Thecus N4200 4-Bay NAS Dual Power Devices

The Thecus N4200 is not like some NAS devices. It does not boast fancy features most users do not want and will never even bother to try as its major selling point. Rather, this “Zero-Crash with NAS Dual Power” has a penchant different stability. And it is a very clever, actually.

Having recently had my SIN fail on me, I am well aware of the need for stability and reliability of these devices. Although it is very well marry the advantages of network-accessible repository for all your files, but have faith that it will not be up and kick the bucket, leaving those files inaccessible worryingly, is a importance. For my part, I am at least somewhat interested in a NAS that promises not to miss me.

Dual Power There are two main aspects of the inherent stability of the Thecus N4200 ‘Dual DOM’ and ‘. “The use of two DOM means that if one of them suffer from a sense of error, the NAS will still function with the critical system software stored on the secondary DOM which can be overcome back through the main unit. A sub-very neat feature of this option to allow DOM ‘Auto Repair’, which endorses the configuration settings so they will not be lost in case of failure.

The dual power is in the form of a module for Li-ion batteries that can be installed in the rear of the N4200, providing backup power connector in case of power failure. Obviously the battery will not last indefinitely, but if it is a choice between the loss of data or get a mail telling you that there was a failure of AC power, where non-wearing vacuum wiser borrows your NAS socket for a vacuum, I know that I had chosen.

If you have access to an inverter worse, the N4200 can communicate with via the USB or RS232 port. The last inclusion is a notch above the more consumer-oriented NAS devices we’ve watched recently, and this system gives a better chance of integration into a place of business that some of these units.
