Fantastic Product

Quick and easy installation. About 2-3 hours and its running (depending on config). Great back-up utility.

Good value

Whizzes along doing its job well. Storage and streaming are excellent. Easy to set up and manage.

I want to marry this NAS

Upgraded from my previous QNAP Atom-based NAS. This baby does 4K transcode on-chip so no CPU hogging. I have thrown every type of media I have at it and the transcoding is super smooth. Also, the memory I got was non Asustor but still 100% compatible. Great set of Apps, and super fast. Has some great security features to track unauthorised entry etc. Thoroughly recommended. Is WAYYYYYYY quieter and runs at about a 1/3 of the temperature.

What a relief!!

After a rather unfortunate experience with a Drobo product I switched to this and have had no trouble with it whatsoever. Works as promised and is quiet, too.

Smart and Small

A great replacement for my earlier setup of 2 NAS Dual Bays. I was specifically looking for something with 4 cores and at least 2GB RAM (this has 4GB but I also purchased an additional 4GB to bring it to 8GB - and it was very easy to install). The set up and installation could not have been simpler and the drives 'clip' into the cradles and easily slide into the unit. If you are looking to create a RAID or use other than single drives in the unit, it pays to have them all plugged into the device when you initialize it.. As with most NAS devices I have worked with, any new drive requires to be formatted by the unit - destroying all data.. ...view more
