Wow
My first NAS: extremely satisfied with the possibilities.
Small performance issues, but probably due to my enthusiasm for running too many things at once.
Very satisfied for the moment!
TheASUSTOR AS5304T is a powerful 4-bay NAS server equipped with an Intel Quad-Core 1.5 GHz processor, 4 GB of DDR4 RAM and 2.5 GbE Gigabit Ethernet network connectivity. It can accommodate 4 hard drives or SSDs (2.5" or 3.5"), has 3 USB 3.1 ports and an HDMI 2.0a output. With its impressive multimedia capabilities and blazing performance, it is a first-class storage and streaming solution for gamers, streamers and fans of 4K UHD content.
This Nimbustor 4 NAS is packed with powerful components and features to help you do it all faster:
The quality and power of components are essential for any computer hardware to function properly. The Nimbustor 4 NAS is no exception. The Nimbustor 4 uses the Intel Gemini Lake Celeron J4105 Quad Core CPU which is 30% faster than the Apollo Lake CPUs. The Celeron J4105 also doubles the on-chip cache to 4MB, making the Nimbustor 4 one of the fastest NAS units ever designed. The Nimbustor 4 comes with 4GB of DDR4 RAM expandable to 8GB. DDR4 RAM offers up to 30% better performance than DDR3, while reducing power requirements by 40%.
Ultra-fast network connection and bandwidth aggregation are key features for a NAS server. Nimbustor 4 is equipped with two 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet ports. Get up to 150% higher performance than Gigabit Ethernet with compatible hardware and up to 5 Gbps using link aggregation. ASUSTOR NAS devices can also record live streams in up to 4K HDR resolution and save them directly to the NAS, without affecting gaming performance. For gamers without large hard drive storage capacities, LAN parties, and Internet cafes, ADM offers iSCSI to store less demanding titles for simultaneous playback on multiple devices.
The Nimbustor features HDMI 2.0a with 10Kbit 4K hardware decoding and VP9 10bit Profile2 for a smoother experience and reduced CPU usage. Use Plex Pass or a third-party player to play 4K HDR video. ASUSTOR NAS devices are designed for 24/7 operation and have undergone rigorous drop and burn tests, while high-quality internal heat sinks efficiently dissipate heat from sensitive components to preserve longevity. ASUSTOR leads the way in quality and backs this up with the longest warranty in the industry - a three-year manufacturer's warranty.
ASUSTOR's full backup solution offers over twelve backup options including Amazon S3, Dropbox, Google Drive and Onedrive. ASUSTOR's Backup Plan for Windows and Time Machine for macOS offer easy backups for desktops and laptops, while MyArchive removable hard drives provide cold storage. The Btrfs format, now supported with Snapshot Center, allows you to create snapshots. In case of unintentional changes, easily restore previous versions with Snapshot Center.
The AS-U2.5G can be easily plugged into a desktop or laptop computer to provide up to 2.5 times the speed of Gigabit Ethernet. Combine the AS-U2.5G with a NAS to bring speed to home storage that is indistinguishable from local hard drive storage. Supports 2.5 Gigabit speeds, while being backwards compatible with Gigabit and 100 Megabit networks, making the AS-U2.5G one of our most flexible network cards to date.

Very satisfied for the moment!
This is my first Nas and so far I am very happy with it! Plex runs perfectly even in 4K. I haven't tried transcoding yet though. Time Machine is well configurable. Thanks to LDLC who ensured in these difficult times. (Delivered in 24h! and responsive customer service via email)
