Thecus N4200ECO 4 Bay NAS Enclosure Review

We are testing the hardware within our gigabit network which is pretty much as good as you will get for a home or small office environment. It is a mixed network with several 1GBit switches for ultimate performance.

We switch the Raid configuration to ’0′ across multiple drives to keep the testing across platforms as closely matched as possible.

Performance results are good, the N4200ECO averaged 93 MB/s read with a particularly strong 81 MB/s write speed.

Next we created a folder of files, 500mb/s in size with a variety of data , from small database documents to larger jpgs and bmps.

When dealing with various file sizes the performance understandably drops, however they are still pretty good, and fast enough for a demanding small office or home server system.

  1. Nice looking nice system. im in the market for one and a four bay unit seems the best value for money. this looks fast and I like the front panels. still swaying towards the synology 211 though.

  3. Never understand why companies don’t spend a little more time and money on the software and user guide. I remember the first time I saw a Synology product and was blown away because the software made sense. Thecus has been around a long time, they should make better interfaces. Also, faster reformatting.
