AsustorDrivestor 2 Pro Gen2 AS3302T v2, 2 Bay NAS Enclosure Network Storage, 1.7GHz Quad-Core, 2.5GbE Port, 2GB RAM DDR4, Network Attached Storage for Cloud Storage (Diskless)

I wasn't looking forward to replacing my previous NAS box, a Zyxel Media Server, with two 3GB NAS drives in RAID 1 configuration. All support for this device had ended and it proved incompatible with the latest version of Windows. All of my photos from four decades of snapping then needed a new home that was always accessible to the family and secure.My main concern was how easy it would be to find a replacement to build the RAID and copy over the pictures, having battled with the old device's unfriendly user interface. But I was very pleasantly surprised by the comprehensive and easy to understand web interface that Asustor have developed. They provided a good preview of their software on their website, which gave me the confidence to go ahead with the purchase of the Asustor Drivestor 2 Pro. I chose the more powerful version to give myself a longer usable lifespan as storage demands increase in the future.It's made the whole job quick and simple. Having copied all the photos to a spare drive I reformatted the NAS drives and fitted them to the Drivestor. The tool-free front cover is simply held on firmly with magnets, so access to the drive bays is very easy. The drives slide in to connect with the SATA data and power connections with one click.Once powered up and connected to my networked PC the whole process of establishing a new secure home for my precious files was done. It does take some hours to format and copy more than a TB of data, but the box just got on with the task while I did something else online.I think the product is well built, the software and support easy to understand and the instructions clear. Quality appears good at this stage. The box is silent most of the time. Other household users can upload and download files to the store over my home network, using the shares I was able to allocate during the setup. Expanding the storage in future is covered by the instructions supplied. The web interface also has downloadable apps and a link to a "College" which explains the various uses that the store can be put to.The Drivestor can be used for much more complex demands than my simple photographic archive, but the economic price and high quality support made it the ideal solution for my problem. There's a 3-year warranty and all UK standards are met, with both UKCA and CE logos on the packaging and product.

Purchaced to replace a WD Mycloud Home that I have been using for 8+ years.The Asustor Drivestor 2 Pro Gen2 is a neat little 2 bay NAS that is easy to set up using the 'Asustor Control Center' app with a wealth of options available via the devices web interface. I Installed 2 SSD Drives and the unit is practicaly silent in operation.The speed via the 2.5Gb Ethernet port (my internal lan is already set up for 2.5Gb from Router, Network Switches and PCs) is lightning fast. Opening and saving documents on the Asustor Drivestor 2 Pro is as fast as opening them from my PCs hard drive.The web interface has a link that takes you to Asustors Online Help page that explains all the settings and options to you in detail. This is a proper NAS that can be used not only for storing documents and photos but running your own web server to running PLEX and a lot more!This is great value and a good introduction if you are looking to upgrade to a proper NAS system from a single drive storage system.

This is easy to set up and use with tool-less HDD installation. I've only had it a couple of monnths, so early days, but it's working well so far. Good value too considering the 2.5Gb ethernet port and excellent management software.

Nice product hardware-wise but lots of limitations in the software. So many things I had to do via SSH, which is OK for me, but the main reason me buying this is to have a hassle free and easy to manage NAS but this one falls short of my expectations. The fan was running high almost all the time, unit freezes on multiple occasions. Returned to seller.

Easy to set up a brilliant NAS

So good job I checked this before Christmas. Supplied with out UK power cord only with 2 pin lead ASUS no help what so ever. Fat chance I will get a proper mains lead from anyone Will have to get one from someone else.

Can't review the product as I'm unable to power it up. What am I supposed to do with a 2 prong plug here in the UK?

Very disappointed with this NAS, not sure what is happening but once NAS is on, I am getting kicked out of other public servers, mobile photo/video backup constantly reporting (fault connection). Customer support are not helpful, either ignoring emails or responses are vague, 1 email response in 4 days. No live chat option, meaning no real help.
