@@theTechNotice That’s good to know. I’m not sure if you’re aware but Sonnet Technologies manufacturers a really great Thunderbolt Dock that has two (2) NVME SSD slots with 40gbps bandwidth plus some more USB-C ports for Mac and Windows machines. It’s great and has the same speed as those single-drive enclosures you reviewed in your “Storage Guide for Mac” video which I absolutely loved!
So chris, did you buy the asustor nvme box? Now, 5 months later, we can buy a 4tb nvme from $250 to 320$ for the asus 990 pro. Seems like a better use of funds, depends on how much you value backup redundancy. Gary
I have to say this is the best instructional on setting up a NAS I have seen. Better than the branded NAS systems I even own. I would suggest if one could do a episode on all things on setting up, trouble shooting NAS systems. Really great stuff.
Hey everyone! Marco here! We're always happy to see when our prducts get reviewed and thank you to Tech Notice for taking a look at our products! We always love honest feedback so if you have any questions, comments, praise or criticism, feel free to let me know by replying to me! Thanks again!
@@theTechNotice I can grab a CM3588 NAS kit for under $200 bucks and a 3d printed case for it is like $15. That has quad core, NPU, 16GB of RAM, 64GB EMMC, 4x PCIE 3.0x1, HDMI in and out, and a 2.5g NIC. If you can match or beat those specs by a bit, I'd be willing to go up to $300-350, considering the warranty plus fit and finish of an injection molded case.
At 22:46 , the internal SSD of a first gen MBA M1 has already 2.5 GByte/s. In that box you put in NVME SSD having 4 GByte/s or even more and slow it down with that bottle neck 10 Gbits network interface. That is NOT a replacement for the internal storage. ICY Box has inexpensive boxes having Thunderbolt4/USB4 interfaces, building external storage with them is a competing external storage extension. As slow backup devices, a RAID5 storage makes sense. Using RAID5, I recommend to set it up with at least one hot spare disk and not only by the mandatory parity disk. For that, you can use directly RAID6, makes administration and handling much easier 😅.
I would never use parities on nand. I use raid 0 and I do backups in SSD backup enclosures. Huge performance and saving resources. And it’s always important to consider the type of data you backup. For private usage or even for some business cases ssd enclosure is the way to go but in some business cases I go for tape enclosures or a combo splitting long and short term backups. Anyways great video.
This feels kind of misleading. Yes you can get 96 TB of SSD storage in this NAS but the cost is going to be almost $11,000. so comparing it to Apple is not really in line with the title.
@@nikolarajkovic3558 you can't carry with you ... the power consumption is like 10x ... running it off the laptop will suck up all the juice in like 1hr LOL
@RunForPeace-hk1cu it’s been 3 months, so I don't remember fully, but isn't this a NAS? You don't carry a nas with you. And you don't attach it to a computer directly. You connect it to your network, and then you connect it to any devices you need. You can access the nas anywhere you have internet as long as you set up a vpn on your network and set up port forwarding.
@@chrism6880It’s kind of the other way around? Residential users are the only ones with their personal data at stake. Large Enterprises are just risking other people’s data, and their own revenue.
I have one of these populated with 12x 4TB LEXAR 790 (best TBWI could justify, far higher than normal NVME SSD = 48TB (after RAID 5 and 1 hot spare = 44TB) and 16Gb RAM. Its brilliant. Cannot complain.
gonna need a follow up video after say a year of use .. to see if things are holding up in this beast. If so- it looks sweet. If not - well I could see a lot going wrong with this thing
11:00 I'll respectfully disagree on "Obtain IP Address Automatically", especially if you're planning to use your NAS as a media server. If the router ever decides to give it a different IP, you'll now have to reconfigure any device that needs to connect via IP with the new one. If you have a static one for the NAS, you know what the IP is at any given time.
As prices drop this may make sense… 12/29/24 WD has 8TB NvMe for $579 so rounded $600 x 12 =$7,200.00 + $800 for NAS add Taxes and we’re around 96 (TB) - 8 (TB for Raid) so $8400 - 88(TB) = $95 per TB Starting to clarify itself.
Very interesting. We still have an older custom-built RAID-6 server using hi-end spinning drives and 60 TB. It is reliable and only had 2 drive failures in 8 years. But it is a pain with sharing on the network. It uses one Mac as the gateway for any other users to connect. One attractive thing originally was connecting with Thunderbolt 2 for extra speed, but the optical cables proved to be very flaky and very sensitive to heat and if you looked at the cables wrong, it would disconnect. If that gateway Mac needs a reboot, everyone using the server needs to save and log off until that Mac is back up. It also needs special drivers and other issues that make it a pain. It does have 2-drive redundancy and are hot-swapable which is nice. Just have to use the exact same type of drive and if you use larger drives, I guess it's hard wired into not seeing the extra storage. How reliable, long-term, are current SSDs? Would this be a good option to replace my current mostly-custom server?
This is an average machine that doesn't draw too many watts. The SFF is the main selling point but it runs incredibly hot up to 80C on the cpu if some mods are not made to add fans. Currently Running ZFS on this machine and only Read and write about 100Mb/s
Wow!!! Incredible. I appreciate the tech you open up for us. I was surprised the speed was a little lower than I thought it would be over a 10G LAN... but 500 to 700 MB/s is still useful, plus the point you made that it's a fast NAS with redundancy. You could have configured RAID 10, which delivers the write speed of RAID 0 but is backed up with RAID 1 mirroring. Of course, that's 50% of available storage because of the mirror backup redundancy. Love your channel, you just get down to the nuts and bolts of the tech without the fanfare. I think, if you try RAID 10, you might experience faster writes... perhaps even hitting 1 GB/s?
this looks like it would be great for high speed video editing and fast data access stuff as long as the network is fully 10 gigabit or at lest 2.5 not so much for long term storage.
Nice! 1. Is there any real advantage in upgrading the RAM if you stay with Asus OS? 2. Should I replace the M.2 fan with something quieter and/or more powerful? 3. Or are maybe good coolers for the sticks a better idea?
looks nice, however that is something I rather have standing up, and with the weird shape of the box, just sucks. So it looks more as a part for a DIY project, take the electronics out, 3d print a different case, put some serious heatsinks and fans.
ServeTheHome did a review and found that "on average, each drive here has roughly the bandwidth equivalent of a PCIe Gen2 x1 lane" due to the pcie mux switches employed in this configuration or roughly 500MB/s which is TERRIBLE in terms of performance. pcie4x4 hard drives should be in the 7gb/s range.
If this came with a Thunderbolt 3/4 interface, then I would be impressed. There's no way I'm going to be able to push multi-4k or 6k digital cinema streams through that for editing. For my needs, I'm still stuck with spinning disks.
If it was a DAS via TB4 then it would be ok but still way slower than the internal storage in a Mac. Since its only connectivity is 10gb, you don't get to take advantage of NVME speed.
could it be possible that either on the motherboard or the network switch / router, you were plugged into not a 10G but a 5G port? because 5Gbit would come out pretty much exactly to that 625MB/s Or perhaps the network controller splits the 10G bandwidth on the NAS side so it can support two connections simultaneously at 5G?
13:40 changing the port numbers does NOT improve security. Any hacker who is determined can run a quick nmap scan and find the changed ports. Not only that but it also inconveniences the user
What file system is this using? ZFS? BTRFS? EXT4? If it’s proprietary is useless for any commercial operation, and unwise for individuals because if your NAS goes down you have to go to the manufacturer to retrieve your data (often accompanied by high retrieval fees). Why this information is important is that different file systems have different degrees of data rot. So knowing how the system works helps guide the user on proper maintenance procedures to minimize loss.
its still out the range for most people and price to cost ratio isnt quite there yet..platter drives are still king for home use nas unfortuanately. dont get me wrong id love to have a form factor like that with 96 tb
Does 10GB Ethernet actually do you much good, when read speeds are 1 GB? The 6-slot version might be the more sensible option for us noobs that only need 48 TB.
this only seems like a small niche of uses. Unless someone has a ton of money to blow on at least 6 - 8 TB drives, it still feels like sure video editing off that or using it as a temp solution of work flow until it is archived off to a bigger nas.
I am planning to buy this and thanks a lot for this video. I had already selected some random M.2 SSDs but fortunately for me I found out from the NAS site that they are incompatible so I had to replace with the compatible one. I have one question: Is it possible to use this NAS with only one SSD to start with? Ideally one 2GB SSD?
you could do this .. OR you could get google fiber 8GB/s service, buy a much cheaper and more expandable surplus enterprise server with sata drives and ram cache running truenas. Then you can have NAS from anywhere for multiple people. Mine has no problem saturating 10gig. This would be much more impressive if it had a local thunderbolt/usb4 direct connection in addition to smb/10gig
Nice analysis; the read speeds, I dare say, are at the limit of the 10GBe network. I wonder if there is a way to connect via a faster medium such as Thunderbolt or USB. Apologies in advance if this is a dumb question; I am not a pro at this :)
would've been great if ssds were already price on par with hdds, but it is not so for now. for now i'd rather use my old synology, and just dedicate one of the 10 slots for an ssd if I need to.
Looks like a good product. Thanks for the video. Can we configure it so that we can access this private cloud from the web? Like how we are using Dropbox?
heatsinks added? when the platform cripples the potential performance to about 1000 mbits only? faster than sata but slower than cheapest nvme.... hopefully high capacity 16 TB m.2 will be affordable and out soon, the next gen of this device might be interesting if they solve the bottleneck
I am confused, maybe I didn't understand correctly. You mentioned you can have a maximum of 12 slots. I didn't hear it is possible to use 8TB SSDs. Isn't 12 x4= 48? Why did you say 96TB?
Thank you for this. Few questions. If we are using all 12 slots, we should do RAID 6 correct? Also can you use of the drives/slots to be the time machine backup location for my Mac Studio?
- Windows Copy is slow, use maybe TeraCopy - That 10Gb LAN port is good, but this needs USB 40mbps or TB or PCI slot for them to use as attached storage to actually use better the speed potential off those SSDs. As someone said, being a very niche product, the price is way too much for what it is (motherboard with cheap Intel cpu and 6 or 12 m2 slots and some ports) Let's hope someone else comes up with more refined and cheaper version.
We're not sponsoring videos as the UA-camr has full editorial independence. We have numerous partners that we work with to send SSDs or HDDs with our NAS. It depends on whether or not a company feels it's a good choice.
Everything was great till my nas disappear from the Asustor Control Center after to finish the configuration. What should I do now to see it again and having a chance to map a folder on the disk root?
I have 3 85” tvs and none are LG. I know it’s a decent brand but after this ad showed me more about LG than I ever know. I will certainly look at LG for my next update. This is a good product video.
The 10G NIC means it is not much faster than a single SSD. If you just want "one very high capacity SSD" which you can share on the network, then this is fine. Assuming the Mac is running each SSD at full speed, it will be twice as fast, at least and I presume Mac's can still share their disks. You could plug in multiple SSD's as USB devices and share them. Just as fast for the network, much faster for the local device.
FYI forgot to mention that the MP44 SSD has VERY high TBW Spec As well!
TBW comparable to the more expensive Kingston KC3000 which you said was very good for video editing?
24TB= more than 6× 7.5TB? 😅
Maybe a little overlay edit in the intro of the vid... 😅

We're not sponsoring videos as the UA-camr has full editorial independence. We have numerous partners that we work with to send SSDs or HDDs with our NAS. It depends on whether or not a company feels it's a good choice.
My dream is to be able to play on my different gaming computers directly from a NAS
Hey, could someone explain how to set this up to access it remotely ?
can that be used like a nass for plex
how about your keyboard? Where do I find it?
Everything was great till
my nas disappear from the Asustor Control Center after to finish the configuration. What should I do now to see it again and having a chance to map a folder on the disk root?
What keyboard are you using??
Bro what is this keyboard called you using here
I have 3 85” tvs and none are LG. I know it’s a decent brand but after this ad showed me more about LG than I ever know. I will certainly look at LG for my next update. This is a good product video.
External NVME SSDs over thunderbolt are much cheaper and have much higher performance (as you confirmed as well).
Does it support dedicated hot spares?
Can this be used as a Plex media server?
The 10G NIC means it is not much faster than a single SSD. If you just want "one very high capacity SSD" which you can share on the network, then this is fine. Assuming the Mac is running each SSD at full speed, it will be twice as fast, at least and I presume Mac's can still share their disks. You could plug in multiple SSD's as USB devices and share them. Just as fast for the network, much faster for the local device.
