🔒 Asustor Lockerstor 10 AS6510T: High-Performance 10-Bay NAS with 10GbE and 2.5GbE Ports, NVMe SSD Slots, and 8GB DDR4 RAM Review

My box comes complete with four 10TB Seagate Exos drives, two 512GB SSDs (cache only) and 16GB RAM (that's the top processor manufacturer and Asustor listed a maximum of 8GB, but when 16GB is recognized I haven't had any problems so far). The hardware is top notch and comes from the folks at Asus. The only limitation I have is that I come from a Synology machine that is 4 years old and the software is definitely more user friendly than Asustor. If you like working more with software and are up…

I fully populated my unit with four 10TB Seagate Exos drives, two 512GB SSDs (cache only) and 16GB RAM (that's more than the 8GB max specified by the CPU manufacturer and Asustor, but if it recognizes 16GB and I don't I have no problems yet) ). The hardware is top notch and comes from the folks at Asus. The only limitation I have is that I come from a Synology machine that is 4 years old and the software is definitely more user friendly than Asustor. If you like working more with software and…

This is my fifth NAS box. I have Netgear Readnas 104, 2 4TB wdmyclouds and 16TB WDMycloud ultra. This box was purchased with two 12TB Segate Enterprise hard drives. I later added 2 more and that's why it only gets 4 stars. I added 2 more drives after putting about 6TB of movies on them and it took 3 days to transfer the data to the 3rd/4th. distribute drive. Sometimes it won't let me connect to my network and it takes a minute or two to wake up. I accidentally disconnected it from the network…

So far everything has been plug and play. Easy one-click integration with apps on my phone, Google Gmail integration, and apps on my Windows clients. Two NVME cards ($80 each here at AMZN) and an additional 8GB flash drive ($20) were added, and yes, it's a very fast machine. Running two RAID arrays, one for storage, one for backup, and then a 1TB SSD for OS and applications. Connected to 10GBE ports via a new switch (XGS1010-12-ZZ0101F) and my main windows client is connected via 2.5GBE…

Bought after about a month of searching, it was the only 4-bay box I could find in my price range with an Intel quad-core processor, NVME cache, HDMI out and DDR4 RAM could. Having had a fantastic experience with Asus in the past and knowing the connections between the two companies, I decided to give it a try. SO HAPPY I DID THIS. Had to contact support twice, once because I was an idiot and couldn't find some files, I figured it out before they did. The second time was because I had issues…
