Thecus N2310 2-bay NAS Review


IMG_7225

There isn't anything particularly inspiring about the aesthetics of the Thecus N2310 – which seems to have been designed from a functional rather than stylish point of view. It is finished predominantly in matte-black plastic, although there is a gloss black saddle which sits around the top and sides of the unit to infuse some excitement into the design.

Looking at the front of the unit we can see the two 3.5″ drive bays which can easily be removed by pulling the tabs at the bottom of each one.  To the right of the bays there is a line of LED indicators for key features including power, drive activity, network activity and USB activity.

Below these we find the power button and a ‘USB copy' button.

Moving round to the rear of the unit we find the I/O connections.  From top to bottom we find a USB3.0 jack, a USB2.0 jack, the RJ-45 Ethernet jack and a DC-in jack.  There is also a vent which lets air flow through the chassis through the exhaust fan.  We would have liked to see Thecus including a USB port of some description on the front of the unit, though.

Removing the drive bays, we can see that there are mounting points for both 3.5″ and 2.5″ drives.  Unfortunately there isn't a tool-less mechanism of any description so both sizes of drives need to be screwed into place.

The Thecus N2310 is powered by 512 MB of RAM and a AMCC APM 86491 processor which is clocked at 800Mhz.  This isn't a particularly powerful processor, but we cannot expect too much at this price point.
