Thecus has expanded its range of Enterprise-orientated rackmount NAS devices with the launch of the N8800.
The N8800, pictured below, boasts "blazing-fast performance" and is housed in a 2U unit that provides room for eight SATA hard disk bays and a total certified storage capacity of 8TB. If that doesn't meet your needs, five N8800s can be stacked together and managed via a master system.
On the inside, users will find an Intel Celeron processor and 1GB of DDR2 memory are powering the unit. The specification may sound familiar, and that's because it's essentially an N7700 in a 2U shell. With more room to manoeuvre, Thecus has squeezed in an additional drive bay, bringing the total to eight and hence the N8800 name.
There's support for a variety of RAID modes, including RAID 0, 1, 5,6,10, and JBOD, as well as hot-spare, hot-swap and auto-rebuild functionality.
The Thecus N8800 is available to pre-order from Scan.co.uk at a cost of £1,507, and further product information can be found at Thecus.com.
