Thecus N7510 Review

Thecus brings performance and style together into one beautiful brushed aluminum package.  The N7510 features 7 drive bays and tons of file transferring goodness. The new look of the Thecus lineup’s exterior is left lonely by the dated but still functional administration.  The web interface has everything you need in various categories, but it lacks the panache and polish you get from other NAS.  Whenever I perform any system maintenance, I feel like Marty McFly.

Thecus-N7510 (8)

The N7510 does look good, and it performs as well as NAS that cost nearly twice as much.  The Intel D2701 CPU teamed up with 2GB of RAM and the Intel 82801JI SATA AHCI Controller keep data moving quickly through the dual Intel Corporation 82574L Gigabit Network Cards.  The benchmarks show that this NAS can hang with the big boys.

When you put it all together and slap it with a price tag right around $700.00 USD, you get a NAS that is almost impossible to pass up.  Given its price tag, the lackluster UI is something I can easily live with.  If you are in the market for a speedy NAS that has great looks and plenty of 3rd party support, you need not look much farther.

This NAS is very inexpensive and performs as well as those that cost twice as much. The new look is a welcome departure from Thecus of old.

ASUSTOR AS5008T Review

ASUSTOR has become one of my go to manufacturers for NAS. They have made some great NAS at some very affordable prices. Naturally, as time goes on, components are less expensive for consumers and for manufacturers. This allows NAS makers to pack more power into their storage appliances without increasing costs. In some cases, we are finding more powerful NAS at lower costs. To compliment this decrease in costs, production ramps up, R&D ramps up, and product enhancements increase. Ok, the point of all that? ASUSTOR has released a new 8-bay NAS, gave it more power, slapped a new name on it, and... lowered the cost. Enter the AS5008T.
