9:34. Hi there! We do not have official support for 5GbE on USB and do not recommend people go out and purchase one. We do, however have upgrades in the works to help people add 10GbE AND M.2 to their NAS. Stay tuned! On the other hand, we do support SMB Multichannel which gives 5GbE-like performance when combining both Ethernet ports. No expensive switches needed! And it's completely FREE!
I was looking at the 4 bay, and with shipping it was ~$830, but the 6 bay was $840, plus $90 shipping ...(damn that shipping to Japan!) Needless to say, the 6 bay I ordered (your fault!) should hold me over for my remaining lifetime! (I will need a 5 port 10 GbE switch soon....!)
Got my 6706T in today, got it set up relatively easily, albeit with just one Crucial MX500 installed thus far; I have several hard drives on order, some for this NAS and some to tinker with WIndows Storage Spaces! :)
Great video as always from you, informative and great! I'm really new to all this NAS world and been watching your videos and getting a lot of great info and knowledge. Thanks for doing these! One suggestion though, your audio might need a bit of improvement. Just a suggestion and my personal (subjective) view, so please don't be offended. I don't know what kind of mic or system you are currently using to capture your voice but there could be some room for improvement. - In post, you could get rid some of that room echo. There are many de-verberate tools available, like Acon Digital DeVerberate, iZotope RX De-Reverb etc. - try speaking a bit slower as it gets a bit "essy" (messy s-letters, because of your teeth?) at times. Especially for your non-native English speaker audience it can be hard to fully understand the message. Speaking a little slower can help, there's no need to rush. - try using a lavalier microphone or a "shotgun" microphone to improve the sound quality in general and further help with the room (ambient / reverb) tone. - In post, you could edit the sound a bit more polished; eq, de-ess, compress, limiting. Thanks again, keep up the good work! Loving your channel! :)
Love mine and got unRaid working on it just fine. F2 is how you get into bios if anyone is interested. Works like a champ so far. Going to stress test it and do some 4K Plex transcoding hopefully soon. So far happy with the purchase and nice to know unRaid can run on it as that is my preferred NAS OS.
Hi there! When you run your device out of spec, you understand that you take full responsibility and that support will not be provided and warranties cannot be honoured. We need to maintain our commitment and focus into making ADM better than ever and thus are unable to commit resources to support this.
@@ASUSTOR_YT of course. But thank goodness I live in a free country and own this wonderful device to do as I please. But I will argue that if it lasts 3 years on unRaid that is a testament to Asustor build quality. This community would not exist nor would Asustor exist be pushed to make things better without people doing things like this. No question of why people do this? No drive to build hardware that fully supports this? I would have bought 2 of these years ago if the product supported unRaid officially. Can’t be that hard to make a line of that product specifically for unRaid use. Either way, thanks for your note. Love the device and I understand no guarantees or support is provided in doing this.
@@pb1320 Hi there! Modifying the device does not push us to make software better. It actually makes things worse. Criticism definitely does help us improve and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE listening to everyone's feedback and doing as best as I can to push for what people want. We have limited resources and since Robbie posted that video and multiple recent posts on Reddit, we've seen a marked increase in requests for support to restore their NAS back to working order and this costs money. This takes away limited resources away from software development. I'd love to be able to add everything, but this is not a GPU or a motherboard where replacement of the part or SMD component, or reflashing of the firmware will make it good as new again. People's data is at stake and we need to test and overengineer and be relatively conservative in what we throw onto the NAS and whether we're prepared to handle the onslaught of support requests should a catastrophe occur (hopefully not). I appreciate the willingness to support us. I really do. We have to make difficult decisions because, unlike a certain Windows 10 update, a data loss catastrophe will sink us. We're not a billion dollar company with huge reserves in the bank. We have 80 people. I frequently get claims that it can't be hard to make this or that line of product. If we just make product willy nilly (not to mention the hundreds of thousands of dollars alone in creating boards and moulds etc...) then, the quality just won't be there and we will lose the hard earned trust that we have. I love DIY. For years, I have pushed for a DIY option because I think it's a good idea and the boss has not said no. But we still have our resources tied to our current customers and target markets as well. When we make difficult decisions, we have to choose on the basis of what will result in the most net positive. I can't promise anything except for one thing.

got one recently to replace a synology DS220+ (got the AS6702T), quite a bit more expensive but wile more difficult in some aspects Super happy with it. it lives in the living room and the DS220 was just ALWAYS reading and writing something to the drives and was quite loud (poor HDD mounting solution IMO). the AS6702 being able to install the OS on a SSD mostly spends it's time there which is the first perk, the HDD's are mounted way better reducing ratteling noises under read/write...little less sound dampening but a much cleaner less annoying sound all together. and wile NAS disks arent really supposed to do it, it can hibernate the HDD's when the tv's are off and we're away as all they do is store media not everything >.> can also be used to re-encode files though....only lighter workloads (264/265 w/o denoise) I mean it'll get the job done but as mine is also my pihole that does not like being choked out by a video re-encode and if you limit the core's it'll take literal days to get anything done so I'm opting to let the desktops handle those loads (2d on nas or 45 min on a 12 core desktop think due to sheer speed the desktop also eeks out a w in power efficiency :P ).
Raid is garbage, for personal use. Just follow the 3 copies law and you'll be OK. Anything important, which for the home is generally documents, photos and home videos just use MEGA or Google Drive. Have a USB drive for the second or just use two of them, skipping the online storage and use this as the third and local. Most drives spend 6 months to a year letting you know they are having issues before they finally die. Plenty of time to just copy files over, but the majority of things are perfectly fine in raw storage configs with the file system of your choosing. You are basically buying an Acer Aspire cheap computer here with the benefit of extra storage and swap bays. Asustor has always been a company doing it right and their own way. What other NAS in this price range can you play some CS-GO on, or play beast games off your main PC with Parsec? It's an over-engineered value monster and you need to own one right now!
Great review, quick question when you have a moment, can you let me know if you can use Seagate desktop barracuda drives in there, unfortunately, they are 8TB SMR, not CMR. I have 6 laying around that I want to use, was originally going to build a x470 file server with a 3900x cpu that I haven't got around to doing. Thanks!
Was thinking of going synology but with them pushing having to use their drives on their platform, is sort of a deal breaker i feel, Lockerstor is the only other choice in my country so tempting but maybe I should just setup my own
They have the alert sometimes from reports online with drives but I have all WD drives, shucked, and they work like any other. Asustor has many other features that synology some reason refuses to add which makes it attractive.
@@WELDE83 2.5gbe standard, the nvme being able to be used as pool instead of just cache. Synology has the pcie expansion but 1gbe only on lineup is strange. HDMI is awesome and appreciated by me at least.
Let me start off by revealing I do not know much at all about Networking or wifi. I am installing a completely new home system. HOW CLOSE can the Nighthawk AX6000 WiFi Router (RAX120) be located to the NAS unit, and the unmanaged Switch? I was hoping to place them on a wooden DIY shelf I’m making, to go on top of my file cabinet in my office. The arrangement will be as follows: • Router (will set OUTSIDE, top of shelf unit) • Unmanaged Switch (will set inside the shelf unit; on top shelf) • NAS Unit (will set inside of shelf unit; on bottom shelf) If this setup is a problem, could I circumvent the problem by building the shelf unit from metal, and grounding the metal to the center safety grounding screw of a 110vac wall outlet?
I started off with an WD PR2100 then upgraded to qnap ts-464 but with the Qnap I have been having cpu issues the cpu is constantly working at over 90% an when I watch certain movies it buffers alot thinking about getting an asustor all I am running on the Qnap ts-464 is plex no 4k movies
I got a Asustor AS3202T that got hit by the Deadbolt ransomware. I was running Plex, EZ connect and other port opening services as well as the default admin account. I had no experience in NAS security back then but ever since the attack I’ve been reading up a lot. Now I want a new NAS and after the attack I thought “never more Asustor” and started looking at the Synology DS1621+, but considering all the features in Lockerstor 6bay gen 2 I’m really contemplating getting Asustor again. I will use my old NAS as backup and set up snapshots, not use external access without vpn, set up different accounts etc and make as much security adjustments as I can but I still totaly can’t fight the feeling of insecurity 😅 what are your thoughts? Am I overthinking the security threat? Should I go with Asustor or combine new Synology with old Asustor as backup. Is there any security benefit of combining brands? Thanks for a great video!
Hey there! We have continued to massively improve security on the ASUSTOR NAS as of late and appreciate your consideration to support us again. Unfortunately, no software provider can guarantee a product will be 100% free of software exploits. All we can do is continue to seek out exploits and fix them before they are found. We encourage everyone to keep backups of data because of the various threats to data, not just for ransomware, but for hardware damage, corruption and user error. If you have any questions, please hit me up!
If you have a proper firewall and you don't open easy to guess ports randomly you should be fine. Also where are you exposing those ports and accounts is important. Never keep default admin password or accounts with pass easy to guess and crack. Always use official and well respected apps to access your data remotely as well. I have a NAS 13 years. Nothing ever was exposed with default settings online and i have never had any security issues.
@@ASUSTOR_YT I have really been considering the Asustor AS6702T because of the feature set, but stories of malware really concern me. Some comments on amazon seem to say their units arrived already arrived with malware and crypto miners installed right out of the box. This situation is really scary. To what extent are these stories true? What steps is Asustor doing to prevent this in the future? And how can I be sure that the device I am buying is safe?
@ Asustor TV: Can the Lockerstor 4 Gen 2 take various drive speeds in one array? I understand the drive capacities need to match, but, I have 2x 4TB Iron Wolf's which run at 5900 RPM. Buying another 2 will likely mean I have to purchase 5400 RPM speeds as the former is now discontinued. Will speed differential cause me issues?
The fact that you have to make a choice between NVMe and 10Gb/s is a bad point to my eyes, because I need both... A unique USB port at the back makes me anxious about the use of a UPS: is the Asustor able to "understand" the communication with a UPS, and is it possible to use a HUB to connect more than 1 usb device ?? The possibility to use NVMe as a Storage Pool is great, it was not possible on the Synology Nases until recently, but Synology has changed its rules and it is possible now. Nevertheless the Synology restrictions regarding the RAM, NVMe and disks, trying to enforce the use of their own brand (too expensive) is more and more unacceptable, and may push me to buy anther brand such Asustor or Qnap for my next NAS (my 12 years old DS413 has to be replaced)...
How do you see that the scarers put the CPU at 70 degrees in idle? At least on 4-bay models like this one. That throws me off a bit. In summer I don't even want to imagine
I just got a Lockerstor 2bay Gen 2 AS6702T. I'm upgrading from an AS1102T, I have 2- 1TB NVMe to put in it, should I just install my 2- 8 TB drives first and get it running right before I add the 2- 1TB NVMe drives? That seems to be a proper way to do it, I'm going to be using the NVMe drives for read/write cache not storage.
Hello, are you still using AS6702T? Can you help me test whether the NAS's power will automatically turn on after being turned off? I encountered this situation and opened a case with Asustor support but it still hasn't been resolved. Judging from the records, when the NAS is shut down, it will automatically start up once within 14 days. My setup is four 2T m.2 SSDs and two IronWolf Pro 14TB. Thanks.
I have the older Nimbustor (5304) 4 bay. Would there be a way to migrate my 4 disks to the 6 disk Lockerstor and add two more disks without losing my data ?
Hi there! Yes! It's really easy! Before doing anything, ensure you have made proper backups. After that, simply move the drives into the first four bays of the Lockerstor 6 Gen2 and turn it on. It should behave as it was and be ready to take two more drives. After installing two more drives, you'll be able to initiate the array upgrade in Storage Manager.
Could you please put a review on Asustor Xpanstor 4 - 4 Bays expansion box? And also advise on whether it makes sense to add a Synology NAS to an Asustor 2bay NAS?
