Packaging

Sans Digital uses black packaging with some silver and blue accents for their retail box. There is a sticker on the box that lets you know that a external Serial ATA 6GB/s card is included for use with the TR5UTP.

The back of the packages shows off some supported configurations along with the contents of the box.

Aron please review the USB3 feature on this NAS. It's one of the main reasons many of us are interested in the device. It allows you to avoid using the awful Highpoint RR622 or it's drivers.

Please provide a setup summary and benchmark results for the USB3 interface.

If you need a USB 3 card then the Asus U3S6 is $30 and has 2 USB 3 ports and 2 internal SATA 600 ports. Fabulous little card. I use it with a Kingwin USB 3.0 harddrive "toaster".

Thanks for the review. I'm glad you pointed out the noisy little fan that Sans has used for the power supply. I have a SansDigital 2-bay cabinet (eSATA and USB 2) that I rarely use because of the annoying fan noise. I wish they would give some thought to the issue! The box is pretty good otherwise.
