Great to see NVMe NAS becoming more common place now. But more need to be following Asustor by having more than 4-5 bays available!

[bjorksven]

I would *love* to see a passive system, perhaps in the same form factor as a normal consumer network router, with perhaps 6 M.2 drives. Could probably be over SATA, would be fast enough for most home networks anyway. I just want something small, super efficient and completely quiet.

[alekseyprokopev]

Exactly the review I wanted. Thank you for the video. Very informative.

[frednarvag]

love my Flashstor 12 pro, silent and wife friendly design . It has all the speed and space i will need for a loong time. I have had no problems with it just "plug and play"

[ASUSTOR_YT]

It's an honour to be featured twice!

[RajBhatt]

I absolutely love my Terramaster F8 SSD Plus with 48gb RAM and running Unraid.

[thomaswilliams]

I’m a simple man. I see a new Nas Compares video, I neglect my responsibilities

[goodeguy]

Why didn't you show the QNAP TS-h1290FX NAS, I thought this would blow all of these out of the water, maybe I'm wrong? QNAP's TS-h1277AFX is out now, it would be nice to see you review this new model, which looks like a SATA only SSD NAS vs. a U.2 or NVMe SSD drives like in the QNAP TS-h1290FX. Love all your reviews, thank you for doing this, it helps us all.

Thanks for sharing.
I think to make the list should have Thunderbolt 3 / 4. Less is to slow for pro use

[LuminousPlasma]

Let me know when a 4 bay m.2 NAS comes out with x4 lanes 😉

[knofi]

So, the TERRAMASTER F8 is really a great NAS, but still about 100, - Euros too expensive for the hardware, I think. What I'm really missing is a small, cheap and quiet SATA SSD 4-6 bay NAS.

[deansanderson]

Just what i needed thank you for your hard work

[knaledge]

Ok but then which NAS SSD should I buy? Prefer Gen 3 or Gen 4 with DRAM.

[radimvybiral]

Absolutely no surprise, that Synology is not mention here once :D They are busy with marketing 1gbe as best solution with Toshi.. .sorry Synology HAT drives and not testing / updating compatibility list.

[JbVest]

Is there a way to configure that add-on card for the MS-01 into a raid array? And use the other in.2 slots for the OS? I would be very curious to fund out if that would work. I just need a way to combine multiple m.2s to expand the video recording space on my frigate instance. Running on the MS-01

[marcusavanti]

Waiting on budget Quad NVME Thunderbolt 5 DAS

[hypernovawolf]

I have to ask, whats going on with the UGreen? Is worth it to keep it or sell at this point?

[KapitanMokraFaja]

Please fix me if I'm wrong, but based on the documentation online, the new Flashstor does not support the networking over USB4 (yet?). It surprised me a little.
Same goes for the Ugreen one. I was sharpening my teeth on the Flashstor2, but to be certain I can utilise my USB4 port on my Z790 Motherboard, I think I have to look the MS-01 route...

[deansanderson]

I'm stuck between the asustor gen 1, 6 bay and the lincstation N1. Leaning towards the N1 because of the larger range of 2.5 ssd's.

[MasterMindb]

why are these so expensive? I small all flash nas like the green should cost not more then 600 euro. you can get a nuc with ultra 5 for 550 euro as barebone. that has enough lanes to support 5 ssd easily.
