Totally Unreliable

Reviewed By: Tiger on 11/15/2009

Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year

Pros: New, clear, browser interface. Able to build a 12TB RAID array in about 12 hours. Files transfer from local hard drive to array at over 60MB/sec.

Cons: I have five of the Thecus N5200's which have been working for years with no major problems. It is very disappointing that this new product lags so far behind in reliability.

Other Thoughts: The N7700 is currently provisioned with seven Seagate 2TB hard drives which ARE on the approved drive list. I am also using the most recent firmware. After about two weeks one of the drives is showing 3 pending bad sectors. This small error has caused the NAS to crash three times, and I am now on the second attempt at rebuilding the RAID 5 array. No actual data loss so far.

When I first got the N7700 I tried using WD 2TB hard drives (not on the approved list) with the same problems as mentioned previously, but with much more frequency and finally total loss of data.

This product just isn't ready for public release!

Read HDD Compatability List

Reviewed By: Beck on 10/27/2009

Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year

Pros: Multiple modes, from NAS to iSCSI. Largest drive bay count in the price range, allowing 10TB usable under RAID6 w/ 2TB drives. Can be part of a 'stack set' with other Thecus units (including another 7700 to provide a 20TB data sink!)

Cons: User Manual a little hazy in spots, but Thecus support is quick.

Other Thoughts: The comment about WD drives in this NAS is suspect, simply because NO 2TB WD drives have EVER been on the Thecus 7700 compatibility list. The only 2TB drive fully 'confirmed' is the Seagate LP, although most vendors bundling this unit with 2TB drives are using the Hitachi (currently about to be blessed by Thecus) as their 'drive of choice' (Hint: go with Hitachi)
