Vastly Improved Performance
By coupling the power of an Intel Atom D525 Processor with the speed of next-generation DDR3 memory, the N4200PRO delivers wicked performance. Files transfer faster, commands are executed quicker, and more clients can connect to the N4200PRO than ever before.

Dual DOM Protection
It\'s always good to have a backup, and that goes double for system software. If something should go wrong, your data and your entire system could be at risk. Put your mind at ease with Dual DOM OS Redundancy, which gives you a secondary DOM that can reprogram the primary DOM automatically in case of a malfunction for maximum reliability and uptime.

Built-In Mini-UPS
With the N4200PRO\'s built-in Mini-UPS, not even a power outage can slow you down. The Mini-UPS provides power to allow the N4200PRO to write unwritten data to the hard disks and safely shutdown, ensuring the integrity of your data and preserving your memories.

Dual Display Convenience
Wondering how your NAS is doing? Just check out the LCD display on the N4200PRO for convenient status information including HDD activity, LAN activity and USB Copy status. The sharp OLED display even allows you to change various system settings without having to be near a computer.

Rock-Solid Security
The N4200PRO safeguards your data with a number of selectable RAID modes, including RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, JBOD. Changing damaged hard disks is also a breeze with its built-in hot-swap, hot-spare, online RAID migration and expansion, as well as auto-rebuild capabilities. And if you need even more protection, there also AES 256bit RAID volume encryption available.

Multiple Backup Options
Backup your data your way with the N4200PRO\'s multiple backup options. Included with the device are the Thecus® Backup Utility, Nsync remote replication, snapshot support, and even Acronis OEM Backup Software, giving you a wide variety of ways to backup your precious data.
