Review on πŸ–₯️ Asustor AS5202T - High Performance 2 Bay NAS with 2.5GbE Ports, 2GB DDR4 RAM, Gaming NAS for Personal Cloud (Diskless) by Kaushik Sokolowski

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Constant freezes, horrible apps, no NVME or mSata cache

When it comes to freeing up space across multiple hard drives, this thing is a beast. energy efficient. It's a pity that mine kept hanging and stopping. If you want to use a cache drive, you have to do without the SATA port, nothing can be used on the board. Their native apps aren't the latest, which is why the support team is telling you to only use Docker. Guess what? Docker is supported by the third-party software Portainer. However, there is no guide on how to use Array through Portainer. It's nowhere near as easy as installing a container on Synology. If they manage to fix the software issues, this thing can compete with many higher-priced NAS boxes.

Pros
  • Special offer
Cons
  • Insecure
