Asustor Lockerstor 6 Gen3 AS6806T 6 Bay NAS for Enthusiast (Diskless)

This is an amazingly effective versatile NAS. For what you get it is very cost effective. The company got 4 different NAS brands including the Q and S which we use on our 5 servers. This NAS outperforms all the other brands that cost 3 times more. After months of testing it now earned the 1st place crown and it is used as our main security data server. This Asustor is our 3de and we are so impressed with performance and ease of use that we are going to replace the other high end NAS systems with this exact model

This NAS was the best NAS and glad that I purchased it. I replaced my My Cloud with this NAS, very customizable and remote access is the best. Expandable and the value is unbeatable.

I bought this Jan 29th, and now the fans on this server is not working called Asustor and told me to start a ticket. They take forever to answer, I get one reply a day. Phone support is useless. They now sent me an RMA and won't pay for me to send the server to them to get fixed even though its their product defect. I did not get any reply from them yesterday so I checked again today to see if they would pay for the shipping or just return my money and keep their junk and I got a notice they are unavailable till the 21st. So I am without a server since the 11th, glad I have my synology still running. I have had 2 synology since 2012 and have had no issues with them to date. I was hesitant to buy this but loved all the extras and now I am paying for this chinese junk. Will update if things improve. RIght now a big Zero star for Asus and Asustor products won't be buying their products anymore. Mr Jeffrey Wong is a very bad customer Represantative withe a bad attitude. Did nothing to help take care of the problem I had with the server I bought less than 4 months ago. I been in touch since June 11th and he kept blaming Rep Victor for not telling me that I have to pay to ship the server to them to get it fixed even though it was a defective product that I should not have to pay to ship after spending 2000$ buying it. He kept saying the RMA states you have to pay for it and would not do anything to correct the problem. He than accused me of being disrepectfull when I stated the facts that any good company would do whatever it take to fix the problem and keep their customers happy if their product was defective. I also asked him if there was anyway I could get my money back and I would take the loss to ship the server back to him. He than closed the ticket stating I was not willing to be co-operative and shipped me a fan with a youtube video to install it and did not state if me opening the system would avoid my warranty.I wish I could return this to Amazon but the return window has closed. This is a typical chinese company with bad customer service and bad product. They will not stand behind their product will do anything to not fix their defective products. Will make accusations, if that does not work will just close the ticket and leave you on your own. I will never buy another Asus product ever again, do recommend their products. Under their Warranty this is what is states: Additional Notes: Unless prohibited by law, customers are responsible for the shipping of RETURNED ITEMS to ASUSTOR. Shipments must contain a tracking number. For models with a five year warranty, please refer to the following link: Product Support Status | ASUSTOR NAS. I am not returning it, I am sending it for repair so they can fix their defected product. So now you see how Asus takes care of their customers. They sell defective products and then try to make you pay to get it fixed. So now i am stuck with this junk, I should have bought a Synology had 2 of those never had a problem. On paper this looked good so I got it now I am paying for it. Do not make the same mistake do buy Asus products.

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.

Totally blows away Qnap and presents a cleaner OS vs. Synology. The speed of this box is no joke. The OS is quite polished and so much better than than the so-called YT experts would have you believe. Thoroughly impressed and completely satisfied with this purchase. If WOL (Wake on Lan) is a critical function, avoid this unit. This functionality doesn't work.

this Nas does a better job of handling multiple units added to it. plenty of power for plex! did upgrade the ram to 32gb. very easy to do!

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.

This is a really nice NAS drive. The only reason I give it 4/5 stars is because I wish the price was a little lower. I think it's too expensive for a NAS drive. You could buy a used storage server for this price. The installation was pretty simple and so far it's been reliable after more than a year.

Works well, makes my 3D production from rendering on multiple machines to final edits very efficent, it does hang every now and then requiring a reset, but overall happy just wish I had bought the 10 bay version

Amazing piece of kit. Not cheap by any means, but amazingly powerful. Simple, basic, Linux-based OS, "official" support for wiping the supplied OS and using TrueNAS/FreeNAS/etc, all the arrays are basic mdadm arrays. Tons of apps (but I don't use them because I just want a NAS but they work), enterprise-grade management and features, and with the 10 bay version and the 4 NVMe bays in it, more than enough space, and can be expanded with up to 3 x USB4 expansion units to 22 drives and 4 NVMe in total. Hotplug drives, simple setup. I don't like two things about it - it tries to automatically claim disks that are inserted into positions that were previously occupied by an array disk (do NOT put in a drive with data you want to keep... instead pop it into a USB enclosure and connect it as an external drive), and similarly it cannot read existing arrays (unless you're prepared to tamper a LOT on the Linux command line and bring them in by hand). Fast, able to take a lot of traffic from a lot of different sources simultaneously (e.g. I was mirroring from two other NAS over the network, and some backed up data from my local computer, and using it for media viewing all at the same time, and it laughed at it), plenty of expansion and features and ports. A really nice simple GUI over the top and at first I believed it was telling lies and breaking my drives, but actually no - it was spotting data corruption that was NOT showing on SMART on some ancient drives. It didn't care, it worked around it (the RAID6 literally got syslog entries saying that a drive was returning incorrect data - on a fresh array - so it was taking the majority view of the RAID6 for those sectors... even though SMART registered no fault with the drive. Didn't even mark the array as degraded as it could reconstruct the sector and rewrite it to the faulty drive and just carry on). Those drives were, in fact, faulty and it spotted them when my old NAS hadn't. Very heavy when fully loaded, but very meaty in what it can deliver. I haven't been this impressed by a NAS in a long time. The apps also seem to "just work" and it appears to be a great device for home, power-user or high-end enterprise use. I would gladly have this in my IT department as a NAS for users or backups.

I've used Windows for years, so working with the Linux file system in the Lockerstor is a BIG step. I have a pair of blank 18 TB drives set up as a RAID array, plus 3 used drives. Still have no idea how to browse the other drives with content that I don't want to format without knowing what's on them.

Funciona perfecto gran compra
