Today's review is of the Asustor AS1104T 4 bay network-attached storage device(NAS). This is one of the more reasonably priced versions available from Asustor. Previously, we had the Pro model (AS3304T) available for viewing on our website. What exactly are the distinctions? The main differences were the use of 1 GB DDR4 instead of 2 GB DDR4 (both of which were not extendable), the use of two USB 3.2 Gen1 connections instead of three, and the (slightly) thinner chassis. So, what are the things that they have in common? In addition to the four HDD/SSD trays, the Realtek RTD1296 processor, a quad-core with rates in the 1.0 GHz range and the ability to turbo up to 1.4 GHz, is also included in the package.

Today, we'll take a look at the Terra Master F5-422 5-bay NAS. TerraMaster is a network storage solutions provider.  On the inside, you'll discover an Intel Celeron J3455 Quad-Core 1.5~2.2 GHz CPU, 4GB RAM, two 1 Gigabit Ethernet ports, and a 10 Gigabit Ethernet connector. The MSRP of the item under evaluation is 549 USD.

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.

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 review the TEG-S350 switch from TRENDnet. We've been evangelizing for years now to achieve faster Ethernet. That trend has started towards PC motherboards, NAS units, and routers; but lagging behind are affordable multi GigE switches. 

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..
