Thecus N199

The Thecus N199 is a compact, entry-level network-attached storage device designed for use in a small office / home office (SOHO) environment. Although small, the unit is still powerful, as it can stream audio/visual content to both locally and remotely connected users at any time of the day.

In regards to internal storage, the unit is limited to only one SATA interface, but hosts USB/eSATA ports for storage expansion. Once connected via either Gigabit LAN or WiFi (optional), users can listen to iTunes, maintain surveillance with an IP webcam, host a bit-torrent server, or perform a one-touch backup of all externally connected storage devices. It’s especially geared for non-technical users; therefore, server administration can be managed through a web-based interface available from any OS console.
