Amazing NAS
As far as I know, there are only two NAS on the market as of today that exclusively use nvme m.2 drives. The one I purchased holds 6 of them which I populated with 6 SK hynix Platinum P41 2TB PCIe NVMe Gen4 M.2 2280 drives. I’ve only set up a couple of NAS units in my, but this was by far the easiest. It walks you through it. In 15 minutes, I had it formatted as RAID 6 and on the network. Our Datto backup system had no problem finding the drive and backing it up to the cloud. Its light weight, quiet, small, fast, and pretty cool looking.It has what I would call a fairly standard NAS web interface. You can download software that will automatically detect it on the network and allows you to launch the interface. There are plenty of apps you can download to it to do just about anything you would want to do with a NAS. It had no problem recognizing my corporate Windows domain network and accessing all user accounts. The two 2.5gb ethernet ports is also a nice feature and if you want, you can bond the two ports as one ink aggregation port for a 5gb throughput.While the construction is plastic, that doesn’t bother me. It was easy to open up to install the drives and upgrade the memory. I transferred about 200Gb of their files to it in about 15 minutes.If there is any downside to this setup was that we lost the ability to restore a previous version of a file because I haven’t been able to figure out how to run a snapshot on it. Maybe I should have used a format other than NTFS. But it has the ability to restore a deleted file and with the regular cloud backups I feel safe.I’ve only had it for 5 days, so time will tell how well it holds up. But since I set it up, I haven’t had to think about it and my Engineers seem happy with it. They use Inventor and SolidWorks and work on their drawings directly off of it.I can’t wait for a version of this that support gen 5 drives.

Fast, Small, Quiet and Really Impressive – Saturate 10Gbe R/W + Fast Seek!
I’m able to consistently saturate the 10Gbe both R/W with 6x TeamGroup MP34 4TB NVMe drives on BTRFS Raid5. ADM works fine and easy to use. All services (SMB, NFS, AFP, etc.) are perfectly working with 0 downtime. I have it placed in my rack in a high-ambient temp area and drives never go over 42C. I purchased the heat sink kit from Asustor separately to make it easier to manage heat under load while manually setting the fan speed to High in ADM. It’s been rock solid the past few weeks and consistently giving me top speeds and I haven’t filled the array yet. Definitely enjoying the low power consumption as well. What really impresses me is the random seek being so fast as you would expect from NVMe. This is a pretty unique product that I passed over at first glance, but after more research and actual use I’m finding it being a centerpiece of the homelab giving me fast IO for a pretty good price.NVMe speeds, 10Gbe, low-power consumption, small form factor, intel processor, upgradable ram and quiet all at a pretty good price point with the added benefits of better random seek. I struggle to compare to any commodity gear that has all these features for that price.Really excited to see what other devices this inspires with the NVMe prices falling, but for now this is a solid & fast NAS.

Mostly love and slightly dislike this NAS
Asustor’s new all M.2 RAID NAS units are in short, where things should start going as SSD and M.2 drive prices have made them accessible to most of the public.However, while the price seems reasonable, the unit itself is surprisingly cheap and all plastic for the most part. Plastic has advantages in some instances but something of this sort might have been better served with some parts being metal. Perhaps one of the most annoying yet trivial facets is the series of screws that must be removed to access RAM and drive areas of the internal board. Having to go through a few phillips screwdrivers to find one that would fit and do the job was well, annoying. I never ran into this with other NAS units or similarOnce the cover panels are removed, upgrading RAM and also placing drives in is a snap. It is very straight forward and as much as I complain about the screws above, drive install is latch style so no screws are required. RAM is installed in a traditional manner.These 6 drive able units come with 1 stick of 4 gig RAM. I would recommend to replace and use 2 x 8gig to get 16 gigs of RAM to match the M.2.Of the good – Well this is a NAS with M.2 drives capable of 16 gigs of RAM and introduces for many Ethernet ports that are 2.5 gigs capable (backwards compatible to traditional 1 gig Ethernet etc.). If your computer setup allows for 2.5 gig throughput, you will notice advantage over 1 gig immediately. While I don’t believe the 2.5 gig Ethernet is fully realized, it will still be fast enough for most save for those trying to edit media files directly off the NAS.Just remember, drives often promote themselves as being a particular size and often fall short. The degree of how short can be minimal or enough to disappoint. I have in another NAS some 16 TB drives that show as 14.55 TB usable. About 1.5 TB loss. The M.2 drives I bought were to be 4 TB drives yet show 3.73 in size once put into this unit. Having put 4 drives in to start, I only have just over 11 TB accessible in RAID 5. That is about 1 TB difference than the advertised 4 TB. Lesson – while this device may suggest you can get up to 24 TB capacity with all drives populated, it will be less and you should calculate for the difference.If I haven’t scared you away, good. The use of this unit is a pleasure as it is very very quiet, doesn’t seem to heat up nearly as much as a typical NAS with mechanical drives. The look of the unit will appeal to many and I guess one advantage of being plastic is it is a very light unit and could be carried around with some ease and far less likely to have issues in transport than say a NAS with traditional drives.LAST – I am used to system interfaces for NAS that are a bit more polished than Asustor’s. Asustor provides an easy to use interface and various options/choices for custuming and managing your NAS. I’ll have to get used to it having come from QNAP and Synology. IF you use an Apple Mac computer and Safari browser, you may have trouble logging into the management console which is related to security. However, another browser such as Firefox will not have this issue. I believe this issue is addressable but haven’t taken the time to fully realize a solution.Package and shipping – packaging was sufficient and the actual unit comes in a nice box with all parts stored within with good design. The actual unit was shipped from overseas and arrive much earlier than published by Amazon. I was pleasantly surprised.
Regan Yee –
So nice to have a diskless NAS. Only downside is m.2 8tb are still very cosy prohibitive trigger now. 5 stars all around as it’s ready to set up.

Very quick and relieable. Strongly recommand.

Don’t let the weird PS4 shape put you off, also the rather plasticky build. The device itself is super easy to use, from the installations of the NVME drives (toolless), and upgrading the memory. I upgraded mine to 16gb using some Crucial (https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08C4WV6FT?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1). The downloadable ASUSTOR Control Center app made installation of the NAS a breeze.The interface is snappy and quick on 16gb.The official heatsinks are a little overpriced (https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0CFTYRK3J?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title) and should really have been included. I would recommend some sort of heatsinks for keep things cool. Just be careful if you intend to add NVME drives with existing heatsinks as they might too tall and may obstruct the cooling fan or worse still prevent you from putting the fixture plate back on.Across a 2.5gb link, I’ve managed to saturate the available bandwidth reliably and consistently.The app store although not the same level as QNAP or Synology, has some of the most common apps available, so not felt as though I missed out using ASUSTOR ADM.Overall, pleased with the device and as a Flash NAS is makes a compelling reason to ditch the mechanical equivalents, although it will be far more expensive to populate.

After receiving asustor. I ordered ssd from crucial. 1st ct 1000p 500ssd. It fitted perfectly in the slot but device did not work. After doing research I found this is not compatible and then I brought cr 1000 mx 500ssd1. This I confirmed from list in asustor of compatible ssd. This is again not compatible. Both ssd are waste of money. They are non refundable and useless for me now.
