Asustor Xpanstor 4 AS5004U, 4 Bay Uitbreidingseenheid USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type C NAS Opslagcapaciteits Uitbreider

Bought this expansion unit to add onto an existing Flashstor. Installed 4 healthy 8tb SATA drives, built a RAID5 volume which was very slow to initialise fully (took over a week, maxed out the SMB processes on the Flashstor). Once fully built, the new volume promptly disappeared. Nothing in the log files, no errors shown. Drives are all fine. Sent the unit back as I didn't want to wait another week for it to try again. Quite disappointed in this expansion unit given how good the Flashstor is.

Simple d'utilisation

I got this as an expansion addition to my Asustor Lockerstor AS6706T (6 bay, 4 occupied, 2 left for spare install.) So far it works pretty well!!! This model is the newest one that Asustor currently offers at the time of this review. The only thing I didn't initially like is the styling...the front cover panel is an angular magnetic snap on panel which really doesn't match the styling of the main unit AS6706T. Other than that the performance seems quite good as it interfaces with the main unit via a USB 3+ connection. I have it configured as BTRFS RAID 5 format which allows 1 disk failure before replacement and rebuild and also allows snapshots which if a file gets deleted I can revert to an earlier date version for recovery. I'm trying to mostly use this volume as a zipped files directory backup for somewhat archival purposes--fingers crossed it will do what I need it to do!!! My main unit I have WD NAS REDs and this unit I have WD Desktop Blues--trying to separate/segregate the drive types per box so I can see how each performs. So far I am able to direct stream with PlexServer/PlexAmp with no issues other than slow network connections. Just a note that setup was decently easy using the ADM Software provided through the Asustor NAS management web portal.

Muy fácil de poner en marcha, se conecta, se configura el tipo de RAID y, una vez que ha terminado, a funcionar. Admite mucho almacenamiento y no necesitas otro sistema operativo ya que se maneja desde el principal del Flashstore. Me parece muy buen producto y muy práctico a la hora de añadir almacenamiento. Además combina muy bien estéticamente con el Flashstore.

Ich bin sehr zufrieden mit dem Produkt, Funktioniert einwandfrei mit AS6204T NAS,
