I don't get it - if i want to restore a single file from a snapshot, can i do that? - there's no way to browse the snapshot? - there's no way to change time between snapshots for an individual folder?

ADM also lacks the ability to backup for example Photo Gallery 3 data so if your system fails, you lose all your albums. The photos itself can be backed up but not the settings/app data. Astounding that a company which sells backup solutions for a living is not making sure its own apps are backed up.

Another missing feature is automatic reconnect of WireGuard VPN. It works for OpenVPN in ADM, but not WG.

ADM has folder encryption, but you cannot use it for photo folders and still use ASUSTOR’ photo app. You cannot use encryption on user home folders either. So basically it does not work for home privacy protection in case of theft.

Is the Patriot Viper VP4300 still working well after 3 years?

@Asustor The hardware is truly remarkable, and the price point is actually quite reasonable-kudos for achieving this balance! However, I have a suggestion that I believe resonates with a wider audience: please consider introducing a 5-bay NAS device. This isn't just a personal preference; many users seek a RAID 6 solution for its reliability, rather than just fast and large storage. A 5-bay setup is particularly appealing as it strikes the perfect balance-offering redundancy and storage capacity in the 20-40TB range while minimizing hard drive noise, which is a significant factor for many users. Another aspect worth considering is the exterior design of the NAS. The current design feels a bit outdated for 2024. With such hardware and software, the exterior should match the premium quality of the product. A modern, aesthetically pleasing design would enhance its appeal, particularly for users who want their NAS to blend seamlessly into premium environments. At this price point, the device clearly isn't aimed at the budget category, so it needs a design that reflects its premium positioning. As much as I value the features your solution provides, I would still lean toward a competitor like Synology simply because their devices align better with a modern and premium aesthetic, when a customer comes into my office everything has to scream high quality. I hope you consider these points for your future releases-there’s so much potential to make an already great product even better!

So, more than a year later, anyone got any long term test results? Does it continue to work. Is there a marked difference in performance between +4gb, +8gb and +16gb? I'm about to get a 423+ and am keen to hear how much difference it makes. Am I better off with a NVME cache? Is one better than the other for speeding thing up?>

The lack of a professional cloud backup with „time travel“ and restore options are stopping me from using this device

Okay. Now I want them to come out with a Jonsbo 4.5 NAS Case lol. The 4 not quite big enough and the 5 is too big lol. If the 4 had 6 easy remove hard drive back plane it would be perfect for me.

Hate how you make stupid faces

Does ADM have a task scheduler ui yet?

will it support lockerstor Gen 2 AS6704T ?

Thank you for the video. Will ADM run a full synchronization for RAID1 after every reboot?

It is also available with 8gb ram/256gb ssd for £192.50 delivered from geekbuying after a voucher.

Can this use PLP m.2 nvme drives? I've had issues with non server motherboards not being able to supply enough power to the drives

I have an AS6806T and the LED for drive six is always on after boot-up. It’s not blinking like the others. All six drives are used in a single volume with RAID 6. any ideas? ADM-bug?

Apart from the size, what is the down side of using say a cheap Dell 5820 as a NAS? I got one with 16gb ram, 1tb drive, W series Xeon for £60.

It’s sus

They still haven't fixed the scrubbing and raid sync been 2 tasks (manual, can't be scheduled) it's can be dangerous for your data because before running a raid sync you must always run a btrfs scrub first to make sure the filesystem is good (if raid sync is ran first and there is corruption in the filesystem it will sync that corruption to the parity making btrfs scrub unable to do a repair attempt) On Synology a data scrub automatically runs a btrfs scrub first then once finished it runs a raid sync and it can be ran as a schedule

Pho'os?

Oh my god what is this horrible garbage french version ... please take time for real and good subtitle, the voice over is inaccurate and simply horrible.

Start from the beginning... How is the thing connected? How are you showing this video? Do you connect the NAS to a monitor or through a USB to a PC or what?

Synology moved on, so the question is pointless really. Should Dell be afraid of Synology? That is the question...

Synology isn't worried because they decided a few years to stop focus/no longer give a shit...about private users..it's now all corporate and maximum profits for minimum efforts...in short, if you are still considering synology...you're dumb.

Synology SHOULD be worried because they are screwing up with their loyal customers ..... Synology ARE NOT worried because Asustor scored a massive own goal with their delusional screwed up pricing so they will not penetrate much if any of Synology's market share..... also a worrying LACK of support with issues with Asustor products and failing drive arrays has been noticed with quite a few threads on Reddit about it .... ADM 5 looks extremely promising ..... but as Newt said it won't make any difference....

A very bad decision. I use both Audio Station and Video Station a lot, even though I have Plex (and PlexAmp). This way they leave the consumer in the cold. Apparently they will focus on the Business user in the future. Question: As Video Station is not removed by the upgrade, does that mean it still functions properly under DSM 7.2.2.?

Synology should have already been worried. I've been using Synology NAS since 2011, and was very pleased with their hardware/software offerings. But current hardware is lacking to the point their that their software is no longer enough to keep me loyal to the Synology brand.

Did he discuss that the eero has zigbee & I don't think the Google nest does

I'm looking for a NAS to backup pictures from the family's mobile phones, so the mobile app needs to be easy to use. Which one is better from this perspective?

Professional, factual, very thorough - well done, thank you!

Is there an app for backing up a hole computer? You install some kind of agent on your station and it backs up computer to a nas. Then you restore it even on a diffrent hardware. Synology has it and it works great, it's called Active Backup For Business.

With the pricetag of 1230 eur?? nooo way, I would love to have that, but this price is a BIG BIG NO!! adding drives to it it would be 2000 eur. I am not that mental

Please don't enable youtube's auto dubbing feature, it's absolutely awful.

Good French translation

It certainly performs wonders and shits cucumbers but nothing compelling to switch from Synology. Yet. Your comments regarding the breakout of functions into separate apps makes for a very busy looking desktop. And, without SHR, I would be looking to buy a 6 bay and start with 3 drives in RAID 5 to leave me expansion flexibility.

Is it worth waiting till they improve? Do you think it is worth installing Unraid or Truenas Scale instead?

ASUSTOR is teaching us what a NAS should be today, unlike Synology, which decided to remove internal HEIC support to avoid slowness, instead of installing better hardware.

Why people usually show load times only aren't and weren't doing this? These comparisons are right; it easily shows to me that M.2 reduces stutter and loads textures faster,ps5 is using a slower speed

The Synology Hybrid RAID still seems like the biggest selling point to me! I just don't understand why other NAS brands haven't done something similar. If I've got a 4-bay NAS, I shouldn't have to replace all 4 drives just to get more storage. When I rebuild my NAS, I'll have to go with Xpenology again or UnRAID.

Hello, did you tried to play anything in 4K ? Is it possible to add external GPU ?

Always happy to see updates to the software across any of the NAS providers. Everytime time I see Asustor it makes me want to switch from Synology as my primary NAS. Also, that taskbar gives me anxiety everytime I see it 😂

Get us a Black friday deal for Gen 3 six bays, im in!

Considering this file "explorer" - i would consider this over Synology, which i currently have.

good morning Robbie.

The audio translation to Spanish it's awful, I'm from Spain and I prefer hearing you in English.

I also bought a TOPTON computer on Aliexpress and it arrived with an abnormal heating problem, after a short time it didn't work anymore and I couldn't return it, they didn't accept it. I threw my money away.

I didn’t realize having an external storage for me and my boys games would turn the system into what I remember a gaming system use to be. A quick access to multiple games (since modern games take awhile to load still) and multiple avenues of entertainment. We got like 90 games ready to fire up and multiple movies saved to watch at anytime we need. Best part is we can just pack up the storage device if we ever wanted to play elsewhere.
