6x M.2 NVMe SSD NAS! The Asustor Flashstor 6 (FS6706T)

This is the Asustor FS6707T 6x M.2 NVMe SSD NAS! The dual 2.5GbE ports can get over 500MB/s to one PC by selecting a single checkbox. As SSD prices drop, this might be one to look at for the #homelab

"6x M.2 & 2x2.5GB LAN" - Dead on Arrival. Let's hope next time they get it right with 2x10GBe.

[jamesjamey]

Neat idea! Black magic has something similar. These things really need 10gb+ or a usb4 port

[ClemFi]

THIS is useless. One m2 ssd alone is capable of 2000MBps, so unless they strap a dual 10gb ethernet on there, this is quite pointless

[ABUNDANCEandBEYONDATHLETE]

Wait you said 6 nvme? Why only 550MB/s and not 30GB like my 4x nvme pcie gigabyte aorus master x570 came with. Thanks!

[TheChadXperience]

Why in the world would you hamper a device with six NVMe drives with a measily 2.5 gbps interface for? You're getting no more performance than you would out of a single 5400 rpm HDD! HEY INDUSTRY!!! GIVE US FASTER NETWORK INTERFACES ALREADY!!!!

[Airbag]

How can you get so close and still miss the train... 2023 they should have at least a dual port (sfp+ or eth 10Gbe)
Givem the slump in ssd prices recently that would've been amazing

[smudgeous]

Patrick, are you guys planning on digging into various RAM configurations as part of the more in-depth testing? I'd like to maximize what this thing's capable of but your initial unsuccessful attempt at bumping it way up has me a bit gun shy

[jfetgek]

Why limit yourself to just two 2.5GB ports even in thi specific version of 6 port? do you have the possibility to have a very high bandwidth with nvme ssds and then put only two ports at 2.5gb? Why ? as other users above said already, for me it is dead on arrival

[danagoyette]

No ECC memory? If thafs rhe case, boo.

[kidsythe]

I mean, is the CPU fast enough for 6 m.2 drives. is CPU bottleneck still around?

[johnknightiii]

The name doesn't really roll off the tongue. They need to send that back to marketing

[medwards]

So is this overkill for storing my Linux ISO's? lol

[shadowarez]

If only theyd had a 10GB version woulda been perfect.

[TheSonorabob]

2.5gbe for 6 NVME drives? Sweet.... let's also just slap some golf cart tires on our Bugatti while we're at it.

[techtechuw]

Asus: Lets make a super fast 4x nvme NAS and cripple it with 2x2.5Gbps NICs!
Just stupid...

[GreenTechNow]

My diy nas (old ryzen cpu+ecc ram) with cheap mellanox 40gbe ethernet card easily hits over 1gbps read / write

[mrtechie]

And the price is how many thousands of dollars?😂

[TwstedTV]

If they slapped on (2) 10-Gbps Ethernet ports and 3 HDMI ports and outfitted all the USB's to 3.2 and (4) USB-C 40's, then maybe this would be worth it.

[xtradi]

I'd rather have sata flash with 2, 5gb networking
