I was planning on building myself a custom TrueNAS system from my home and family storage needs, but after doing a lot of research on what kind of hardware I’d need, I decided to look at simpler NAS units for my near term needs, and the Drivestor 4 was the cheapest 4-bay model on the market from a reputable manufacturer with the most recent technology. I wanted a 4-bay unit so that I could set it up with two drives in a RAID 1 mirror and still have room for future growth.I loaded it with two Seagate Ironwolf 6 TB HDDs (the largest 5400 RPM version they make), and much to my surprise, even though the unit lives in my bedroom just a few feet away from my head, it doesn’t disturb me at night. I built a passively-cooled PC with no moving parts to eliminate noise in my bedroom, and I’m happy to say the Drivestor 4 with the two Seagate drives is extremely quiet. I barely hear the drives periodically spinning up. I used 5400 RPM drives because high performance is less of a priority for me than low noise and low power consumption. This unit is being used for long-term archival storage, not constant workloads.One thing I will note is that the default orientation of the unit puts the drives on their sides, so I elected to lay the unit on its side, so that the drives are flat, and the motherboard is at the bottom. The RAID 1 with the two 6 TB drives took about 12-13 hours to synchronize.I haven’t much investigated setting up any applications to run on the Drivestor, but there’s a good selection of them. At some point, I will probably set up Transmission to manage distribution of any open source software I like to use, and maybe some sort of photo/asset management server or media server. As it is, my smart TV easily connects to the Drivestor via SMB. Although both the Drivestor and my PC support 2.5 Gb Ethernet, I elected not to purchase a 2.5 Gb Ethernet switch, so I am using regular 1 Gb Ethernet between the two and my WiFi 6 router (AX1500) for everything else. I also use a Raspberry Pi running Pi-hole, so I’m hoping in the future I can consolidate that function into the Drivestor.In the future, I am hoping to get a second unit to set up at my mother’s home and create a VPN tunnel between our home networks, so we can mutually backup our family data repository. I should have done this years ago, but it probably would have been a lot more money and a lot more trouble. Based on my initial impressions, I’d definitely recommend this unit for home and family use. One part I think could be improved is if Asus made it easier to install cryptographic security certificates on the Drivestor, to more easily enable secure connections to the unit.

I do cybersecurity, and I'm not a fan of "canned servers". That being said, unlike many of my colleagues I can't afford fancy things so sometimes we must look for diamonds in the rough, and take a risk that there is just roughI went for the AS1104 version, which is ARM based. There is no graphics output on the back (unless you count USB).I am proud to say it runs Linux (mine had 4.9.119). The web interface was not helpful, as I didn't want to put disks in it until I know what it was going to do with them (disks are required to get past the first page of web setup).On the _awesome_ side:-it was running ssh, and I could log in using the default passwords as root and use the shell to change passwords. Busybox is the "shell"-It also runs lighttpd, which is a smaller (and usually more secure) webserver-It looks like it supports IPv6 (dhcp6c is in there)-RPM {RedHat Package Manager} is in BusyBox-Based on the modules, it supports encryptfs, nfs, cifs (windows shares), and isofs-There are a few of the sound kernel modules in there, though any sound device would need to be USB and I don't see usb sound device supportUnfortunately it doesn't have iptables or smartctl, though it does have a lot of the iptable kernel modules (filter, mangle, nat, ipt_MASQUERADE, ipt_REJECT, etc.). For a NAS, some way of implementing network blocking and SMART queries should be there. I haven't tested if these can be added with rpm (yet).While it would be good to have iptables. and desirable to have loopback mount support* for on-the-fly drive compression (LZ4, etc.) and some more filesystem choices (UFS Apple/Macs cough), the accessibility that Asustor has allowed is fantastic and should not be overshadowed by these items.All of the above is written before actually trying to serve attached storage, so more to come later.UPDATE 1:-It *does* have loopback device support.-It does not, for some reason, have NTFS, AAFS/HFS+ (older Mac), or ZFS (BSD/Solaris) support. These modules are already in Linux, so this is not difficult to do to supports this. This would be handy if for just transferring files to the NAS off old media.-It is missing support for some useful USB drivers (WiFi, V4L Video capture, etc.) that are included in standard Linux kernels. These could have been included as part of the base system compile, thus not terribly time consuming from a development point of view.-It will detect USB disks, but the web service doesn't count that as a disk for going forward.UPDATE: Have it configuredI noticed some folks onlie seem to thing of this thing as a full fledged server. It isn't (particularly the AS1104), as the ARM cpu and 1G RAM can only do so much. If you're serving disks and have some other light tasks (DHCP, etc.) this is great. It's not going to run your Oracle/SQL Server database, and it's not going to do the full post editing and CGI rasterization for "Avatar". If you use it for the home / small office NAS as it was meant to be it should be fine,.Mine came with ADM version 4.0 from the box. There is an update. You can download it to your computer then upload it to the NAS if you want.The GUI was a bit confusing. I did like how I did not have to have a direct external connection for it to the internet to enable it (there is a cloud login option, but it can be bypassed). The services took awhile for the system to figure out what was on and off after going through the initial setup. All I can say is be patient. If you can see SSH is off, and it says that it's already on when you press accept to turn it on, just be patient. Eventually it'll figure out it's off, and when you press accept it'll do what it's supposed to. This includes system reset. I rebooted my AS1104 after doing a system reset and it took another 5-10 min to actually enact the reset. The system reset is not a full reset wither-- the ADM 4.2 remained active afterward.The GUI was great for setting up disks, users, etc. The first volume you set up gets to become the default volume and also gets some system storage stuff put on it. I have one smaller disk and three big disks for RAID 5. I initialized the smaller disk first and it took that hit, leaving the large RAID array fully available for what I need to use it for.My earlier concerns on SMART info is mitigated by the GUI "Storage Manager" having an option to check the SMART stats. Unfortunately it interprets "Pre-fail" as being "normal", but the quantitative measures are in the report for detailed analysis.If you like, you can SSH into the OS and fine tweak permissions.I liked that it had an option for Appletalk / netatalk shares, including time machine support. It also had a (potentially) wonderful option to place Time Machine on a quota (Time Machine typically and happily fills any disk it's given to the brim, typically requiring a specific partition to keep any given Mac from filling your network share)The quad core ARM was nice for having 2-3 compression jobs running in the background while leaving a core free to handle interrupt I/O requests. As I mentioned before, it's not the fastest, but background compression can take it's time.There are two concerns I have so far. One is the RAID 5 sync time is taking forever. The GUI says after my initial repopulating, the data syn will be going on for over a day. That seems a bit--excessive. I don't want to think of what will happen if there is a power outage while the hashing / ECC for RAID 5 continues to run.The other is I haven't tried to rebuild the array with a new disk. I'm not sure how this would work via the GUI--there doesn't seem to be anything in the "Storage Manager" application. At least there is mdadm, hdparm, and parted command line tools via ssh which can be used to remove the bad disk, get the serial number for pulling the correct, physical bad disk, and partitioning a new disk over 2TB in size to be reinserted in the array.Thank you Asustor for including and allowing the user to access the low level tools so it can get fixed even if the fancy, easy method doesn't work.

I had a few issues in getting this device, which already gave me a negative view of the item.I'm glad I went pushed through all the delivery issues though, as this item is very good.Installing the hard drives was easy, configuration was just as easy.A few moments ago I dropped 2 episodes of a show on to the thing. It took about 5 seconds each (avg 65 - 70mb/s). This will differ depending on your network and number of devices utilising said network, but so far I'm happy.The only issues I'm having is with EzConnect, which doesn't seem to be able to connect to the device even though the app on the device says its configured correctly. I'll look into this once I have all my DVDs and Blu Rays on the thing, as at the moment I don't need spend time on connected from an external network. I will update the review once I get around to it.

Il n'est pas operationnel, mais je pense qu'il va me rendre les services que j'attends de lui.Le parametrage, selon un professionnel, a ete un peu long, mais je pense obtenir de très bons résultats.CordialementYvon
