Ever the innovator, Thecus® Technology has racked up an impressive number of firsts. In 2005, Thecus® introduced the world’s first DAS device with eSATA support, enabling file transfers of up to 3Gb/s. With the N3200 in 2007, Thecus® brought the security of RAID 5 to a home NAS. Today, Thecus® is pleased to reveal the world’s first NAS device with the ability to accommodate both 2.5” and 3.5” hard disks – the N0503.

One look at the N0503 tells you it’s different. Using its special combo hard disk bays, the N0503 can actually support up to five 2.5” hard disks or three 3.5” hard disks. Fill the N0503 with three 3.5” hard disks and the N0503 is a high-performance three-bay NAS with up to 6TB of storage capacity. Equip the N0503 with five 2.5” hard disks, and you have a five-bay NAS unit that offers lower power consumption and noise. With dual form-factor hard disk support, users are given unparalleled flexibility with the N0503.

The N0503 also offers quick system response and file transfer capabilities with its powerful Intel® ATOM™ CPU and dual Gigabit Ethernet ports. Multiple RAID modes including RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, and JBOD are selectable, and auto volume rebuild, hot swap and hot spare capabilities mean maximum data reliability. The N0503 also comes with advanced data protection in the form of disk array roaming and Nsync – Thecus’ remote replication utility. Speedy and secure, the N0503 makes a perfect place to house your digital data.

But storing and securing data is only part of the equation. The N0503 also comes with a slew of advanced features that really take NAS storage to the next level of usability and convenience. With support for an iTunes server, a photo web server, and uPnP AV streaming, the N0503 is an ideal media hub for the digital home. Connect the N0503 to your home network and stream music and movies throughout your house. With the built-in IP camera surveillance server, you can use the N0503 to keep tabs on your home or office for enhanced security, and with included download manager, you can download BT and eMule files during off-peak hours to maximize your available bandwidth and reserve peak hours for other more critical tasks. To top it all off, a slick LCD panel notifies you of critical system information at a glance and a completely revamped AJAX-based web GUI makes the N0503 easier to use than ever.

Equipped with dual hard disk support, advanced data security and strong performance, Thecus® has once again changed the rules of NAS storage with the N0503.

Incredibly Powerful Yet Easy to Use
The N0503 is powered by an Intel Atom processor for excellent system response and data throughput. Plus, the N0503 is extremely easy to manage thanks to an all-new web-based interface featuring AJAX technology.

Secure and Flexible Storage
Your data is secured with support for RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, and JBOD, in addition to multiple RAID volumes. The N0503 can also be outfitted with three 3.5" hard disks or five 2.5" hard disks for incredible flexibility.

A Multimedia Powerhouse
With support for iTunes, a built-in photo album, and uPnP AV streaming, the N0503 makes an excellent addition to the living room. And with very low noise output, it won't disturb you when you're watching your favorite movies or listening to some relaxing tunes.

Save Time and Money
Extremely low power consumption means the N0503 will save you money on your electric bill. Plus, with the included download manager, the N0503 can download your HTTP, FTP, BT, or eMule downloads during off peak hours, so you can save your bandwidth for when you need it most.
