Says Corex product manager, David dos Santos: Thermaltake Technology has recently devoted attention to the world of network storage systems. As a result, Muse NAS-Raid (Network Attached Storage) has been developed.

According to Dos Santos, the Muse NAS-Raid not only utilises an Intel certified internal structure, it also has an Intel IOP 80219 processing unit built in, along with 256mb of DDR SDRAM, expandable to 1 gigabyte, plus a 160 watts built-in power supply to ensure sufficient power. The unit is designed to support up to four 3,5 drive bays for Sata hard drives.

Says Dos Santos: If the Muse NAS-Raid is connected to the Web through a hub, it can be used as an enterprise file sharing server. If the Muse NAS-Raid is connected at home, it can be used as a storage centre for all kinds of multimedia files and data. With excellent Raid capabilities, there is absolutely no reason to worry about any precious data being lost.

The Muse NAS-Raid supports Raid 0, 1, 5, and JBOD for maximum functions, he adds. The files can be backed up at any time, and it supports high-volume traffic, hot-plugging, as well as an active warning system, he continues. With the ability to hot-plug and backup files at any time, the network will never be down due to maintenance, saving revenues that may be lost through downtime, he claims.

Thermaltakes thermal dissipation aims to ensure that the Muse NAS-Raid is well-cooled, and the unit contains a built-in warning system that is designed to alert the user with error beeps and warning lights to keep the unit from any kind of serious malfunctioning.
