Los Angeles Backup Consultant – Asustor AS5304T NAS unboxing

In this video we will talk about the Asustor AS5304T is a relatively inexpensive handle that has several pretty impressive features and is very capable and powerful enough to play 4K video at 60 frames per second, consumes little electricity and comes with 2 2.5 GB ports that can be added to your network to get 3GB per second.

Up to four hard drives can be installed in this unit which up to now accept 16TB in any RAID configuration, be it RAID 5 or RAID 10.

“RAID stands for Redundant Array of Independent Disks. It is a storage virtualization technology that combines multiple physical disks into one or more logical drives in order to improve redundancy and / or performance. ”

This networked storage unit takes some aspects of the video game industry design as it comes with a different design on the front and the front cover which is attached to the unit with magnets, these NAS units have 3 USB ports, it comes with two on the back and one on the front where you can connect either a mouse, a keyboard or an external hard drive.

It has a fast enough processor, a celeron J4105 with a GPU that supports up to 4K, 60 images per second and it has 4GB of RAM that can be expanded to 8GB since it has 2 slots. It is capable of 4K video recording and it came with two network ports that you can add to your network to get up to 3GB per second, if you have a network that allows you to do that on a switch or if you have a computer with a the most recent ones that allow you to connect 2.5GB or 5GB devices per second depending on the model.

In my case I have a 10GB per second switch and we are going to be testing what is the maximum capacity that this unit can obtain in my network with the connection that I have.
