powerful as theN2560andN4560released earlier this quarter, theN2310still packs in a lot of the features of its pricier siblings:
-RAID support (0, 1, and JBOD)-Web-based file access-Built-in FTP server-BitTorrent client-Plex Media support-Mobile control and media streaming via T-OnTheGo™ (for Android and iOS)-5 minute complete installation-Self-RAID creation-Energy Efficient: 5W
Well equipped for a connected life, the N2310 not only offers users access and control of their files over the Internet, but is also able to stream stored media toAndroidandiOSmobile devices. And if you’re one for sharing and downloading files online, just drop the seed files into the N2310’sBitTorrentclient and watch as this little NAS does the rest.
But what about the setup? That’s where ourIntelligent NASutility comes in. Once you’ve connected your N2310 to your home network, simplydownloadand run Intelligent NAS. It’ll automatically find your NAS and allow you to easily set up your RAID or JBOD volume. Once up and running, Intelligent NAS will also allow you to effortlessly connect to the N2310’s operating system, ThecusOS™ 6, where you can monitor, configure, and update your NAS and modules.
So besides the comprehensive features and great usability, what else makes the N2310 great for home and SOHO users? Well, when we mentioned that it was a budget friendly NAS, we weren’t only referring to its cost price. The N2310’sAMCC processorand advanced design allow for such a degree of energy efficiency that its day-to-day running costs are near negligible.
“Not only does the N2310 pack in a lot of the capabilities of larger and more expensive units, but it does so with style,”noted Florence Shih, General Manager at Thecus®, proudly.“This dashing little black box can store up to 8TB of data with an unprecedented level of energy efficiency. In fact, we calculated it, and powering the N2310 for an entire year, say in the US, would only cost you $5.03.”
Featuring the new Plex Media Server, Transmission BitTorrent client,T-OnTheGo™ mobile support, andimpressive performance(over 100/80MB/s read/write), theThecus®N2310is the perfect choice for home and SOHO stockings this December.
