ASUSTOR AS6404T 4-bay NAS Review

Storage/NAS by stefan @ 2017-08-03

With the AS6404T 4-bay NAS from ASUSTOR we are seeing an update to the Intel Celeron Apollo Lake J3455 Quad-Core 1.5GHz processor, which is paired with no less than 8GB of DDR3L RAM in order to handle plenty of multimedia content types, but for also being able to use even more application modules at the same time. We do also see an USB 3.0 Type C port in the back for connecting modern storage devices, support up to 10TB drives (for a total of 40TB in a single NAS) and dual LAN that can be used for both Link Aggregation and Failover. The LCD panel is easy to operate via the hardware buttons, we get an IR receiver so the NAS can be operated via a Media Center remote, but also audio output via S/PDIF or HDMI 2.0 output for enjoying 4K @ 60Hz.

Backup & Restore is important when handling sensitive data, so it is better to have the information stored on the NAS synchronized to other locations too (including the cloud). Here is also the area where we can configure the One Touch Backup function:

If we do have external devices connected to the NAS, such as storage drives, printers, Wi-Fi dongles, UPS systems, Bluetooth dongles or optical drives, there is a special menu dedicated for it:

Moving on, we do have the File Explorer, which allows us to work with the internal file system, but also external drives, virtual devices (mounted ISOs), CIFS folders and more; the file manager does also permit working with the file system of the computer we are currently browsing from, but requires JAVA libraries to be installed:
