Asustor AS6104T 4-bay NAS Review

Simon Crisp May 16, 2016 Featured Tech Reviews, NAS, Network

To test the Asustor AS6104T we used 4TB performance and 6TB standard NAS drives, in both cases drives manufactured by Western Digital.

The performance drives were four WD 4TB Red Pro's (WD4001FFSX, 7.200rpm, 64MB cache) while the standard drives were four 6TB Red drives (WD60EFRX, 5,400rpm class, 64MB cache). Each set of drives were built into all the RAID arrays supported by the device; RAID 0,1, 5.6 and 10 and then tested.

Software:
Atto Disk Benchmark.
CrystalMark 3.0.3.
IOMeter.
Intel NASPT.

To test real life file/folder performance we use a number of different file/folder combinations to test the read and write performance of the NAS device.  Using the FastCopy utility to get a MB/s and time taken for each transfer, the data is written from and read back to a 512GB SSD.

60GB Steam folder: 29,521 files.
50GB Files folder: 28,523  files.
12GB Movie folder: 24 files – mix of Blu-ray and 4K files.
10GB Photo folder: 621 files – mix of .png, .raw and .jpeg images.
10GB Audio folder: 1,483 files – mix of .mp3 and .flac files.

    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!
