Thecus N0204 miniNAS Networking
Thecus does not mince words with his last N0204 Mininas as it claims, is the world’s smallest storage NAS. We certainly will not disagree on its compact dimensions of only 132 x 88 x 63mm means it will fit in your hand, your bag and even your pocket.The N0204 advantage of the latest 2.5 “SFF (small form factor) SATA hard drives and can handle a pair of them when they are placed in removable media slot in the rear. The device supports JBOD, stripes and mirrors and it you can hot-swap a failed drive.
Opinions are divided on the use of floppy mini-PC as when we considered the observations of four tiny bay Synology DS409slim have been posted on the forums where players thought they were “stupid and costly.” Certainly, it is always a price to pay for miniaturization SFF drives, but have distinct advantages over 3.5in drives.To start, they run much cooler allowing the N0204 to be fanless and almost silent. They also consume less energy. Avec une paire de 250 Go WD Scorpio Black lecteurs installés, nous avons mesuré le N0204 sucer pas plus de 11W. So, if you do not want to wave your storage capacity around in public and only buy what you need then reasonably SFF drives have much to offer.
The frame is round vents to facilitate cooling during testing and we found that although it became hot to the touch, the device has never been warm. We checked the web interface regularly over a period of one day and he showed the reader will never temperatures above 43 degrees celcius. Power Management is also available so you can rotate the players down after periods of 30 minutes and two hours and, in this action, we have seen fall in consumption of 6W.
Given its size, the N0204 offers adequate precision of a SoC Oxford EHR 810 (system on chip) in the driver’s seat, with 128 MB of memory. Gigabit LAN is seated at the back and you have USB ports front and rear. The one forward linkages with the left button backup above and pressing it copies the contents of the device attached to a predefined folder on the device.
Thecus has installation down is an art that the configuration wizard bundled offers a one-click setup. For the test system, it has created a mirrored array, automatically install the operating system and created a group of predefined service files ready for use. [via trustedreviews]
