Excelente marca e excelente produto. O NAS é bastante rápido e suporta 4 SSDs M.2 além de mais 2 unidades SATA, era justamente o que eu precisava. Eu recomendo sem dúvida.

Have only had the AS6704T NAS for a couple of days, but it has been excellent. Very easy to setup, good read/write performance and a solid set of built-in apps for configuration and management.

I have TWO of these things because the price is so sweet (looking at you synology) - so 20 drives in total.First thing I've done in all of them - install RAM (up to 64 GB) and SSDs (two). These devices have a read/write SSD cache mode which I find unimpressive - it's okay, you can set up the SSDs as a separate high speed array and I recommend that.The 10gbit LAN connections have worked without issue. The i/o and latency is solid, I use both windows file sharing (CIFS/SAMBA) and linux (NFS)Most importantly, I just had my second drive failure (RAID6). Buzzer was off. I keep it by my desk, and it just pops up a red light on the bad drive tray - so you don't need to figure out which drive is bad, that red light tells you exactly where the issue is. I login to the web interface, see SMART error, so simply popped out the drive (while it is running), replaced the bad drive with a good one, and put that tray back in -- all while the system was running. The system automatically detected the new drive and began rebuilding the array - impressive data preservation! Now, I haven't investigated to see if this drive was ACTUALLY that bad, but I can say it was up for about 3 years before this, so it's not a common issue, and it's best practice to be cautious with un-backed-up RAID arraysThese are all great, but I do want to mention one bad thing which has struck this and many other NAS devices - hacking. Hackers will encrypt all the files and require bitcoin $ to decrypt. Asustor was historically hacked as such. I don't run any services that expose the box to the internet, and my box worked just fine through it all. Just be very careful, though, if you intend to both store important data on these AND connect it to the internet, it would be hacking vulnerable.

The only regret is that I did not go for 4-Bay. Asustor helpline is not very swift in answering either, but things can be worked out.

Got this when my very old but reliable NAS died. So far it works well. I'm not using it too much behind what I need it for - data store. Got VPN working on it but still have a few kinks I need to sort. I'll inch myself towards other features I can do on media streaming. Desktop UI via browser works well. installation of the drive was easy though I relied on an "older" video that had me following the wrong way of installing the drives with the side strips.

After 10+ years of using Synology I made the switch to Asustor. I was dubious at first But that has not lasted long.4 Disks slots and 4 nvme slots provides ample storage. Dual 2.5G nics work perfectly. With SMB multi channel I am seeing speeds of around 350MBps.The OS gets mixed reviews. Its is perfectly fine. I run any additional services in docker rather than the built in apps. I do however use the built in plex media server app which works very nicely.

Si lo quieres para servidor de Plex o servidor Multimedia la repuesta es que si, domina completamente como servidor de Plex. La razón para comprar este modelo en específico contra marcas como WD o Synology es que Asus normalmente pone MUCHO software preinstalado o para bajar gratis y no es excepción. En la appstore vienen todo tipo de utilidades para gestión multimedia, de redes, para cámaras de seguridad y para bajar y compartir archivos.Es el único de su rango de precio que trae doble puerto de red (y son 2.5Gb), entonces puedes hacer cosas como usar un puerto para bajar y otro para subir o usar ambos a la vez como si fuera un solo puerto 5Gb. Es increíblemente fácil crear volúmenes y crear RAIDs con pocos clics y viene todo muy bien explicado. Y por último, todo se puede manejar desde el celular bastante fácil. El NAS incluye una app para administrar descargas, en el cual hasta bajar y administrar torrents.

I have been a long time user of a competitors product. I needed to add another NAS to my home/small business office network. I do a lot of photo editing and some video editing and need to back up my work to a very reliable NAS. After careful research I concluded that the ASUSTOR Lockerstor 2 Gen2 AS6702T (2-bay unit) was the best NAS to meet my needs. The unit received high reviews from third parties and it lived up to the hype.PROS-Fast file transfers (much faster than my older NAS)Dual multi-gig LAN ports (but of not value to me since my LAN supports 1000mbs only)Four slots for M.2 NVMe SSDs (for storage or caching but not both)ExpandableLarge catalog of apps both from the manufacturer and third partiesCONS-ExpensiveExpanding RAM to 16GB requires disassembling the unit (although the manufacturer has a step-by-step video to guide you through the process, and I did upgrade to 16GB and found the video helpful)Setup was easy (except for the memory upgrade installation which took about an hour). I installed 2 10TB HDDs and was up and running in less than 15 minutes. File transfers from my desktop were speedy.Besides my desktop I use an apple laptop as well as a windows laptop on my LAN and they have no problems accessing and using the NAS.I strongly recommend using a UPS with this unit.I would not recommend enabling remote access to the ASUSTOR from the internet unless you are very well versed in the security issues involved, especially using VPNs.I have been using the unit for over a week and so far I am very pleased with its performance. Recommended.

I am an IT professional of over 25 years so I will review from this perspective. Overall this unit provides great specs for the price. Immediately upgraded RAM to 16GB. Not difficult but you need to disassemble the unit to get at the motherboard. Any good set of DDR4 SODIMMs should do the trick. Strongly recommend a UPS for any NAS. These file systems do not like ungraceful shutdowns. I was pleasantly surprised when it immediately recognized my UPS when I plugged it in to a USB port. I set it to shut down after 5 min of power loss. I recommend just one SSD for read cache. Write cache needs 2, is overkill for most and a really great way to corrupt your file system. If you do write cache, a UPS is a must. I've installed a few apps including surveillance center which works great. Use the smartphone app for playback. I have external access disabled, many ransomware attacks for the EZ services. Don't enable them if you like your data. A VPN on your router with clients on your mobile devices is the right solution for remote access. I have not set this up yet. Waiting on a newer router to do this. Use Raid 5 or 1. You are asking for trouble with Raid 0 as you have no redundancy. I used older hard drives and already had 1 fail. This is inevitable with hard drives. When not if they fail.Some critiques:1. Asus advertises 10g network support. To get this you have to replace the SSD card with a 10g NIC. They could really use a second slot.2. Could use more sound insulation. Depending on your hard drives the unit can be a bit noisy.3. App library is not as comprehensive as Synology or QNAP. Hopefully this improves as more of these units are sold.4. Advertised camera support for Surveillance Center is poor, and mostly older models. I had to try a couple brands before I settled on Amcrest. These work great and are easy to set up. 4 camera licenses are included which is nice.5. Unit is set to DHCP (dynamic IP assignment). You should use static IP assignments or reservations for the NAS and cameras otherwise the IP could change on reboot which you don't want.
