ASUSTOR AS6404T 4-bay NAS Review

Storage/NAS by stefan @ 2017-08-03

With the AS6404T 4-bay NAS from ASUSTOR we are seeing an update to the Intel Celeron Apollo Lake J3455 Quad-Core 1.5GHz processor, which is paired with no less than 8GB of DDR3L RAM in order to handle plenty of multimedia content types, but for also being able to use even more application modules at the same time. We do also see an USB 3.0 Type C port in the back for connecting modern storage devices, support up to 10TB drives (for a total of 40TB in a single NAS) and dual LAN that can be used for both Link Aggregation and Failover. The LCD panel is easy to operate via the hardware buttons, we get an IR receiver so the NAS can be operated via a Media Center remote, but also audio output via S/PDIF or HDMI 2.0 output for enjoying 4K @ 60Hz.

Packaging, A Closer Look Part I

We have finally got one of the latest ASUSTOR NASes in our test lab, which does feature an updated hardware configuration; we are talking about the Intel Celeron J3455 Quad-Core 1.5GHz (burst up to 2.3GHz) processor, 8GB of DDR3L RAM and supports up to 40TB capacity when 10TB drives are installed in each of the four available bays! The NAS does also come with quite a bit of interfaces for connecting additional devices, but we will get into that later.

The NAS is shipped inside a medium-sized cardboard box, which does sport a familiar design; on one of the box sides, we will get to see how the server does look like from two different angles, but also take a look at platform support along with small icons that represent some of the product functions:

Moving on, we can spot a table featuring the product hardware specifications, box contents, but also a list with the available mobile application for controlling the NAS or accessing its resources:

The multiple tasks AS6404T NAS can perform are translated in many languages:

ASUSTOR does afterwards present its Data Master GUI, along with the Surveillance Center application:

The box is also provided with a black plastic handle, for easy manipulation:

After lifting the top cover, we will be welcomed by a “Thank You!” message, along with some extra web resources:

The NAS along with its bundle are well protected inside by quite a lot of foam material:

The product bundle is offered in a separate, plain cardboard enclosure:

Here we will find, the power adapter, the power lead, two LAN cables, screws for securing both 2.5’’ and 3.5’’ drives, a power lead bracket, the installation disk but also a multi-language leaflet:
