Introduction

 

When it comes to Network Attached Storage devices there is no need to look any further than Thecus® Technology. In their rather short history they have not only been the go-to company for NAS devices, they have also become a true innovator with a number of firsts under their belt. In 2005 they introduced the world’s first DAS device with eSATA support, enabling file transfers of up to 3Gb/s. Then in 2007 they came up with the design for the N3200, which was the first device that brought the security of RAID 5 to a home NAS.

 

Never one to sit on their laurels Thecus® Technology is once again introducing a first, this time it is the Thecus N0503 Combo NAS. Using its special combo-bays they can now offer a system that will allow the user to choose which configuration they chose, either three 3.5" hard drives or five 2.5" 2.5" hard drives backing if perfect for those that like to change things to something different.
