Thecus OS 6
One of the major transformations to the Thecus NAS range is the upgrade to OS 6. Over OS 5, the new layout is set to be far more intuitive and easy to use for both advanced users and novices alike. From the NAS login page, the main screen presents us with options for amending shard folders and RAID management and everything else is handled through a control panel that appears in a separate window, giving access to each of the individual admin features that the NAS has to offer.
The previous generation OS 5 offered a menu system that ran down the left hand side of the screen, an whilst the OS 6 has a far cleaner approach to its layout, it’s still just as easy to use as before.

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.
