Thank you for choosing the Thecus 1U4500 1U Rackmount Storage Server. The 
Thecus 1U4500 is an easy-to-use storage server that allows a dedicated approach 

to storing and distributing data on a network. Data reliability is ensured with 
RAID features that provide data security and recovery—over one Terabyte of 

storage is available using RAID 5 and RAID 6. Gigabit Ethernet ports enhance 
network efficiency, allowing the 1U4500 to take over file management functions, 

increase application and data sharing and provide faster data response. The 
1U4500 offers data mobility with a disk roaming feature that lets you hot swap 

working hard drives for use in another 1U4500, securing the continuity of data in 
the event of hardware failure. The 1U4500 allows data consolidation and sharing 
between Windows (SMB/CIFS), UNIX/Linux, and Apple OS X environments, and 

its user-friendly GUI supports multiple languages. Take the time now to read 
through this user’s manual and get the most out of your 1U4500. 

 

First and foremost, the 1U4500 allows you to store and share files over an IP

interface, users on your network can access these files in a snap.
