HD Playback & Record
The HD playback and record test now put the drive under the same single record and playback tests as before, but now at the same time. This will factor for the quick changes needed to switch between reading and writing two large blocks of data across the network to the device.
what a bargain price, oh wait you didn’t say…
It says in the conclusion:
“As I highlighted above, the system is not that expensive to purchase – in fact it is highly affordable for what it is and when it comes to market later in the year in November, it will be hitting the shelves for around £269, whilst the N2520 which has slightly less DRAM at 1GB and a 1.2GHz SoC is set to sell for around £230 inc VAT. Pair this with a pair of hard drives, which themselves are become more affordable and you have a small compact system that won’t upset the bank manager whilst keeping all your files in one convenient location and also offering up media centre capabilities via XMBC.”
Thanks.
Yet another thecus review with no XBMC test. This is like the 4th review online with no media playback review.
The main selling point of these SoC NAS is the hdmi port so you can use this as a media player.
Staring to think this is on purpose as its not that good.
