Fast, Quiet, Can be used as a media server, as well as a media player thanks to audio/video outputs onboard, Good value
No hibernation mode available to reduce power consumption, Single USB 3.0 port isn't in a very practical location, User interface and add on modules are not the strong suit of Thecus NAS servers, Please drop by the Bigbruin.com Forum and feel free t
The main thing that impressed me about the Thecus N5550 5-Bay NAS server was the transfer rates it was able to put up. Reads and writes consistently topped 100MB/s, and many times it was closing in on 120MB/s. You definitely have the speed to handle anyth...

When it comes to performance, the N5550 is a great device to have. It can be configured to be a very robust storage or backup device, and there are plenty of things to tweak for advanced users. Having said that, it's not a device for the average home us...

Lots of connectivity options (USB2.0/USB3.0/eSATA/HDMI), Supports JBOD, RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10 and Single Disk Volumes, Display on unit lets you see network settings, alerts and more, So many options, Much cheaper than the competition, Media Server / Me
Web interface still needs more polish, Installing software is a bit more clunky than with other products, I would like to thank Thecus for sending over the N5550 for us to review. It was great to see the follow-up to their entry-level unit and to see ho
At the end of the day the Thecus N5550 is a very solid product. What it lacks in smooth and polished web interface it makes up for in performance, value and in features. It is one of the most feature-packed NAS units we've seen and comes it at a lower pr...

Abstract: SOHO or SMB NAS devices have become quite popular these days, with their rich feature set, low cost, and ease of adding large amounts of storage to your network. There are many companies that vie in this market segment, such as QNAP, Synology, LaCie, Info...

With multiple people living at home having a large storage pool is almost a need vs. a want especially if the data is important. With the N5550 the options on how you configure that pool depends on your needs. If the data isn't important and you want the ...
Good Build Quality (Leaving Out The Front Door), Very Good Read/Write Performance, 5 Drive Bays, 2GB DDR3 RAM (Expandable To 8GB By Patching The FW), 2 Gigabit Ethernet Ports (With Link Aggregation), 5 USB Ports (1xUSB 3.0 / 4xUSB 2.0), eSATA Ports, HDMI/
Power Consumption, SATA II, Single USB 3.0 Port,
Thecus has been around for almost 10 years now but until the moment we got their N5550 in our hands we didn't think they could come close to QNAP, Synology and ASUSTOR both in terms of performance and operating system usability always based on what we had...

Abstract: Let's face it, most of the data we want to store on a centralized NAS device is media of some sort: Pictures, music, or videos. If you only have a large collection of Word documents, you can probably back them up to a USB thumbdrive and don't need teraby...
NAS (Network Attached Storage) units have been growing in popularity over the years, due to their ease of use in providing a lot of storage in a compact enclosure, while making redundancy a simple matter of replacing drives when warned. With the HTPC cont...
Hardware steekt goed in elkaar, HDD's zijn op slot te zetten, HDMI en VGA uitvoer mogelijk, USB 3.0 aan de voorkant, Simpele, snelle installatieprocedure, Interne audio kaart, Veel mobiele apps
De interface vraagt de nodige technische kennis om mee te werken
De Thecus N5550 draait heerlijk stabiel, maar heeft een interface die in vergelijking tot Synology/Qnap/Asustor toch wat meer technische kennis vraagt. Daar staat tegenover dat het nog niet zo erg is als op een Buffalo NAS. Op basis van stabiliteit en mo...
