Thecus N2560 Dual-bay SOHO NAS Review

For either the home or home office, a NAS can be a boon for those looking to have a no-nonsense, feature-rich storage solution. Of course, not everyone has needs for a ton of storage, and in many cases, a simple dual-bay would suffice. And as far as those go, Thecus’ N2560 is definitely worth checking out.

It’s not often that I tinker with storage during my day-to-day work here at Techgage, but I’m pretty pumped that I’ve been given the nod to test out the Thecus N2560 NAS. It’s geared more toward small office/home office (SOHO) users, and since I’ve been eyeing a NAS myself for some time, this gives me a chance to do a bit of research as well.

The N2560 boasts some impressive hardware on the inside consisting of a 1.6GHz dual-core Intel Atom SoC CE5335, and 2GB of DDR3 memory. It supports two hard drives, and allows for JBOD, RAID 0, or RAID 1.
