A little bit ago, last week actually, I looked at the Thecus N4200, and it’s a great NAS box.. but if you though Thecus only made NAS related things you’d be wrong. They just introduced what is essentially a high-end USB 3.0 enclosure called the D0204. It can hold two 2.5” drives, either regular hard drives or SSDs and you can configure them in raid 1 or raid 0. So what you can have is a very fast USB3.0 device or one that offers the great security or mirroring for your data. This looks like a great product really and it’s backwards compatible with USB2 and USB1. They also offer a combo kit where you can get the D0204 and a PCIE USB3.0 card if you don’t already have it on your computer. I like it..
The age of USB 3.0 is almost here. Today, storage leader Thecus Technology is proud to announce its first portable storage device featuring the new USB 3.0 standard – the D0204. With massive storage capacity in a tiny package no larger than a paperback book, the D0204 delivers impressive data security and performance with an integrated USB 3.0 port, making it the most powerful and versatile portable DAS on the market.
The D0204 is a small and compact direct attached storage (DAS) device. Wrapped in a housing measuring a mere 86mm x 55.3mm x 132mm, the D0204 may appear to be a mere portable hard disk at first glance, but peering inside this tiny form factor reveals a powerful storage unit.
