Asustor AS5304T delivered. I needed a new NAS and opted for 4K support as well as a faster processor and 2.5G Ethernet. Setup was a breeze with the mobile app, and adding hard drives was a breeze with no tools for the 3.5" drives and just a few screws for the 2.5" SSD, which I used as a cache added drive. EZ-Connect worked as advertised and I was able to access my NAS remotely with no further setup, no port forwarding or one-click utility setup rules, and bam I was able to log in. Even with traditional drives the unit is very quiet, it sits on my desk next to my computer and I can't hear it at all. I still have over a ton of files to copy and will update this review as I use it more, but for the money I'm convinced this is the best 4 bay NAS for the money. If you're even thinking of buying a NAS, look no further, this is it!
