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.

The configuration options are the same as we have seen with its desktop counterpart:

 

 

 

 

We can link to the running VM via Remote Desktop Connection:
