email to a friendUnless you're a true RAID monkey and have a room that closely resembles a datacenter, chances are you've not got a RAID-5 NAS device in your house. Thecus has set out to change that.
The company has now officially released its N3200, a 3-disk NAS box designed for home users who want data security, performance, and plenty of space - 2TB using three 1TB drives in RAID-5, for example.
The SOHO NAS box is a tool-less design, making disk installation and swapping a breeze. As with existing Thecus products, it's got USB WiFi support and has a web-management utility.
There's a DLNA certified media server, along with an iTunes server. Thecus has included "web surveillance" that allows you to spy on people while you're not around with a compatible webcam.
We saw an early version of the N3200 back at Computex. Its appearance has changed a bit since then:
With growing numbers of us hoarding music, videos and personal data, and lots of houses containing more than one PC these days, the need for a central, sturdy backup system is there.
We'll see in due course whether the N3200 is up to that task.
Check out Thecus' press release for more details.

What about compatability with their existing module system for the N5200 or N4100?Quote
Did see this at the bottom of the pr that I thought was interesting;
"And because no two users are completely alike, the N3200 also has a unique expansion slot, which will accommodate Thecus’ upcoming expansion cards which extends NAS functionality even further."
Worth keeping an eye on.Quote
