I already own one of these units.
I use it to backup my media collection from my internal raid.
I setup 4 8TB HDD in both locations as Raid0 and backed up my collection.
I was getting about 350MB/s write to the NAS and over 700MB/s read from the NAS (direct connect 10GB lan cable, no switch).
Not quite as fast as a thunderbolt enclosure but much easier to share. I can use it direct to the two machines with 10GBE ports or to any of my machines with 1GBE.
Quite a lot cheaper than any other 10GBE NAS that i could find.
I highly recommend.
I would think a RAID 0 with 4 SSDs would also make for a great working storage device. I believe in backups more so than RAID 5.

Hi, thank you for the review, I found it very interesting and useful!
In the review you say that the nas supports system sleep, but does it work like a "Suspend to RAM" mode or is it just a slow hibernation to disk? Does it take so long to wake up?
Also, there is no info about the performance with encrypted folders.
I hope that the built-in cryptographic engine will be used by the system...
It's a pretty much a suspend to ram with HDDs in sleep - it, however, is pretty fast to wake up, seconds only and certainly not the windows hibernation experience. However, that is dependant on the storage you use. A HDD based RAID array is slower to wake up opposed to using SSDs in there, overall it's plenty fast in my experience. In my office I use an ASUSTOR with HDDs, that's roughly ~5 seconds to wake up. Not bad at all.
If you want to encrypt your storage, I dunno. I have not tested it, but expect a perf hit on this specific processor.
And overall, ASUSTORs I consider top of the range NAS units at an affordable price level.

That's exactly what I was hoping to hear! I totally agree, a very nice NAS at an affordable price (and with a good aesthetic finally).
