– Asustor FLASHSTOR 6 Gen2 FS6806X 6-Bay M.2 SSD NAS Network Memory, AMD Ryzen Quad Core 2.3GHz, 8GB DDR5 RAM, 6 M.2 SSD Slots, 10GbE Port, USB4 Type-C, Connected Network Storage

I bought the Asustor FLASHSTOR 12 Pro Gen2 FS6812X to consolidate all my scattered USB drives and multiple storage setups into one fast, centralised system—and it’s been a fantastic upgrade. Here’s what stands out: I installed six 4TB NVMe drives and set them up in RAID 5, giving me around 20TB of usable space with redundancy. 12 x M.2 SSD slots offer massive potential for future expansion, and make this NAS totally silent—no spinning disks here. Dual 10GbE ports provide blazing-fast transfer speeds—file moves and backups are quick and effortless. The Ryzen Quad Core 2.3GHz CPU and 16GB ECC DDR5 RAM handle everything smoothly, even under load. The Asustor OS is clean and powerful with great tools for backup, media, Docker, and more. USB4 Type-C is a nice touch for external device access. Yes, it’s on the expensive side, but with these specs and performance, I think it’s worth every penny. If you’re looking for a high-performance NAS with tons of SSD storage potential, excellent speed, and a future-ready setup—this is it.

Don't let the weird PS4 shape put you off, also the rather plasticky build. The device itself is super easy to use, from the installations of the NVME drives (toolless), and upgrading the memory. I upgraded mine to 16gb using some Crucial (https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08C4WV6FT?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1). The downloadable ASUSTOR Control Center app made installation of the NAS a breeze. The interface is snappy and quick on 16gb. The official heatsinks are a little overpriced (https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0CFTYRK3J?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title) and should really have been included. I would recommend some sort of heatsinks for keep things cool. Just be careful if you intend to add NVME drives with existing heatsinks as they might too tall and may obstruct the cooling fan or worse still prevent you from putting the fixture plate back on. Across a 2.5gb link, I've managed to saturate the available bandwidth reliably and consistently. The app store although not the same level as QNAP or Synology, has some of the most common apps available, so not felt as though I missed out using ASUSTOR ADM. Overall, pleased with the device and as a Flash NAS is makes a compelling reason to ditch the mechanical equivalents, although it will be far more expensive to populate.

Great item silent running, easy to setup and attractive too. As they are SSDs fast and reliable. Absolutely no issues. Now just got to get a handle on Plex!

Already running two Synology NAS setups. following several drive failures I was keen to get going on SSD NAS drives. This device is spot on, though initially, I struggled to get one through lack of stock, when it arrived it was worth the wait. A couple of things you need to consider though! In at number 1 is the SSD's, the temptation, of course, is to go a little cheaper but increase your storage capacity, but speed plays a huge part, I ended up going with some nice intel SSD's that were on offer, now I am getting huge throughput copying close to 150 Mb's over the network, so please think about what you are going to put inside of it. In at number 2, the interface. This of course is subjective but being used to DSM, I found the ASUS GUIi a touch clumsy and sometimes slow, other people I am sure will disagree but I think its a fair comparison, with that said it does everything you would expect and though not always obvious you should find no big differences. Overall its a slick looking device, perhaps a little Media player looking compared to a synology, but who cares?! It will sit somewhere happily churning out data to your network. I would 100% recommend this, it's expensive to get started but you won't regret it. My only regret is I didn't buy the 12-bay version but hindsight is a wonderful thing.

Fantastic system, be prepared to spend some money on the SSD's but you'll be aware of that if purchasing this system. Works really well, I only use basic features do haven't delved into the numerous apps available. Never expereinced any drop outs or overheating, although I did purchase the heatsinks for the SSD's which IMO should be included.

Using 6 no. Samsung 2TB EVO Pro and maxing out the network connections; JBOD though as do not wish the capacity reduction and it is not my main NAS. Works perfectly, no issues and virtually silent. Application software is fine and easy to use.

software is Glitchy and no customer service in the UK

Appareil défectueux expédié (à mes frais !) en Hongrie il y a un semaine. Aucun nouvelle depuis ! Instructions de retour contradictoires. Le colis se trouve à présent à Budapest où, bien entendu, ils ne savent qu'en faire ! Pour un matériel de plus de 1000 euros + frais d'achat de NVME et de mémoire, c'est très, très décevant ! La solution la plus simple à ce problème serait de m'envoyer un nouvel appareil QUI FONCTIONNE !

Best flash NAS you can buy for the price, especially if you grab it on a sale. I've never had Asustor NAS, so coming from Synology GUI to Asustor was a breeze. Its a very similar GUI, albeit a bit more clunky. Inital setup is very quick and easy. It has a single 10GBaseT (UTP RJ45) network outlet, but auto negotiates to the speed of your network device, 1000/10000. It only has 4GB RAM so I have upgraded it to 16GB. I'm mainly using this as a Plex server, storing my Movies & TV and steaming 4K from it. Running RAID 5 BTRFS across 8x Gen4 4TB SSDs - Power consumption is small, idle is 26.7W, and copying a large 130GB 4K movie file is around 38W - with the file copying across at 893MB/sec. Moving the file from PC to FS6712X was copying across at 530MB/sec. Temps of my unit & SSDs are also respectable with CPU@ 60 Celsius & SSDs around 42 Celsius (27 Celsius in room) while copying the 4K movie I am very happy with the flash NAS - it is also whisper quiet, no hard drive vibrations and very little fan noise.

Acquistato per realizzare delle macchine virtuali nella mia rete domestica, utilizzando Proxmox. Ho aumentato la Ram a 16Gb con due banchi di memoria compatibili da 8GB. Home Assistant, File server, Home Bridge e altro ancora, finalmente ho spento i diversi piccoli server che avevo in giro per la casa, tutto in un'unica macchina. Funziona senza sosta ormai da un anno, ottimo acquisto.

FS6712XとFS6707Tの両方を 10GBのLAN環境でメモリ16GB、2TBのSSD6本と12本のRAID5で利用しています。 FS6707T LAGRound‐Robinで利用なのでSEQ読出しは600MB/sで書込みは300MB/sでます。 こっちに10GBのLAN搭載されていればベストバランスかも知れません。 FS6712X SEQ読み書きは1200MB/sでます。 M.2はGen3でもGen4でも低発熱チップのSSDの選択を強く推奨します。 筐体が樹脂なので放熱性能は低いです。（下部にファンが付いるので上段のSSDは冷やせません） ※読み書き中は60℃を超えるSSDが12本も入っているので、これは仕方ないです。 ADMという基本OSの更新ありますがアプリは1～2年以上更新が無いものがほとんどです。 同期系のアプリ、DataSyncとEzSyncなど便利そうなアプリはありますが ファイルが大量にあるとエラー吐きまくるので改善して欲しいです。 他社製品のようにアプリでいろいろやりたい場合は残念な結果になるのでお勧めできません。 特に自動同期して利用するBackUp用途には不向きです。 もう少し更新頻度上げて、アプリの同期処理など頑張って改善して欲しいところです。 HDDの騒音が無く、薄くて軽くて、LAN環境に合わせた速度が出るのが最大の利点です。 USB3.2Gen2のポートが両機種とも2つあり2本ずつUSB3.2接続して外部機器として利用います。 こちらもシーケンシャル1200Mb/sで利用でき、ネットワークドライブ登録も可能です。 同期でエラーや不具合が多く利便性は低い製品なのでお勧めはできません。 2.5GBまでのLAN環境ならHDDで良いと思います。 Asusの子会社なのでもう少し頑張って欲しいです。 ※加筆 2024/9/26にADM更新と一緒にDataSync他、多くのアプリ更新きました 同期がどうなるかは様子見中です → 1週間エラーでずっと同期中でしたが止まりました 対応が早かったので星一つ追加です 2024/10/11 SMBバックアップの次回のスケジュールが延々と過去日です。 いまのところ、本来の目的であるバックアップ用途には不向きな製品です。 星一つマイナスです。

After receiving asustor. I ordered ssd from crucial. 1st ct 1000p 500ssd. It fitted perfectly in the slot but device did not work. After doing research I found this is not compatible and then I brought cr 1000 mx 500ssd1. This I confirmed from list in asustor of compatible ssd. This is again not compatible. Both ssd are waste of money. They are non refundable and useless for me now.
