Synology DiskStation DS212 2-Bay NAS Server Review @ Bigbruin.com
|
 It is almost unfair to call Synology`s DiskStation DS212 a NAS server. It is capable of so much more than simply providing network attached storage, that a different classification should be established. Sure, it does a great job as a NAS, but owning one simply to serve files on a network would be like buying a really nice Swiss Army knife just for the tooth pick."

Thecus N5500 5 Bay NAS Server Review @ Legit Reviews
|
|
The last Thecus NAS I reviewed was the N4100Pro back in January of 2009. Since then Thecus has come a LONG way on their NAS interface. The Thecus N5500 layout is nicely laid out and very intuitive. The configuration of the unit from first discovery to formatting the RAID was less than 15 minutes"

Review: Thecus N5200XXX
|
|
Thecus has been on a winning streak lately with the introduction of some new
products in their lineup. The N4200PRO proved to be a very competitive product
and the introduction of the N8900 gave us power hungry enthusiasts with
something to salivate over. Although the four bay N4200PRO delivered top notch
performance and incorporated a built-in mini UPS, it was still missing
something... another drive bay! Enter the Thecus N5200XXX.

Synology DS212 2-bay NAS Server for Workgroups and Offices Review
|
|
The DS212 NAS Server from Synology is a feature rich product with good performances, which integrates their own DSM (DiskStation Manager), really easy to use, with applications like Audio Station, Photo Station, Download Station and can be used as a mail server, to host websites and more. The enclosure is actively cooled and the HDDs can be easily removed from inside the product by pulling out the trays (however, the HDD installation is not screwless, the disks needing screws to be mounted onto the trays).

Thecus N2200XXX NAS Server Review @ DragonSteelMods
|
|
One of my favorite products are NAS boxes, I?m not sure exactly why. I think it?s the fact that they?re just so useful. NAS boxes are much better than just an external hard drive ever could be that?s for sure. Thecus is a company that?s well known for their NAS systems, they make some of the best on the market. They?ve recently introduced a new line of NAS servers called XXX, the X?s stand for Xtreme Power, Xtreme Function and Xtreme Value. Today for review I?ve got the latest NAS server from Thecus called the N2200XXX, so let?s just get into it as we?ve got a lot to cover. "

Thecus N8900 8-Bay Rackmount NAS Review
|
|
The NAS market has really heated up this year. Personal, corporate and service based cloud computing have brought a new vigor to the industry. At the same time, reductions in cash flow have left companies asking for more features and expecting them at lower prices. The global war on energy and fossil fuels is driving power requirements down and putting a new emphasis on power efficiency. To meet the large list of demands, NAS manufacturers needed to go back to the drawing board, rethink their strategies, evaluate their designs from a new perspective and then finally execute with a laser like focus on the key areas that have emerged as features required for the next decade. SATA / SAS 6Gb/s RAID, 8GB system memory, eight HDD bays, second generation Core i3 processor, PCIe all with HDMI and audio multimedia capabilities. You might think I`m talking about your dream PC, but these are just some of the features found on Thecus` new N8900 enterprise NAS server. The N8900 is a new breed of NAS that ushers in next generation features. These features will eventually become standard on most of these product types - three years from now. The N8900 is an advancement in technology, a one small step for man type of thing. The N8900 is revolutionary more than it is an evolution of an old design."

Migrate Away from Windows Home Server Drive Extender Guide @MissingRemote
|
|
As previously noted, I`m working on upgrading the server in my house, which currently runs Windows Home Server (v1). While I don`t plan to use Windows Home Server 2011 for anything but backups, this guide should assist others who are thinking about how to upgrade WHS to WHS 2011, particularly migrating all your data out of the drive pool. This process will also work if you intend to move to any alternative drive pool solution, such as FlexRAID, unRAID, FreeNAS, or the couple of 3rd party add-ins for WHS 2011. To prepare for the move away from the WHS Drive Extender (DE) technology, since it was so unceremoniously ripped out of WHS 2011, the very first step I needed to take was to discontinue the use of DE for, at least, SageTV. The rest of the data, such as music, photos, and other documents take up but a fraction of the space, so the bulk of the work will be getting all my SageTV recordings and ripped videos out of DE and into individual folders/drives. *"
