Concluding Thoughts

At $250, the LG Super-Multi NAS N2A2 is about as inexpensive as 2-bay NAS devices come, peculiarly when you consider the included 2TB of storage. Comparable products past Buffalo, D-Link and Netgear all toll more, while slightly higher-cease products such as the Synology DS211 cost $530 when equipped with the aforementioned corporeality of storage, making it more than twice as expensive.

In terms of value, the N2A2 is not only wallet-friendly, simply it performs quite well. Until now, nosotros've constitute cheap NAS solutions to be painfully slow and clumsy. The N2A2 is faster than a USB ii.0 hard bulldoze and supports multiple clients simultaneously very well.

For general setup, the included software is very expert. The web card interface is fairly basic compared to more expensive products like Synology's, but it's notwithstanding clean and simple to use. The but trouble we incurred into was the inability to rebuild the device from scratch if necessary.

The N2A2's physical design is quite appealing. We plant the outer shell to be robust and attractive and it scores well in the connectivity section with an easy to access USB port and a quick backup button on the front of the case.

The LG N2A2 consumes very footling power, considerably less than our low-stop desktop system -- v.three times less to be precise. It's also compact and very tranquility when operating.

Nosotros have no problem recommending the LG N2A2 to home users or anyone looking for a upkeep NAS. Its affordable price along with the fantabulous build quality brand the N2A2 a real winner, we just promise LG can sort out the NAS Detector software for potential OS re-installs downward the road.
