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.

ADM Beta 3.0 Presentation Part I

With ADM 3.0 close to launch, we thought that we should also include a small presentation of the new OS version and some of its improvements; it all starts with a revamped login screen, which looks considerably cooler than before:

The new desktop is better organized, and we can also spot some new design elements:

The introduction of widgets is very welcome and we can always adjust their position to match our preferences:

The interfaces of the windows have been also reworked in order to have a cleaner, easy to read style:

Thanks to both WOL and WOW features, we can turn on the NAS from the web or from the local network; keeping the server in a completely off state instead of standby saves power and many people will come to appreciate this feature in the near future:

Before working with this feature, we will have to choose the correct gateway via the Network menu:

EZ-Connect configuration is easy to setup afterwards (it is mostly automatic):

After EZ-Connect has been setup successfully, we will get the confirmation from the respective menu:

The next step would be to install ASUSTOR EZ Connect Windows application:

The application does come with an easy to use interface:
