ASUSTOR, in an effort to bring you a more affordable yet powerful and fast NAS, just released their Asustor Drivestor 4 Pro (AS3304T) NAS which we review today. The unit is powered by a new Realtek RTD1296 Quad-Core 1.4 GHz CPU and includes Multi GigE Ethernet in the form of a 2.5GigE connector. This SOHO NAS is aimed at distinct audiences, including consumers that stream. Realistically though, it might be one of the most interesting NAS units we have tested to date as it is only 329 USD for a 4-bay unit.

We spotted two new trends for NAS units, Multi GigE Ethernet and of course a move towards NAND-based flash storage. In that mindset, Asustor released their very powerful Lockerstor 4 (AS6604T) NAS server. This SOHO NAS is aimed at new audiences, including pro-consumers that stream. Realistically though, it might be one of the most interesting NAS units we have tested to date as it is fast, very feature-rich, and offers two 2.5 Gbps Ethernet jacks as well as two NVMe M.2 slots..
