Thecus designed the N3200 to be the first home NAS to support RAID 5. The N3200 supports RAID 0 (Stripping, 1 (Mirror), 5 (block level striping with parity data distributed across all member disks), or JBOD (Just a Bunch Of Disks). RAID 0 works by having the data on the medium divided by the number of disks. RAID 1 works by having an exact copy of the data on each disk in the RAID 1 array or s/2 (sum of the capacities divided by number of disks). RAID 5's formula is sum of capacities X( number of disks-1)/divided by number of disks.
In the Thecus N3200 there are three drive bays. An array of three 1TB drives could be made into a single RAID 0 arrays with three drives totaling 3TB, three RAID 1 drives in mirror mode or a RAID 5 array with 2TB of data storage. The N3200's Media Server allows connections to Digital Living Network Alliance compliant devices. DLNA is an alliance that was formed in 2003 to allow connections of various digital devices like the PS3, Xbox 360, HDTVs and more.
The N3200 is designed with clean lines and sophisticated styling to work in the home office or living room. Thecus says and I agree that the N3200 will want to be shown off. Thecus's disk management system is a snap to use. The LCD display allows the N3200 to easily be used even in a living room or other dark area. The last major feature of the system is the Wireless Feature which allows the user to connect to the NAS wirelessly with a USB Dongle. |
