    A powerful and versatile NAS, an excellent alternative

    I recently opted for the ASUSTOR Nimbustor 4 Gen 2 AS5404T NAS, and I have to say I'm extremely happy with my choice. I've added 16GB of Crucial RAM, a 512GB NVMe SSD for caching, and four 4TB Seagate hard drives each. The whole thing works perfectly, delivering smooth, reliable performance.

    ASUSTOR's operating system is really interesting, especially if you have some knowledge of Docker and Linux. It offers a multitude of possibilities for customising and optimising the use of the NAS, which is a real plus for advanced users. The available applications and integrated functions are both rich and varied, making this NAS very versatile.

    Having already had experience with Synology and QNAP NAS, I find that the ASUSTOR Nimbustor 4 is just as good. The build quality is solid, the user interface is intuitive, and the performance lives up to my expectations. What's more, support for virtualisation solutions and compatibility with various open source applications make this model particularly attractive for those who want to explore the possibilities of a NAS in greater depth.

    In conclusion, I'd highly recommend the ASUSTOR Nimbustor 4 Gen 2 AS5404T to anyone looking for a robust, high-performance network storage solution with plenty of customisation options and excellent value for money.

    Good Product

    A good NAS that meets my expectations. ADM is easy to use. The right compromise between home and SME. M2 storage for video surveillance and HDD for data storage. My only regret is the hybrid RAID. Maybe in an update... Security tips and tutorials galore! I advise you to double the ram and plan external storage for backup or another NAS.
    Overall, I'm very satisfied with my purchase.

    Getting started

    No instructions for configuring the NAS for the first time, either in terms of hardware or software. Asustor had to intervene remotely from Korea to get it up and running without losing the data already on the hard disks (effective intervention provided you speak English).
