N2560 features a classy, elegant glossy-plastic enclosure. Adopting such style fits in perfect with home users. The Thecus emblem has been carved out of one side of the NAS and illuminates with a bright white LED when the unit is powered up.
The top-side of the unit has a small incision which encourages ventilation for internal components and HDD storage.

At the front of N2560, Thecus have given the unit a push-to-release door for the HDD installation and on the right of this door are a series of buttons, ports and LED indicators. Thecus have done a great job on the aesthetics and quality here and were pleased to see the inclusion of a USB 3.0 port at the front of the unit rather than the rear.
