Hello! We're back to watch the featured presentation of Robbie rambling on about this NAS for an hour. We can't complain if we're getting what is quite honestly the longest video on the channel. We love his ramblings. But we're here and busting out the popcorn to watch a video that is way better than any movie I can see at the cinema. And while we do that, we're just happy to answer your comments, questions, praise, and criticism! Sit back and bootstrap on. It's a doozy!
Hello, may I ask if I can connect my desktop directly to the NAS through the USB 3.2 Gen 2 port to achieve the 10Gbs speed? The problem is my desktop only has 2.5GHz ethernet port. And is the connection through USB the same as the connection through ethernet? i.e. will it be identified as a NAS by the software if connected through USB? Thanks.
14:14 The seagulls are trying to tell you that we don't have enough PCI Express for another Gigabit port, but we have the USB port for our 2.5-Gigabit adapter if you wanna do that.
I think we know what's missing here... based on Asustor product naming convention, IMAGINE that : Asustor Flashtor 6 Pro FS6706X (yes 6-bay 10G) for $599 :)
This is the third time I see you on TH-cam, I just subscribed. This review convinced me to keep watching your Chanel and follow your next reviews. Really good video and great review. Thank you so much.
As far as I'm concerned, even neglecting the (not indifferent) problems related to CPU performance and PCIe lanes, Asustor currently certifies only one 4TB M.2 HDD model, the WD Red SN700, which where I live comes to cost 379€ which multiplied by 12 makes the silliness of 4.548€... to have almost 41TB of available space in RAID 5. If I bought a 6 bay NAS with 6 20TB disks (ex. Exos X20) I would pay around €1.824 which in RAID 5 translates into around 93TB of available space. 41TB for 4.548€ (110€ / TB) Vs 93TB for 1.824€ (19€ / TB) For my needs (my CD / DVD / BRD / BRD-UHD ripped available on Plex / minimserver at 1:1 quality, my photos and a few family videos shot on a MiniDV years ago), I'd say there's nowhere near competition. .. The fact that the NAS costs little is irrelevant. BTW: nice video, as usual 👍
You have great taste in names. We're working with our SSD partners to get more SSDs certified with our NAS devices. I ran around Computex talking to more SSD companies to gain extra partners and more choice. Appreciate your interest though! - Marco@ASUSTOR
On the market for a new NAS and was thinking about future-proofing the setup. I think some limitations on this machine are in effect to serve a specific niche crowd (the traveler who wants to take their NAS with them). Now I understand that this is why they decided to go for M.2 NVMe drives, I realize now they did not select the M.2 for the performance but to keep the case small. Initially, I wanted this device for its power, but the more I think about it I realize that I'm not the intended audience. If the 12-slot machine had a CPU with more cores and a bit better performance it would have been a no-brainer. It would instantly replace my home lab and store my data. But besides that, failing drives always makes me nervous and in the past when rebuilding an array it happened to me more than once that other drives started to fail while rebuilding. Being throttled by the 8 PCIe while rebuilding an array is something I really do not like... Then again, it has SSDs and not spinning disks, so performance should already be improved compared to what I'm used to. I really like the choice of a 10Gbit network port and choice for HDMI. M.2 would be awesome if the PCIe lanes were there to support it.
love the video. i have a some what related Question, can it support the SABRENT M.2 NVMe SSD 8TB Gen 4?? forget speed i am looking to build a DAS out of Nvme ssd's so here is the question in detail (if i buy this device and put in it 12 SABRENT M.2 NVMe SSD 8TB Gen 4 for a total of 96TB storage and never connect the eathernet cable to it, just connect it to my pc via usb connection and set up the raid system for it, will it work????? ) i keep looking for a NVME ssd enclousere that takes that many ssds but most are big bulky and take like 4) . so can it work ?????
1. The product page on the Asustor website indicates that the DSD audio is supported via the Hi-Res Player app. But according to the Asustor Compatibility - USB DAC webpage, none of the supported DACs support DSD. 2. Per the Asustor M.2 SSD Compatibility list, the only 4TB drive supported is the Gen3 WD Red WDS400T1R0C-68BDK0. There are plenty of other worthwhile 4TB Gen4 drives available at the same cost. Those aren't supported by the FS6712X.
It's not that they're not supported per se, it's that we've haven't had a chance to test the others. We're testing new SSDs all the time and that list will grow! They may work just fine and more than likely will. I recommend purchasing untested SSDs from a reputable retailer that has a good return policy just in case you find an outlier. Do you have any DACs we should try? Feel free to let us know and we will try to get more samples in to test! Thanks!
First of all thank you for your clear and complete review. What I do not understand with this NAS is the intended market: With 12 drive slots, the prosumer seems to be addressed. However, a prosumer wants hot swappable drives and absolutely no power down to add or replace a drive. Unscrewing the case to get to the drives is also not on the wish list. Is it something for the home user? Want those 12 drive bays? All in all, I don't see a market for a product like this. But I could be wrong. The sales figures will tell the truth. But thanks again because it is precisely through these kinds of clarifying reviews that customers can make the right choice.
Hi there! Not all prosumers want hot-swappable drives. Many of our customers put the drives in and never touch the drives again. But at the same time, content creators really love the high random performance content creation can provide.
Thank you for the very interesting vid! Should you start using , say, six nvme modules to build a RAID 5 system adding at a later stage 2-4 nvme modules would you be able to expand total size of existing RAID without rebuilding it from scratch ?
Thanks, great detail in the video, especially around capabilities to mix'n'match storage into separate RAID groups. Any chance you've done performance benchmarks using RAID10? I'm a fan of RAID10 despite the storage capacity hit, due to the low impact on CPU and typically higher throughputs.
Is using NVMe SSDs a good idea? I have heard that after awhile with constant READ/WRITE SSDs wear out. Heck my computer recommends NOT defragging the SSD. With that said, I have had my Surface Book 2 since 2018 with no issues. I am shopping for a solid inexpensive NAS and this one looks interesting. I do video and photo editing and I need a NAS with decent performance and large capacity.
Fantastic video! I'm new to NAS. I want to setup this device with 12 SSDs and make it automatically backup my various PCs on a monthly schedule. Will this unit and its software let me do that? Thanks.
Silly question but does this (and NAS drives in general) require to be hooked up to the internet to work, or can it be used like a standard external hard drive and simply plugged into a USB port to be accessed by the respective computer?
This is a great question period I have the same question as well period I'm buying an a** server so that in the future I can plug it into a router and not waste money so I'm kind of buying a headache I probably only need a dass but why not get an a** for $300 more
Hi NASCompare, thank you for all of your video, it does help me a lot in choosing NAS that I want. Can I check with you whether DS223+ support active business backup? Thank you.
I have a synology ds1821+ which is loaded with 16tb drives which I use only for video editing + huge amounts of video file storage and pictures and have 10gb switch and It works well but is noisy when the drives spin up. Would using this Asustor NAS filled with 4tb or 8tb drives be better speed wise and without the noise, heat and power use when it’s left on 24/7?
I have a 4 bay lockster now. Use for file sharing in a home office with four users. Had it in service for 5 years. Has 2 4tb hard drives not even close to full. Wanting to upgrade and use the older model for a backup device. I would like 10gb access. Which is better solution flashstor or locker. Locker is advertised more for gaming and plex. Not sure of the advatages it would serve for file sharing. Hdd per gig still cheaper on standard hdd.
Thank you, boss, for your effort, do you think Flashstor 12 Pro is good enough to install the proxmox backup server with 10Gb linked to switch 10Gb too? I will use it for daily backup in my full rack in my colocation in London.
I don't mean to spam. I put this in an older video for the same. Thank you for the review of this product. I have been giving consideration to it and the form factor along with the SSD's does have an appeal. This would be a home use application that does have SD, HD and 4k movies. There is also a fairly large amount of music files as MP3 and video as well. Other than that, it's all about data and the combined volume is in and around 7TB. Again; home use two users. The question: what Drives of good quality would you recommend? I also understand through reading, the device is RAID capable. Is that part correct? In advance, thank you!
Hello. Great review! Is it clear to the user which SSD slots share a PCI lane? I'm thinking dividing the 12 slots into 3 RAID arrays would maximize write performance.
How do I get to this web-based GUI? I can only access wirh ACC or AiMaster. Is there a feature I need to turn on? Exit: I figured it out. Default ports are strange. You can use AiMaster to edit them.
at this point, M.2 are slowly getting cheaper than SATA SSDs, but still with bandwidth limitations, something like four QVOs can do equally well in budget Synology device, with SMB Multichannel enabled speeds would be similar, no?
thanks for your review. I'm about to go for the 12-bay one but I have doubts. It is only for Max studio in 10gb network. could you configure 2x2tb raid 1 (Time Machine) 4x2 raid 5 for Final Cut? and 2x2 raid 1 for Max applications and the nas itself? Could you do it little by little? first system apps then finalcut…. etc (for not having to spend all of one. Would you be able to do that and manage the different raids? Obviously you would look at the ram you have and expand it. Do you know what the Maximum is? I understand it will be ddr4 or dimm 2666? Thanks for your attention
On first glance, the first use case for one of these that I can think of is for off grid use - cottage, boat, motor-home / trailer (caravan). The NVMe storage is just too expensive vs HDD's for uses that many of us would have especially if that is media heavy. But, from what i can find online, the power consumption of NVME's is only about 25% of HDD's. And that means less consumption of battery power.
Thank you so much! Do you know if I can set up a custom database service on that device to make it a Davinci Resolve server for collaborative video workflow in DVR?
Hi … i would like to ask you one thing Am in a confusion. Should i go for synology 422+ or 822+ or asustor fashter 12 drive bcz my main usage is plex media server or just storage and access files from internet when i am outside and save pics while am outside .. .. wht you say … which could be a better option AND ONE MORE OPTION IS QNAP 435 XEU ,,, I LIKE RACK MOUNT SYSTEM BCZ MY ALL MEDIA THINGS ARE INSTALLED IN RACK ? Please tell me which could be a better option
Would this work for 2 or 3 Apple Final Cut users editing footage gathered on iPhones? Would the storage via ethernet feel almost equal to that on a MacBook?
This might be a silly question but if I wanted to use this as an NVR for 3 POE cameras would this be a good choice? Or should I look to go the Synology route? Thanks in advance!
Is it possible to implement RDMA or SMB Direct or RoCeV2 with an all flash NAS? Even other brands? Windows has supported RDMA for almost a decade now, but it seems QNAP, Synology, Asustor, etc do not support any RDMA protocols that will actually enable speeds up to 100 Gb/s with 100 Gb NICs. Im running into a brutal 55 Gb/s bottleneck and it seems to be that the NAS does not support any of these RDMA options. Are there any NAS systems that ACTUALLY, really, truly do support AND are capable of 100 Gb/s?
DIY version 4bay Nvme+2 2.5ssd : Inwin Chopin or B2 itx , amd itx board with dual nvme , 5600G or 5300G , pcie split enabled and slap on a 8/4/4 pcie riser . Now you got 4nvme with 4lanes to each drive plus two 2.5 drive bay You still got a free x8 pcie slot
12 4TB drives 16RAM MTS900 RAID 0 800MBS sustained 68% processor RAID 5 450-550MBS sustained 81% processor. Spinning drive NAS can easily handle large 1-1.2GBs writes. Reads on the USB ports of NTFS NVMe drive are unbelieveably slow (using the file program on the device). When deleting a volume and recreating one after it's done the web interface becomes fuzzy and unreadable so you have to log out and back in. So the file transfer performance is a little off. Would I buy one again? Probably. It's a very good value for what it offers. It's uber portable. It's tiny. Very low power consumption. It's only 50W but it's the warmest 50W I've ever felt. It will probably put Asustor on the map. You're not going to want to put a spinning drive NAS that can handle what this does in your carry on.
It’s a shame asussor put such a low powered cpu motherboard combo in there ,I would have loved to see a zyzen aib or it’s version also they really missed a trick by not allowing it to be used as a fast access cashe for its larger gen 2 or small business models
It's not possible to get 10 000 Megs? What unit are you referring to? Why aren't you mentionning TB instead of MB or at least GB? are you talking about capacity or speed? IF you're talking about speed why aren't you saying capacity per unit of time? Like MB per second?
hello sir. do you have/can you make a video about recovering data files from nas drives? my ts-451 failed but the drives are qood. sadly they are not ntfs so windows cannot read them. thank you.
Excellent timing! I am making a video on exactly that, with a QNAP tomorrow, in conjunction with recoverit to see if it can recover a ransomware affected NAS.
@@nascompares gr8, i mean there are tools but they cost sadly. imho nas are scams, better make a dedicated pc as nas, ok one may not have raids, so what, just write a batch file for backup and run it overnight - 400+ for a nas that fails? wth, pcs hardly fail imho

You still got a free x8 pcie slot
LOL - it's not affordable at all, but I'd love to own one! :)
12 4TB drives 16RAM MTS900 RAID 0 800MBS sustained 68% processor RAID 5 450-550MBS sustained 81% processor. Spinning drive NAS can easily handle large 1-1.2GBs writes. Reads on the USB ports of NTFS NVMe drive are unbelieveably slow (using the file program on the device). When deleting a volume and recreating one after it's done the web interface becomes fuzzy and unreadable so you have to log out and back in. So the file transfer performance is a little off. Would I buy one again? Probably. It's a very good value for what it offers. It's uber portable. It's tiny. Very low power consumption. It's only 50W but it's the warmest 50W I've ever felt. It will probably put Asustor on the map. You're not going to want to put a spinning drive NAS that can handle what this does in your carry on.
It’s a shame asussor put such a low powered cpu motherboard combo in there ,I would have loved to see a zyzen aib or it’s version also they really missed a trick by not allowing it to be used as a fast access cashe for its larger gen 2 or small business models
It's not possible to get 10 000 Megs? What unit are you referring to? Why aren't you mentionning TB instead of MB or at least GB? are you talking about capacity or speed? IF you're talking about speed why aren't you saying capacity per unit of time? Like MB per second?
hello sir. do you have/can you make a video about recovering data files from nas drives? my ts-451 failed but the drives are qood. sadly they are not ntfs so windows cannot read them. thank you.
Excellent timing! I am making a video on exactly that, with a QNAP tomorrow, in conjunction with recoverit to see if it can recover a ransomware affected NAS.
@@nascompares gr8, i mean there are tools but they cost sadly. imho nas are scams, better make a dedicated pc as nas, ok one may not have raids, so what, just write a batch file for backup and run it overnight - 400+ for a nas that fails? wth, pcs hardly fail imho
@@nascompares currently i evaluate R-STUDIO application - seems to be ok
@@nascompares i evaluated recoverit, but in my case the app missed many, and i mean many files, luckly i did not pay for it. did you have any success?
@@nascompares any joy?
To me it all starts and ends with the CPU, they messed that so much that I'm gonna skip this and not even blink
No UK stock anywhere 😥
We're working hard to get them back in! We recently had a run on our devices and we were not anticipating this level of demand. We'll get them back soon!
@@ASUSTOR_YT don’t forget Ireland either!
@@marknak8 Absolutely, but Ireland is still in the EU, so we have our ships going to the EU single market for Ireland. We've moved up some of our production to get more into the hands of people.
I need help
truly affordable £789 ; yeah real cheap £200 max is it's worth unpopulated
Why do you always pronounce Ryzen "Ryzon"?
do you speak english?
But, it just looks so, ugly!
