This Asustor NAS exceeds my requirements. It was purchased to replace an older Netgear NAS and I am not disappointed. I found the learning curve was easy. High quality with excellent connectivity. In addition to using it to store backups for 6 computers, I use to store duplicate files.

My new NAS is finally up and running and I'm transferring data to it at the time of writing. I like the product but there are a few gotchas to be aware of. If you want to add memory, one slot is easy to get to but the other requires the user to dismantle the unit. I found by accident, a video which takes you through the process step by step. This helped a lot so check their website and find that. Purchasing memory for main and cache was tricky as you need to find compatibility info on their website as not all manufacturer's memory will work. But my number 1 tip is get all your memory and hard drives from somewhere which has a better returns policy than Amazon before ordering the server from Amazon. I ordered the server first and then faced delays getting the HDs. My return period was almost up before everything arrived and I could build and test it. E.g. WD's current lead time is weeks after Amazon's return policy would expire so I ended up ordering alternative HDs. I like the product, it seems very fast and the user interface is way better than my old WD4100. Very easy to configure and use. Btw. If you add cache memory, be aware that you need to configure it, it doesn't work automatically.

Although I am still in the middle of installing my Asustor Lockerstor 4 Gen3 AS6804T, the process has been straightforward so far. After installing the 2.0 TB SATA drives from my old HP (defunct) NAS, the Asustor informed me that two of the drives were faulty. After replacing them with new 2.0 TB drives, I now have a functional RAID 6 array. My final step is to set up user accounts and define how I want ongoing backups to be done. The built-in user interface is a novel (and quite useful) adjunct to the ASUSTOR Control Center PC application, which is easy to use and has very flexible options. Fit and finish are excellent. Over time, I'll also populate the four NVMe M.2 slots.

This is a high-quality product with a lot of features, but with a caveat: the documentation is not very easy to follow for non-NAS experts, and it can be challenging to find the most updated instructions for this particular model. I've now got it up and running with 4x16tb drives in a 5 RAID setup, and I'm happy with the performance and the capabilities.
