Final thoughts and rating
The Thecus N2200XXX is one of the best-performing two-bay NAS solutions we've ever tested.
Armed with a 1.8GHz dual-core Intel processor and DDR3 memory, it's able to hit read and write speeds in excess of 100MB/s, and combines excellent performance with a strong set of features that make it suitable for home or office use.
Sure, the user interface can feel a little rough around the edges, but few two-bay NAS servers offer this blend of performance and functionality.
The £350 price tag might limit its appeal to power users, and yes you could build your own server for less, but if you're in the market for a high-powered out-the-box solution that's quick to setup and easy to maintain, Thecus's N2200XXX should be on your shortlist.
The Good
Excellent performance
Brimming with features
Easy setup
The Bad
User interface feels rough around the edges
Fan can be noisy
