Thecus, again departs from dull and drab in the N2310, but not too far. The NAS is seemingly Synology’esque in its outer skin. Up front, there isn’t much going on. You have a pair of quick release drive trays, LEDs for Power, Information, HDD1, HDD2, LAN, and USB connectivity. There is a Power button and a copy button for quick backup.
Around back you have a system cooling fan (ADDA), a single Gigabit Ethernet Port, USB 2.0 and 3.0 ports, a hard reset button, and DC power in.

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.
