Advantages: Good price, excellent expandability Disadvantages: Some HDD compatability issues to watch out for
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.

Advantages: Brilliant interface, Excellent apps and capabilities, simple to use Disadvantages: Crashes quite a lot if you are doing a couple of things
from the app store which is great if you have very little money! ;)
I have had this ipod for nearly a year and i have had no problems with it apart from the frequent crashes when using safari. Another problem is that you need to buy a protective casing because the metal piece on the back gets easily scratched which gets really annoying!
Overall, this is the best technology gadget i have ever had and does a hell of a lot, i can't recommend it enough!
Summary: I would recommmend to absolutely everybody! ...
Advantages: fantastic guide, brilliant in depth explainations very thorough Disadvantages: none!
I am aspiring Motorsport engineering undergraduate and i have found Hilliers book of fundamentals of motor vehicle technology (part one) priceless in teaching me about the anatomy of a car. It gives in excellent detail everything my inquiring mind has needed in the build up to my course. It begins with the very basics reasoning why chassis are like they are, why the drive is at the back in most cars, why steering is only for front wheels etc, and leads very well into more complex components.
It explains in leyman's terms and builds up vocab and technical ability as you go through, very thorough and very well written book which covers the following chapters in very very good detail, with a vast range of components and concepts explained:
Chapter One: Vehicle evolution, structure and layout
Chapter Two: Engines
Chapter Three ...

Manufacturer's product description
Thecus N1200 is a device that combines storage and networking into one convenient device. With the N1200's RouStor Technology, users can enjoy the benefits of Thecus' renowned network storage with the convenience of a 4-port switch built-in. Now, expanding a network and increasing storage capacity has never been easier. The N1200 comes with one standard-sized 3.5" SATA hard disk bay, allowing users to choose the amount of storage capacity that suits their needs. The N1200 is also the world's first one-bay NAS device to support both 2.5" and 3.5" hard disks. Users can use 3.5" hard disks for maximum performance and better cost savings, or they can opt for 2.5" hard disks for quieter operation, lower operating temperatures, and lower power consumption. If that's not enough, users can also utilize the N1200's speedy eSATA and two USB 2.0 ports to easily increase capacity when they need it. Its 45mm x 181mm x 160mm space-saving dimensions mean that the N1200 fits easily on a desk without monopolizing real estate, and a built-in Kensington lock security slot ensures that the N1200 stays where you left it. The one-touch copy button makes it easy to back up your files from digital cameras or USB flash drives, and handy LED indicators keep you informed of the N1200's status at-a-glance. Of course, the N1200 is more than a simple NAS solution. Part of Thecus' RouStor line of products, the N1200 also has a 4-port 10/100 switch in addition to a Gigabit Ethernet port built right in. With the 4-port switch, users can easily expand their network at the home or office without the need to purchase separate networking components. With the N1200, users can upgrade their networks and their storage capacity in one easy step. What's more, the N1200 is compatible with PCs, Macs, and Linux boxes, which means that different computers on the network can easily backup their data regardless of operating system.

With multiple connectivity options and multiple OS support, users can share, store, and access their data more conveniently than ever before. The N1200 also comes equipped with an Embedded Media Server from Mediabolic. The software resides on the N1200 and aggregates personal media so that it was can be accessed by a variety of players, such as network TVs, IP set-top boxes, and digital media adapters. This software is DLNA Certified, which means that increased interoperability with other DLNA certified devices. It aggregates content from multiple sources on the network into a single, unified directory, and enables advanced digital rights management, an auto setup wizard, and auto-generating video thumbnails. With Mediabolic's Embedded Media Server, accessing, sharing, and enjoying your media files has never been easier. As a Thecus product, the N1200 comes with a robust selection of features that make administration and management a simple affair. All administration is done via an intuitive web-based interface that is available in 9 languages. The Thecus Backup Utility allows PC and MAC users to easily backup their data on a regular basis, while the Download Manager makes it easy to schedule BT, HTTP, and FTP transfers during off-peak hours. The N1200 can also act as an iTunes Server, which allows users to stream music throughout their network.
