Thecus' Booth

The Thecus YES nano N1050 is a portable 2.5-inch hard drive case that gives you more than just portable USB 2.0 connectivity. It's also equipped with one button On-The-Go backup capability which lets you connect compatible OTG devices to the drive for direct transfer of data.

The Thecus N1200 is a single SATA HDD enclosure that comes with network sharing capabilities as well as an integrated download manager that lets you instruct the device to automatically download from HTTP, FTP and BitTorrent sources. It also has a built-in four-port fast ethernet switch and an eSATA port for additional expansion of storage capacity.

On the left is Thecus' older N2100 network attached storage device while on the right is Thecus' latest N2050 direct attached storage (DAS) device. It takes two SATA drives and they can either be setup as RAID 0 or 1. Besides letting one connect to the PC through a standard USB 2.0 port, it also supports eSATA connection - allowing full speed transfers of up to 3Gbps.

The new N5200 has support for up to five hard disk drives and will support RAID 0, 1, 10, 5 and 6. With five of Seagate's latest 750GB SATA hard disk drives in RAID 0, you can have a total storage capacity of up to 3.75TB!
