Asustor AS5202T 2 Bay Nimbustor 2 NAS Intel Celeron J4005 Dual Core 2
The Nimbustor 2 utilizes the Intel Gemini Lake Celeron J4005 dual core CPU and is 30% faster than Apollo lake. The Celeron J4005 also doubles the on-chip cache to 4MB, making the Nimbustor 2 one of fastest NAS devices ever. The Nimbustor 2 comes with two Gigabytes of DDR4 RAM and can be upgraded up to 8GB. DDR4 RAM provides up to 30% greater performance than DDR3 while also lowering energy requirements by 40%. The Nimbustor 2 provides two 2.5-Gigabit Ethernet ports. Enable up to 150% faster performance than Gigabit Ethernet with compatible hardware and up to 5 Gbps using Link Aggregation. The AS52 series devices produce only 19 decibels of noise during system standby, equivalent to the almost inaudible sound of a pin drop. During system operation, only 32 decibels of noise is produced, equivalent to the hushed tones of a quiet library, allowing the AS52/53 series devices to seamlessly and comfortably integrate into any living environment. ASUSTOR NAS products are designed and developed around ecologically friendly concepts. When in use, devices consume far less power than the average computer or server. Furthermore, ASUSTOR advanced power control features allow you to more efficiently manage your NAS device and hard drives. This lowers your electric bill and prolongs the lifespan of your hard drives all at the same time. While in disk hibernation, the AS5202T consumes only 10.5 W of power. Under normal operating conditions it still only consumes 17 W of power.

I was looking at getting in to NAS's and stumbled upon this one, all the reviews online were really good so I decided to give this one a go. 2 months in works perfectly was easy to install and configure, runs plex really smooth, thinking of getting a second for redundancy.Overall if you are looking at getting into NAS this will be a great starting point and in terms of value for what you get this can be cheaper than some of the Synology NAS with the same if not more bang for your buck

Bought this for use as a storage and Plex server solution. Very happy with the result. Easy enough to setup, plenty of useful apps available and runs well as a Plex server. Was considering the QNAP TS-251 which included a remote control, handy for a media server connected directly to TV, but saved $250 and got this instead and used the extra cash on more internal storage.

Despite having my security as tight as I could on this, I was hit by Deadbolt attack this morning. No announcement from company to date. I highly do not recommend this company anytime soon. Only reason I gave 2 stars instead of 1 is the NAS did work flawlessly until this happened.

I did a lot of research looking for a fair priced, 2 bay NAS. I was down to this and the Synology. I was disappointed to find out that there doesn't seem to be any internal storage, such that, if you remove the drive in the first bay, it is as if you never setup the NAS. It seems that all of your user settings are stored on the 1st drive rather than internal storage. If you decide to move the 2nd bay to the first bay, (maybe because the first bay died) it will wipe all data on this new drive so that it can be re-setup.
I did a ton of research and bang for buck with features and design this was the best NAS I could get to upgrade from a WD and Buffalo NAS combo I was running.Setup was painless and it was up running super fast. When transferring file off old media I suggest using a usb 3 drive to more stuff over for faster speeds.The UI is very easy to navigate and plex runs super smooth on it.I would have liked for it to have more ram out of the box but it is an easy upgrade for later.
I would recommend this device for home use or small businesses. In my case I use it for a small business of 20 people. I am definitely considering this for my own use at home. I was surprised when I saw all the optional features that could be enabled. I would like to thank Asustor for this apprently lovingly crafted device.
The setup for this Nas was not straightforward. It took me about an hour and a half to figure out how to initialize my hard drive due to what appears to be errors in the software (what the user guide directed you to do you didn’t work). Thank God I have a tech background. My friend who got a Synology said he was up and running in 5 minutes. The Plex server only works for iOS devices (this is Plex’s problem) but Emby works For Apple TV. Only had it for a week in the server has hung once Doing a file transfer and I had to do a hard reset. When it works it’s great, but I’m not yet sold.
This thing does work with linux although I had to run the windows app to figure out how to connect to the NAS. The included quick start only showed me how to hook up the instrument and the user guide was windows/mac centered. The lessons learned were: 1) initially the way to connect to this device is: [ip address]:8000 2) If you do not use blank dis driven when they are expected, the NAS will not work as expected 3) the web interface on the NAS seems to be complete. If I did not include port 8000 in the ip address, I did not get a response from the NAS. Just providing some helpful info to those in the Linux world.
I bought noisy drives and they make noise. The enclosure itself is quiet. The Android music apps seems to crash from time to time. Still checking out the many features and applications that come with this. Definitely has NAS needs covered well. Still figuring out how to best use all the features that can really be useful beyond in home storage.
The NAS seems to be a pretty flexible unit. I like the app ecosystem, and the fact that it just runs docker containers on x86 implies I could probably just run whatever I wanted to if I needed. I installed home assistant to free up another SBC I was running, and it seems to run fine with it. Right now I have a pair of 4tb wd red plus in raid 1, and setup was painless. It had me update firmware on first boot, which was about 5 minutes. After that it offered a guided tour, which you could skip, and that was it. Once it was through it started synching the drives, and I was able to set up some samba shares while it finished. Had 3 computers using it as a backup target within an hour. (Why did MS decide to hide local backup options away? I don't want to use ... MoreThe NAS seems to be a pretty flexible unit.
