Thecus N4100PRO NAS Server
Powered by the AMD Geode™ LX800 processor and 256MB of DDR400 memory, the N4100PRO delivers the raw horsepower required to transfer files quickly and efficiently. With updated hardware and a ton of performance improvements, the data transfer speed of N4100PRO doubles that of the original N4100! Four 3.5" SATA hard disk bays enable up to 4TB of storage, and users can manage this space with an updated list of RAID mode selections, including 0, 1, 5, 6, 10 and JBOD. The N4100PRO also offers advanced RAID management features, including RAID expansion and RAID level migration for ultimate flexibility. To top it off, the N4100PRO comes equipped with a big, bright LCM module, which displays useful status messages such as IP address, date and time, and RAID status, making it easy for users to keep an eye on the condition of their N4100PRO. With features like these, the N4100PRO is easier to manage than ever.
Of course, raw performance is nothing without reliability, and the N4100PRO delivers this in spades. On the back of the N4100PRO are two Gigabit Ethernet ports that come with network bonding in fail over mode. With this feature, the N4100PRO can automatically switch to its second Gigabit Ethernet port should the first one fail for any reason. To ensure quality of service, the N4100PRO also comes equipped with link aggregation with 802.3ad and load balancing. The result is a zero network downtime and increased reliability for N4100PRO users.
The N4100PRO also brings a huge selection of useful features to the table. To keep multimedia moguls happy, the N4100PRO can act as a media server, iTunes server, and photo web server at the drop of a hat. The included download manager makes it easy to schedule and download BT, HTTP, and FTP downloads during off-peak hours, and IP Cam support allows users to turn their N4100PRO into a home surveillance unit. The N4100PRO can mount ISO files and share them across the entire network, and users can even further expand its functionality with module support.

I purchased this with a pair of Western Digital 2TB drives. So far this has performed way beyond my expectations. The web interface was clean and simple to use, and the performance was great. With the additional modules that you can install from the Thecus website, or 3rd party modules, such as SSH, this is able to deal with pretty well anything you can throw at it. I can currently write to it about 20MB/s and read at close to 35MB/s. |

I've been generally impressed with this product. Like another review said, getting permissions set is a bit of a challenge but other than that I like it. I'm particularly fond of the LCD status panel and the fact that it has been running for quite some time with 4 @ WD RE3 750 GB drives and the temp is barely 100 degrees F. My home built NAS RAID box was HUGE and the drives generally ran 15 - 20 degrees hotter, even with supplemental cooling. My goal is to sell it to a client who needs lots of reliable storage on his network with drive redundancy. The initial RAID build took a long time...that's why I let it do its thing over the weekend. |

What You Should Know

What is RAID?
RAID is an acronym first defined back in 1987 to describe a redundant array of
inexpensive disks, a technology that allowed computer users to achieve high
levels of storage reliability from low-cost PC hard disk drives, via the
technique of arranging the devices into an array for fail-safe redundancy.
"RAID" is now used as an umbrella term for computer data storage schemes that
can divide and replicate data among multiple hard disk drives. The different
schemes/architectures are named by the word RAID followed by a number, as in
RAID 0, RAID 1, etc. RAID's various designs involve two key elements: increased
data reliability or increased input/output performance. When multiple physical
disks are set up to use RAID technology, they are said to be in a RAID array.
This array distributes data across multiple disks, but the array is seen by the
computer user and operating system as one single disk. RAID can be set up to
serve several different purposes.
Organizing disks into a redundant array decreases the total usable storage
capacity. For instance, a 2-disk RAID 1 array loses half of the total capacity
that would have otherwise been available using both disks independently, and a
RAID 5 array with several disks loses the capacity of one whole disk. Other
types of RAID arrays are arranged so that they are faster to write to and read
from than a single disk.
There are various combinations of these
configurations giving different trade-offs and benefits of protection against
data loss, capacity, and speed. RAID levels 0, 1, and 5 are the most commonly
found, and cover most of the typical requirements.
- RAID 0 (striped disks) distributes data
across several disks in a way that gives improved speed at any given instant. If
one disk fails, however, all of the data on the array will be lost, as there is
neither parity nor mirroring.
- RAID 1 mirrors the contents of the
disks, making a 1:1 (1 to 1) ratio real-time backup. The contents of each disk
in the array are identical to that of every other disk in the array.
- RAID 3 uses a striped set with
dedicated parity or bit interleaved parity or byte level parity. This
mechanism provides fault tolerance similar to RAID 5. However, because the strip
across the disks is a lot smaller than a file system block, reads and writes to
the array perform like a single drive with a high linear write performance. If
one drive fails, the performance doesn't change.
- RAID 5 (striped disks with parity)
combines three or more disks in a way that protects against data loss of any one
disk. The storage capacity of the array is reduced by the capacity of the one
disk (all disks are of equal size).
- RAID 6 (striped disks with dual parity)
can recover from the loss of two disks.
- RAID 10 (or 1+0) uses both striping and
mirroring. ("01" or "0+1" is sometimes distinguished from "10" or "1+0": a
striped set of mirrored subsets and a mirrored set of striped subsets are both
valid, but distinct, configurations.)
