- Can the M.2 slots be used for storage instead of cache?
- Yes. All four M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 slots can hold SSDs as a storage volume or serve as read/write cache, and you can mix the two roles.
- How fast is it over 10GbE?
- Asustor rates it at up to 1675 MB/s read and 791 MB/s write in RAID 5 with SMB multichannel across both 10GbE ports. Real results depend on drives, RAID level and network.
- How much RAM can it take?
- It ships with 8GB of DDR5 and has SO-DIMM slots for upgrading, which helps if you run virtual machines or many Docker containers.
- Does it support Plex and Docker?
- Yes. ADM includes Docker and container support, and Plex is available as an app; the Intel i3 handles hardware transcoding.
- What drives fit in the four bays?
- Any 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch SATA HDD or SSD. The bays are hot-swappable and support RAID 0, 1, 5, 6 and 10.
- Do I need a 10GbE switch to benefit?
- Only if several devices share the NAS. A single 10GbE-capable computer can connect directly, but a multi-device setup needs a 10GbE switch.
