YES Box N2050 Wins Think Computers’ Editor’s Choice

Outstanding design and performance snags 9 out of 10 score

08/14/2006 – With the capacity for two hard disks and an eSATA interface, the Thecus N2050 allows users to store a ton of data and get to it quickly. Editors at Think Computers recently tested the Thecus N2050, and were extremely impressed with its sleek design and impressive performance, awarding it a score of 9 out of 10, and their coveted Editor’s Choice Award!

The N2050’s data transfer performance is second to none: “The results were impressive in support of eSATA. I was hesitant of whether this new external data transfer standard would really be all that it's been worked up to be, but it certainly was - and more!…The external drive is running at faster data transfer and random access speeds than my internal ATA100 drives. That right there is a remarkable feat, given that most people with external drives are currently using USB 2.0 and limited to the extent at which it can transfer. The advance RAID capabilities and features put into this Thecus drive really do show off how much better performance a drive with all these features would perform compared to any other external drive without them.”

The design of the N2050 is impressive: “This drive has everything you could want and more in an external enclosure. I haven't seen anything this well built that has not only RAID capabilities on two drives inside the enclosure, but also components that help this perform better than most internal drives...The entire thing looks smooth and runs smooth. It's quiet, it has a fan for cooling, and it has bright LEDs in the front. It looks like a miniature box with metallic painted sides and, although a bit bulky, will fit in on any desk.”

The conclusion: “This external drive from Thecus is one of the best external drive options with great features to add upwards of 1TB of data to your computer. The deluxe edition with the PCI eSATA card is worth every penny more to get and use eSATA and its incredibly high speed transfers rates. This enclosure is an all around excellent product from Thecus. Recommended for any and all external expansion needs. ThinkComputers gives the Thecus Y.E.S. Box N2050 RAID External Hard Drive Enclosure a 9 out of 10 and our Editor's Choice Award.”
