Conclusion:

The N5200 is simply an excellent file server with almost every option you can think of and then some for what you might need to transfer and hold files. There might be a slight learning curve but for people who need it there is a lot to get out of it. That said of course you could also try building your own but that doesn't come with the software the N5200 features which is very impressive in it's own right.

Pricing:

The N5200 does have a fairly high sticker price though so it won't come cheap or be a purchase for most who don't need it. For those who can afford it or need NAS though the Thecus N5200 is a great buy. The cheapest price we could find was $639 at Newegg.
