Thecus Technology, a company that specializes in IP Storage Server solutions, such as NAS devices, has recently announced the introduction of its new seven-bay network attached storage solution, the N7700PRO. Built on the company's experience with the N7700, the world's first seven-bay NAS Device, the new N7700PRO is said to deliver the same support for increased storage capacities, while providing customers with improved performance, reliability and flexibility. The new storage solution adopts a high-speed processor, coupled with a high memory capacity to provide support for
managing the unit's seven drive bays.
“Powered by Intel Core 2 Duo technology, the N7700PRO is one of the most powerful NAS devices in our arsenal,” said Florence Shih, Thecus Technology general manager. “We are thrilled to bring the N7700PRO to users worldwide, and invite hardware enthusiasts and enterprise users everywhere to experience just what is possible with Thecus engineering.”
The new Thecus NAS has been designed to take advantage of an Intel Core 2 Duo processor, typically found in personal computer systems, coupled with an impressive 4GB of DDR2 800MHz memory, a solution that makes the N7700PRO the company's most powerful NAS unit. In addition, the unit also features a built-in PCI-Express slot, which can be used to add a PCI-E 10Gb Ethernet adapter, enabling the N7700PRO to reach data transfer speeds of over 300MB/s. The NAS offers support for up to seven 3.5-inch SATA drive bays and can accommodate up to 14TB of storage space.
Additional features include support for multiple RAID configurations, including RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10 and JBOD, support for multiple file systems, as well as multiple operating systems. The unit also boasts a dual Disk on Module (DOM) design, which enables the second DOM to automatically reprogram the primary DOM, in case this fails. Unfortunately, there's no word on pricing at this time.
