BEST SELLERS

In Network Attached Storage (NAS)

Easy to setup. Nice UI. Aesthetically pleasing unit. 2.5 gig NIC. Not much taller than the drives themselves.

Easy to upgrade memory took sodimm ddr4 3200 16 gig. Qnap went to soldered on memory on new machines suppossedly due to a ram shortage so now you can not upgrade their ram so this was a HUGE no no for me. I was a Qnap lover, but a friend has a older version of this and I thought i'd give em a try. Software looks almost identical to a Qnap so was easy for me to get in and go. 2x2.5 gb networking. it does transfer very quickly. 4X Gen 3 m.2 (NOTE THESE GET HOT). I used heat sinks for all 4 and have had zero problems. It's worth a few bucks to toss heat sinks on em. if your only going to cache boost with em get small cheapies they run much cooler. Took a few tries to get the setup I wanted with my raid and SSD caching. This was a neck and neck with Qnap ts464. its cheaper and does the same stuff, but you can upgrade the ram. I have both this and the Qnap ts464 this is my favorite. This thing for Plex is a beast! transcodes multiple streams like a champ.

Easy to install.

- Well made - Nice little heatsink on the chip. - Fast ... really fast !

- 2.5 GbE and 10 Gb ports - Expandable port for SSD cache - Upgradable DDR memory

Asustor made expanding their NAS servers as easy as possible. Insert drives, connect power and USB, configure through ADM, done. I was not expecting the performance of drives in the expansion unit to match those in the main NAS itself. When connected to an AS6202T, there was absolutely no difference in throughput for equivalent drives in the expansion unit in either JBOD or RAID 1 operation. This was with both network adapters connected and either a single workstation hammering the NAS through a 10GbE link or multiple machines active at once. When I connected the AS6004U expansion unit to an AS6210T having quad 1GbE adapters enabled, I again saw no difference in transfer speeds in JBOD or RAID 1 mode vs. drives in the main enclosure, but there was a measurable (10-30%) reduction in speed accessing a RAID 10 array of 7200K drives. Not bad performance - Asustor is making the most of their USB 3 connection. The expansion itself unit stays quiet even under load when the fan is set to Auto. Swapping the expander between NAS head units was possible, although ADM complained and maintaining existing arrays takes work. If you are only connecting to a single NAS, that's a non-issue.

I bought this really just to create some shared storage on our home network. It does a great job; so easy to set up and use...almost fool-proof. The OS is simple, and you can run all sorts of apps on it. I installed 4 drives and was up and running in about an hour. After playing around with it, I found this little NAS could do so much more than just share disk space! The built-in app store is full of neat apps, and easy to install. I installed Plex server on and was surprised how well it did with streaming my media content. It worked great except when it came to live video encoding. So, I decided I needed a little more power, and I traded up and bought the next higher end version Asustor sells. It was easy to swap my drives from this box to the new one. I didn't lose anything, and the new box was almost instantly running since it got the configuration on the swapped drives. Newegg handled the return flawlessly and I'm really happy with the purchase.

Very fast setup Relatively intuitive UI

Easy to setup, both hardware and software wise. I also enjoyed the software/services that was available to install. I installed a DNLA service so that I can watch my movies directly from my smart TV
