I purchased a 5200 RouStor from Scan in September 2007, to fulfil the need for a RAID capable network storage device for my home network. I chose this product over others due to the feature set you get for the price. I'd recommend this product to anyone looking for a device to hold data for their small office, or home - particularly home entertainment systems. You can fit a lot of music and videos on to one of these devices, and share data easily round your other Ethernet attached devices.
The unit takes 5 SATA hard drives (they just screw into the caddies, which slot in the front - as per the picture). There is varying support of hard drive models, so for the unwary, you need to check the thecus.com website for compatibility. I chose 500GB Seagate Barracuda disks, to give me a raw storage total of 2.5TB.
The unit is smaller than ...
Microsoft Active Directory (AD), Microsoft CIFS, Network File System (NFS), FTP, Server Message Block (SMB), Apple File Protocol (AFP), HTTP, HTTPS
Features
DHCP support, load balancing, wake on LAN (WOL), print server, iTunes server, UPnP Media Server
Compliant Standards
IEEE 802.3ad (LACP)

Manufacturer's product description
The N7700 is an enterprise class NAS server that makes no compromises bringing all the latest technologies to the table. Headlining is its whopping seven SATA hard disk bays. If that isn't enough, the N7700 also comes equipped with an eSATA port where users can install yet another SATA hard disk. To manipulate all of this data quickly, the N7700 packs a selected processor and a full gigabyte of DDR memory, which allows for more concurrent connections and quicker system response.
