5.0 out of 5 stars A 5 disk Raid NAS at a reasonable price, July 7, 2009

By	bobh "curmudgeon" (Arcadia, CA USA) - See all my reviews

I have now installed 3 of the Thecus N5200 Servers and all of them have installed and worked with absolutely NO problems.

This is one of the few RAID servers that use 5 Disks. Most in this price range use only 4. This means that when running RAID 5 you lose only 20% of the total disk capacity to parity rather than the 25% that is lost with a four disk array.

In addition RAID 6 is supported using two of the disks for parity and giving an additional level of safety.

Some reviewers have said that the cooling fans are noisy, but I have not noticed any obtrusive noise. The noise level is about the same as the average desktop Windows PC. The unit is also small so that is is easy to locate it some distance away from your primary system.

The data on the system is easily shared with Windows, OS X and Linux.

All in all a reliable way to store several Terabytes of critical data safely.
