"Network Drive" NAS with 4 NVME, HDMI and a LOT More ... Asustor LOCKERSTOR 4 Gen 2

[@PCPresupuestos]

Hi. The motherboard of the M.2 NVMe is PCIe 3.0 x4 and distributes 1 PCIe lane for each M.2 NVMe unit, so its maximum speed will be 875 MB/s for each M.2 NVMe unit. The Asustor Asustor LOCKERSTOR 4 Gen 2 has the possibility of doing link aggregation and having speeds of 5 Gbps with its two 2.5 Gbps RJ45 ports, it also has the possibility of replacing the PCIe board with the 4 M.2 NVMe with a network card with 10 Gbps and two M.2 NVMe units (the Asustor AS-T10G3). This way you could have a speed of 15 Gbps by doing link aggregation with the two 2.5 Gbps ports and the 10 Gbps port. You can also place 5 Gbps USB network cards in each of its two USB 3.2 Gen2 ports (WAVLINK USB C to Ethernet Adapter 5 Gbps) so that with a link aggregation you would get speeds of 25 Gbps. Greetings!

well you just helped me make my decision on my next home lap purchase.

Have I missed the max total storage capacity? Per storage type in each desk size & Nvme M.2

Nice Review Boss!!! I can confirm that a Sabrent USB 3.0 Hub will work in the back port as I have a Cyberpower UPS connected for smart shutdown management and also have a 16TB FANTOM backup drive connected. The Cyberpower UPS is "special" as it generates a PURE SINE WAVE and *not* a noisy modified sine wave!!! I settled on the TEAMGROUP brand of RAM and M.2 SSD as it had excellent Amazon reviews and was VERY reasonably priced!!! And I just couldn't set up this NAS without installing a Lifetime License of PLEX!!! Just a note that I came from a Western Digital MYCLOUD appliance that was antiquated and kludgy... ASUSTOR blows WD MYCLOUD *OUT OF THE WATER!!!*

hi, I would need your help with my NAS story. A long story short, I was looking for a nas solution for my home and I was indicated the nimbustore4 - I looked a bit for it and saw that it usually has nvme slots, so I can optimise it. Unfortunately they considered I dont need smthg like this so I bought gen one not gen2, not knowing that there are two identically looking but with or without nvme slots. Now my system is doing copy for the 3rd day in a row... It is bought last week from amazon. What can I do to repair a situation likt this? buy a new nimbus 2 gen2 for ex to cut expenses? sync them one to the other? Write to Asustor directly to try a solution with them? Probably they would have the module to stich it into the gen1 to make it gen 2 ? I-m kinda stuck as all my databases are in the process of transfer. Thanks in advance, Marius.

Very helpful video...I currently have the previous model with 2 harddrives as a RAID1...but wanted to add 2 more drives to do Raid 5. Will it allows me to initialize the 2 new drives without wiping out my already installed drives, thanks!

It seems to have a good number of applications and the additional SSDs is a real bonus for a four drive system.

Awesome review! Thank you ☺️

Thx for the vid RJ nice one

Minor Correction - Intel (if you read the "?" in their spec sheet) is saying it is 16Gb "per channel", so with 2 channels it is 32Gb max.

[@akmediaproductions]

Look good do you recommend any 6 x NVME M.2 enclosure with 10gig for NAS..

[@RepaireroftheBreach]

What good is 4 NVME slots with a 2.5G connector? NVME's can do up to 6000 MB/s but 2.5G ethernet is capped around 260 MB/s... am I missing something?

[@handrzej]

IT depends on PCIe generation and how many lanes you can use... With N5105 CPU every M.2 will do lower performance than NVMe PCIe3 disc...

Wondering if I can attach a USB 4K UHD drive and rip movies to this.

[@LeslieDugger]

As mentioned, people really should use 2 8GB matched RAM sticks.. In General, unmatched RAM will give you some "quirks"...

[@kerrylensin1230]

Looks robust and the 4 M.2 are just tempting.
