ASUSTOR FS6706T - 6x BAY NVMe SSD NAS

Even with almost 20 minutes, I haven't covered everything for ASUSTOR FLASHSTOR 6 FS6706T which is a 6x bay NVMe SSD NAS. But without a doubt, loads of information to take in including tutorial, setup, installation, details, specifications, thermals and much more. For the NVMe SSDs I have used 5x Apacer NAS SSD Endurance PP3348 Gen3x4 2TB and 1x Apacer NAS SSD Endurance PP3348 Gen3x4 1TB. Check it out!

Was really hoping after you mentioned the 8TB NVMe drives that we'd see how it dealt with that kind of heat... only reason I watched, but just 1TB and 2TB drives used.

Questions:
Considering you are using all six slots configured for data and Asustor recommends using one slot for the boot process. What are you using for the boot?
I am considering this for my environment. I currently have a WD NAS and data on it, including movie videos up to 1080p and wireless, it streams well. I understand the celeron processor used is not quite a higher end one. I'm in the process of converting the 4K videos to store on a NAS. Do you feel this system and its processor can handle the streaming of those files?

[@rael_gc]

It has an internal 8GB eMMC memory for the operating system.

[@muhammedsaqibazam3035]

Great, can we use it for my office 24/7 running time?

[@user-zp8lg3sd5y]

Yes

[@mani1098]

Is 6bay good enough for plex or jellyfin in terms of hardware acceleration/transcoding.

[@rael_gc]

Good for Plex, but just a friendly reminder that in order to enable hardware acceleration, you have to pay Plex for a license.

[@Rayu25Demon]

nice NAS but sadly its 450$ with Intel Celeron N5105 and 4g of ram for 6 bays model

[@PCCrazyDario]

Yeah, that might be the down side, the processor because of the lanes and the RAMs, well even the 12x bay one has the same capacity. So apparently it isn't needed as much. Regardless to that, at least you have an option to upgrade RAMs.

[@Rayu25Demon]

@PCCrazyDario its a shame to see a nas promises to host VM and it has this this and cpu. Despite this, it has no graphic accelerators

[@PCCrazyDario]

@@Rayu25Demon Yeah, that is true. But I wouldn't use it for VMs for sure. Apart from that, as you saw, it has loads of other advantages.

Hilarious. A single 8TB M.2 will cost more than the NAS itself, some at 2x the cost.

[@BrentLeVasseur]

Yup. I have an M1 Mac Mini and I got an external thunderbolt M2 NVME 8TB external drive for it since you can’t upgrade the memory or the ssd in the Mac Mini, and the cost of the Mac was around $1200 while the cost of the NVME 8TB drive was around $4k at the time I got it. So roughly 4X the cost of the computer itself. 😂
