Asustor AS5404T, 4 Bay NAS, Intel Quad-Core 2.0GHz CPU, 4x M.2 NVMe SSD Slots, 2 x 2.5 GbE Ports, 4 GB DDR4 RAM, Network Attached Storage (Diskless)

So, this is my first personal NAS device although i do have set-ups at work so I am not a novice. The hidden nature of wherre you plug in the SSD stick to accelerate access means you first have to remove all drives before the cover will unlock to reveal the spot.One problem i did have is that port 3 on my device is a tad sensitive to plugging in the drive so if it gets jiggled a bit or I have to turn off the machine like with the storage upgrade mentioned above drive 3 is just as likely to not read, then read as a new device and storage will get rebuilt on the drive rather than resumed.

This is my first Nas very simple to set up mainly using it for jellyfin there are tons of YouTube videos on different options and walkthroughs so far it's been working great I've had it set up for a few days if anything arises I will update here

I really like this NAS. It was easy to set up. I was able to set up all the shares via Samba or NFS as I needed. Docker was easy to install as well. I have had it a cople weeks so far and really am pleased with the purchase

Garbage.... how can you charge this much for a device and use garbage screws that are insanely tight and strip with high quality screw bits? How? Why? This is the nail in the coffin for me with asus. I am tired of having such crap happen with their "high-end" devices. I am so frustrated with the tech world these days. All the possibilities we have and you offer this crap. I wish I knew how the actual device worked but unfortunately I won't Do yourself a favor and drop asus. There aren't any good options to choose from I suppose but this company has finally gotten me, a very long time purchaser of asus specific brand to quit the game. I am more aggravated that I didn't even get the device booted up once than anything.... because of a garbage trash quality screw. Unreal... unreal. If this didn't cost so much I'd drill the crap out but I am not doing that. Not anymore with I be content with their products across the board made with flimsy garbage hardware only having to band-aid the crap because I hate wasting time with returns. This is it.... you finally chased me away. No more asus. Which is rough because everything I buy is asus and now I am going to have to slowly replace all of it because I can't even stand to see the name. Again, all the possibilities in the year 2025 and over the past 5 years, at the least, you deliver cheap garbage hardware. Shame.... for shame. *And I will never capitalize the word asus again, you lose proper noun status. *oh that's right, I just came back to add that I now have to remove the RAM and maybe return that because I went out of my way to purchase the 4 NVME SSDs, the 4 HDD, and upgraded the RAM so now I am either pigeon-holed into finding a NAS that takes this RAM or I have to return, or even better they won't take the return and I eat the cost. I am so done eating the cost with asus.

One of my decisions to purchase this NAS was advertised 4K output on HDMI. Unfortunately there is no support for DTS or Dolby audio Codecs so forget about surround sound playback. Looks to be an excellent NAS otherwise.

Could not get it to connect to my PC. It would connect some times and other times drop. Very frustrating and costly experience. Repeated calls with customer service only lent to more frustration as I found them completely useless. I’m going to try a different vendor. Everything was returned thanks to Amazon‘s great return policy
