📦 Asustor Drivestor 2 Pro AS3302T - 2 Bay NAS, 1.4GHz Quad Core, 2.5GbE Port, 2GB DDR4 RAM, Diskless Network Attached Storage Review

My NAS is only about 1 day old so I can't say how it will hold up in the long run, but I'm already very impressed. I put in 2 Hitachi 3TB drives and it took about 18 hours to sync up. I installed Plex and Subsonic through their app store and copied all my old media from my old external drives connected to my RPi3 and within 24 hours of unboxing I'm up and running again. The 3 year guarantee is also good. , although I hope I never have to use it. But 3 years on a NAS is the best I've seen, most…

Well, you should have read the product description. When they say "home" they mean "home". Tried repeatedly to set it up based on WAN and it can't do it. This is an internal LAN only. Mobile apps are ok but not possible to find the device as I told family members of other locals. None of the IP addresses including the WAN IP blocks are working. Tablet support is almost non-existent. There are plenty of them on Google mobile apps like AiFoto, but try to find them on a tablet. I bought this…

Change. If you plan to use a Plex server I would recommend upgrading to a version with more than 512MB RAM as most streams are very choppy. I am using this unit with two 6TB Seagate IronWolf hard drives. The transfer speed is around 15 megabytes per second on multiple connections, using the Plex server and Watch Center during file transfer. I test under normal and heavy loads. Setup was very easy and took 15 minutes. It can also be used as a network USB server, which was a nice surprise bonus…

This is my first NAS. Made the AS1102T "take a dip in the water". Performing a simple RAID1 or 0 when combining both drives into one large x2 6TB Ironwolf drive. There is a total of 10 GB+ available, which should be sufficient. Expected installation and startup is "difficult" - FALSE. It's so simple, even a green reptile or its prehistoric bipeds can do it. For this price (entry price) I wasn't expecting the set screws to line up perfectly, ALL 8 - no tools, mind you. I was able to quickly boot

This is an adequate NAS with many software features and few hardware features. If you're looking for a NAS that can boot drives and then make software changes most of the time, this is a solid choice. BENEFITS: BTRFS! Supports snapshots for your data! Super simple user interface with almost all the advanced features you will find on more expensive ASUSTOR devices. SMART monitoring. Assembly without tools. CONS: Adding or replacing drives is cumbersome. only one ethernet port. There is not…

The NAS works great and has some very useful features thanks to the installed apps. The instructions that came with the NAS are pretty sparse, and the information online isn't much better. There are phone apps for setting up the NAS, but they have a 2-star rating. I found it easier to use the web interface and computer to set everything up. The 4 bays with RAID5 are pretty fast for reads and writes, the bottleneck will be the network interface, but the internal drive speed is very useful when…
