Asustor AS6104T 4-bay NAS Review

We tested the peak power consumption of a NAS at the wall during a run of CrystalDiskMark 5.0.2  as this version of the benchmark runs the read and write benchmark suites separately so its easier to monitor what power the device is using during each function.

power consumption
There's no real surprise in the arrays built with WD's standard Red drives showing less power usage than the ones built with Red Pro drives as the standard Red drives use power a bit more thriftily than their faster spinning cousins; average peak read/write power requirements for the 6TB Red drives is 6.4W and 5.2W at idle while the  4TB Red Pro's peak at 8.6W with 6.5W used during idling.

  1. Great review sir! I noticed back at the end of Jan / early Feb 2016, the AS6104T as well as the AS6204T dropped in price, over 100EUR. I had my eye on the AS5104T for a while. Do you have any opinion if the AS6104T is better? Mainly because its even cheaper than the AS5104T now. The obvious difference is that the AS6104T supports 4k HDMI (which my current TV doesn’t support).

    Thanks!
