I especially liked the videos reviewing the new Asustor LockStore NAS AS7110T and the AS6510T. Have a question about these new units….can drive expansion units be added? Yes, you can surely use AS6004U. It connects via USB allowing you add four more drives to your existing NAS. *NAS series supporting expansion of up to 3 […]

Choosing the Best NAS for HDMI 2.0 – Asustor vs QNAP? Hi, I have watching many of your youtube videos and feel like a have learned alot about nas’s and the possibilites I can use them for, so thank you for that. I currently want to buy my first “grown up” nas, and I’m a […]
How would the Asustor AS6302T compare to the QNAP TS253Be? The Asustor has the outputs that I want (HDMI 2.0 and S/PDIF), but I’m unsure about the rest of the hardware setup, including the CPU. In your opinion would the Asustor have the same speed and capacity as the QNAP? I may delay my decision […]
I would like to know if it is possible to have a single disk plus 2 disks in RAID 0 and the other 5 in a RAID 5 in the same 8 bay NAS (QNAP, Sysnology or Asustor). A multi-RAID option is available in Qnap, Synology and Asustor. The most configurable NAS will surely be […]
I use a Plex Pass… along with HDHomerun tuners. I’m looking to move my plex server to a NAS. Not positive I would use it.. but like the HDMI out options of QNAP and ASUSTOR. I like the price of the AS3202T and it seems capable of doing what I want… I rarely transcode away […]
Looking at 4+ bay so I can move all my data over to the one NAS. Life span of device before upgrading again is approx 5 years Wishlist Access as a mapped drive(s) 4k HDMI – I suspect 1.4 will be good enough 4 bay minimum USB 3.0 Surveillance 4+ licence Plex/Kodi options Relatively quiet […]
Upgrade from AS-304T (5 year to old 4 bay). My AS-304T has a 32bit kernel limit of 16 TB volumes. It’s running 4x4TB in Raid 5 so it’s about 11 TB. Swapping drives (to 8 or 10 TB) won’t make it, as with the 16 TB limit there is not that much to gain. There […]
I’ve looked into the DS218+ & DS718+. I’ve also looked at the Drobo, and briefly the WD. I’m now strongly thinking of the Asustor AS4004t. In your old vs new video with Eddie, you mentioned that your favorite brand might not be the top two. I’ve scoured most of you content on both channels, but […]
I have the option between Qnap TS-231P, Asustor AS1002T V2 and Synology DS216se They are on the same price where i live. I would mainly use it for Plex media server. Which Nas server would you choose? All of these NAS models will allow you to set up a PLEX server. It will work just […]
2 BAY NAS HDMI / MEDIA STORAGE / BACKUP (but NO VIDEOCAMERA). I’m choosing between QNAP TS-251B-2G and Asustor AS6302T. Both have HDMI 2.0 and a similar performance in video transcoding (H.264/265) right? I read it seems qnap is little bit more performing in read/write speed, isn’t it? Do you have feedback about new software deployed […]

Why Choose Asustor NAS in 2018? Of all the NAS brands that we discuss here on NASCompares, one of the ones that everyone has heard of, yet barely anyone can name many of their range. This is not always a bad thing, few users outside of the (rather snobby) apple community can name both the […]

The only difference between AS3104T and AS3204T is processor. AS3204T has slightly more powerful CPU, but most likely you won’t notice a difference. So whichever is cheaper I would go for.
