The good:
  • Both OS X and Windows software available
  • Gigabit Ethernet WAN & LAN with load balancing and teaming
  • Support for eSATA external drives
  • USB for external drives and printers
  • Modules offer powerful flexibility
The bad:
  • Data check of hard drives shows no completion meter
  • Check the hard disk compatibility list before purchasing, does not support all drives
  • UI needs a usability overhaul
The bottomline:

The Thecus N5200 Pro is definitely a higher end NAS, and will benefit power users and tweakers a lot more than entry-level users.

Editors’ rating:

8.5/10
