The trouble with many of the NAS solutions (and this doesn't apply solely to Thecus) is not the feature set, nor the drive support, rather the performance. It seems many a NAS has a decent feature set, but is woefully underpowered. There's no point having a terabyte of storage if you can only read it off at ~6MB/s over that Gigabit network link. The latest (and topmost) in Thecus' line of NAS products is the N5200. It frees itself from the shackles of the XScale processor and adopts the x86 architecture via an Intel Celeron M CPU. With space for five SATA drives and a CPU that promises much-improved performance, will the N5200 prove a winner in our tests? Read on to find out..
