Update to request
I was checking the Thecus website and noticed the following on the latest firmware:
NAS performance has been improved in firmware v2.1.01 or later. However, it won’t take effect just by firmware upgrade; you have to re-create the RAID too. In case you need it, backup all data, remove the RAID, create a new one, and then put all data back.
In either case if you decide to update the article with these tests, please use the latest firmware to ensure maximum performance.
Thank you.
PS: There are revisions of the units that also include a Bit Torrent Client, and a DNLA complient media video streamer, though I'm not sure of the abilities. I just saw the models available on NewEgg.
