Powered by the AMD Geode LX800 processor and 256MB of DDR400 memory, the N4100PRO provides the capacity to transfer files quickly and efficiently. Four 3.5" SATA hard disk bays enable up to 8TB of storage, and users can manage this space with an updated list of RAID mode selections, including 0, 1, 5, 6, 10 and JBOD. The N4100PRO also offers RAID management features, including RAID expansion and RAID level migration for ultimate flexibility. To top it off, the N4100PRO comes equipped with a decently large, bright LCM module, which displays useful status messages such as IP address, date and time, and RAID status, making it simple for users to keep track of the condition of the N4100PRO.
