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.

On the left side of the unit, we do have a ventilation grill, which is meant to offer an optimal airflow for the internal motherboard:

The right side is pretty much the same, minus the ventilation grill:

In the back, we will be able to spot a 120mm fan that is placed in the drive bay area, but also plenty of extra interfaces:

The top right corner comes with an USB 3.0 type C port:

The two USB 3.0 type A ports are accompanied by a HDMI 2.0 interface:

Lastly, we’ve got two Gigabit LAN interfaces, S/PDIF, a Reset button, one DC-IN but also a Kensington lock port:

The bottom area of the unit does feature four large, circular rubber feet but also a sticker with the product serial number and MAC addresses for both LAN ports:

The trays can be easily opened by clicking on the release button:

A quick look inside the drive cage will reveal the daughter-board, which does come with the SATA Power/Data ports:

The trays are metallic at their core and quite sturdy:
