The Thecus N2560 NAS is a home and office Network Attached Storage device that supports two 3.5" hard drives. Despite having solid hardware and a compact sleek design that looks good in your living room, the N2560 is ultimately marred by a software...

On paper the Thecus N2560 is not a bad product. It is reasonably priced, well specified and looks pretty good. The problem is on closer inspection the N2560 has limited RAID options, is too noisy and too difficult to setup for the mainstream user it targets. For the money, there are better options elsewhere.

When compared to other 2bay NAS we have reviewd, the N2650 performs near the top. Although the N2560 isn't as fast as QNAP's TS-269 PRO, I didn't expect it to be. They are devices that occupy different classes and different price points. Having only an...
