It also features ability to act as an iTunes or DLNA server, print server, and webcam host AND is hot-swappable. The N0204 miniNAS is also said to feature a hyper-efficient design, which consumes only 25-30% of the power compared to a regular two-bay NAS device, which means you’ll not only save money - you’ll be saving the environment at the same time.
