Title: Thecus N7710-G NAS Server Review ( -at -) NikKTech

Description: Network attached storage devices/servers (NAS) keep gaining

ground over mini PC systems build solely for non-gaming purposes and no

matter how one sees it this was a long time coming since their advantages

simply can't be ignored. NAS devices/servers are smaller in size, consume

much less electrical power, work right out of the box with pretty much every

application you'll ever need (and for free), allow the end user to install

multiple drives in RAID effortlessly and are far easier to setup compared to

normal PC systems. According to some people the largest drawback NAS servers

have is their graphical user interface (GUI) or web interface as others call

it but right now there are several high-end Intel based NAS servers in the

market that support multiple OS installation (yes including Windows) via

virtualization so there's always a solution for the more demanding users. In

order however to do everything you'd ever want with a NAS server you need

high/ultra-high end hardware and although a couple of years ago choices were

quite limited today in the market one can find powerful such devices that

even support 10GbE for extremely I/O intensive workloads. One such NAS

Server is the N7710-G by Thecus so after equipping it with a total of 6

Seagate Enterprise Capacity V3 3.5 4TB SATA III drives (unfortunately we

don't have 7) and using it for roughly a week we can now share our findings

with all of you.
