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.

Besides the foam material we have previously mentioned, the NAS is also wrapped inside a transparent plastic bag:

AS6404T does sport a design we have been accustomed with for years now, which has proven as being quite sturdy and reliable; the top metallic cover does come a dark grey paint, while the frontal area of the unit is made from black plastic:

The frontal area of each tray does come with the Status/Fault/Drive activity LEDs, but also ventilation grills and locks (locks are usually seen with more business-oriented NASes too):

The top left corner does house a chromed ASUSTOR logo, along with a Power and a System status LED; the Power button accompanies the Power LED:

Further down, we can spot individual LAN activity LEDs for each interface, but also an USB 3.0 port with One Touch Copy functionality:

Right on top of the drive trays, we do have an LCD screen, with control buttons for browsing through the menus, but also for performing the initial setup procedure:
