Beginning with the venerable N4100 to the legendary N5200, Thecus NAS devices have established the company as a worldwide leader in digital storage. Today, Thecus is proud to release details about its latest NAS breakthrough – the N7700. Bringing together the cutting-edge technology and years of NAS experience, the N7700 is an enterprise class NAS server that makes no compromises.

The N7700 brings the latest technologies to the table. Headlining is its whopping seven SATA hard disk bays that accommodate up to a massive 7TB of storage. If that isn’t enough, the N7700 also comes equipped with an eSATA port where users can install yet another SATA hard disk. To manipulate all of this data quickly, the N7700 packs an Intel® Celeron™ M 1.86GHz processor and a full gigabyte of DDRII memory, which allows for more concurrent connections and quicker system response.

To address the needs of business, the N7700 comes with a few more outstanding features. The N7700 supports iSCSI initiators, making it easy for users can centrally manage and deploy storage for their entire network. In addition, the N7700 is also stackable, enabling users to connect their unit with up to five additional N7700s and manage them via a master system. To manage all of that storage, users can look forward to multiple RAID modes on the N7700, including RAID 0, 1, 5,6,10, and JBOD. What’s more, the N7700 also features RAID expansion and RAID level migration, which means that users can add larger hard disks to available slots and join an existing RAID without having to power down the system, cutting productivity-killing downtime to zero.

The N7700 also extremely flexible, offering support for ext3 and ZFS file systems. Users can select the system that they require and create the needed capacity for different applications. For ultimate data security and peace of mind, users can take advantage of the N7700’s version control and remote replication. The N7700 is also equipped with Nsync, Thecus’ remote data backup application. With Nsync, users can have the N7700 automatically upload files to an external storage device at a designated time. The N7700 is also capable version control via a snapshot function with the ZFS file system, allowing users to efficiently create and restore remote backups.
 

Features
Stackable Storage and iSCSI Ready
The N7700 supports iSCSI initiators, which allows servers to access it as a direct-attached-storage device over LAN or Internet with excellent transfer speeds. With this capability, users can centrally manage and deploy storage for their entire network. In addition, the N7700 is also stackable, enabling users to connect their unit with up to five additional N7700s and manage them via a master system. With iSCSI and stackability, expanding the capacity of application servers is both quick and easy.
Speed Without Compromise
Equipped with a PCI-e interface, the N7700 provides even faster response and more concurrent connections. Also, with built-in compatibility with external modules, the N7700 can execute and run multiple applications at the same time, allowing it to handle a whole lot more than mere file storage.
RAID Expansion and RAID Level Migration
The N7700 features RAID capacity expansion and RAID level migration, which means that users can add larger hard disks to available slots and join an existing RAID volume. The N7700 will automatically rebuild your RAID array and increase your storage capacity.
Multiple File System Support
To meet upcoming standards and ensure maximum compatibility and flexibility, the N7700 offers support for ext3 and ZFS file systems. Users can select the system that they require and create the needed capacity for different applications. Never has there been a NAS unit this powerful and flexible.
Version Control and Remote Replication
The N7700 is also equipped with Nsync, Thecus’ remote data backup application. With Nsync, users can have the N7700 automatically upload files to an external storage device at a designated time. The N7700 is also capable version control via a snapshot function with the ZFS file system, allowing users to efficiently create and restore remote backups. For users, the result is total data security and peace of mind.

5 of 5 Great Value, great support Monday, November 09, 2009
thereddog from Chicago, IL  

Overall very happy with this unit. We are running a small VMWare cluster and have integrated into Active Directory. I email a question to the support team and provided a detailed email with the correct answer within a few hours. **Note: Upgrade the firmware s soon as you receive the product as the old web interface and the new web interface are like night and day.

5 of 5 Very fast NAS Wednesday, March 25, 2009
A Customer from San Jose, CA  
I used Thecus N5200B in our office before. Just bought Thecus N7700 and is again impressed. N7700 has the best features with the lowest price compare with any other NAS brand. It's easy to use and VERY FAST. I used 5 HDD as Raid 5, and 2 HDD as backup and they works flawlessly. The tech support is also very helpful on answering all my questions before I decided to buy it. Again, excellent job from Thecus.
