Thecus Technology Corp. marked the beginning of a new production year by launching an offbeat multi-task NAS – the N2810. The model is targeting to solve a wide spectrum of assignments; however, it might become an ideal solution for a demanding multimedia system. The all-black case is estimated for two 3.5-inch HDD drives which can be swapped thanks to dedicated buttons on the front panel. Sales are scheduled for February 2016.



Thecus N2810 is developed on Intel Celeron N3050 (Intel Braswell, 14 nm) CPU with 6 W TDP. Its base clock frequency makes up 1.6 GHz, while efficient index might achieve 2.16 GHz. The CPU cooperates with 2 GB of DDR3 memory. Interestingly enough, the customer is free to expand RAM to 8 GB, if necessary.

Thus, the latest Radeon RX 550 Pulse features 640 SP instead of 512 as in case with typical samples. The ultimate GPU clock reaches 1,071 MHz.

 

The storage subsystem may be represented by 2 GB or 4 GB of GDDR5 memory with the 128-bit bus and the 6 GHz effective frequency. The graphics adapter is chilled by a relatively small cooler, supplied with an aluminum heatsink and the 90 mm fan. Image output is conducted via the DisplayPort 1.4, HDMI 2.0 and DVI-D ports.
