Thecus N2310 Soho/Home NAS Server Review

Storage/NAS by stefan @ 2014-08-19

This time we will review an entry-level NAS from Thecus, with an AMCC APM 86491 800MHz processor which is paired with 512MB of DDR3. The device works on the latest ThecusOS version and for storage expansion we have two USB ports, one of which is 2.0 and the other USB 3.0.

For downloading torrents, we can always use the Transmission module:

 

 

 

Piczza is the Photo Album manager supported by Thecus and it works like a regular blog website. With it we will be able to upload our latest photos, organize them in different albums, run slideshows and more:
