Storage/NAS by stefan @ 2015-03-06
The latest N4310 SOHO/Home NAS from Thecus is a visible upgrade over their low-cost N2310, both outside and inside; the hardware has been beefed up regarding the number of USB 3.0 ports, we’ve got more internal RAM and the SoC frequency (AMCC APM86491RDK) is now 1GHz instead of only 800MHz.
On the bottom layer, we will find the main product, carefully protected by thick foam and also a transparent plastic bag:
When compared with the N2310, Thecus has went this time with an all-black metal chassis instead of plastic, which is easy to open for maintenance:
In the front we have four numbered HDD trays, while on the left we have the status SSDs along with some additional buttons:
By looking a bit closer, we will discover the Power LED along with the Status LED, further down we have the HDD activity LEDs for each bay, one LAN activity LED but also an USB activity LED; lastly we will see the USB Copy button along with the Power button:
On the metallic sides of the chassis, we will be able to see the printed Thecus logo:
In the back side of the unit, Thecus has placed two USB 3.0 ports, one LAN port, a small Reset button hole, but also dual DC-IN ports (main and backup). The 92mm cooling fan sits in the middle and on its right side we’ll get to see one Kensington port along with a small fan router; additional close-up photos are also available down below:
On the bottom side of the unit we will see some additional air grills along with the product serial number sticker:
