The Asustor Flashstor 6 FS6706T is a six-bay NAS that holds M.2 NVMe SSDs instead of hard drives. It runs a quad-core Intel Celeron N5105 at 2.0 GHz with 4 GB of DDR4 RAM and dual 2.5GbE ports, so it moves large files far faster than SATA or HDD NAS boxes. It suits video editors, small offices and anyone running virtual machines or containers who wants quiet, fast shared storage. The trade-off is capacity per drive and cost: six M.2 slots hold less data than the same number of 3.5-inch bays, and NVMe SSDs are pricier per terabyte. Reviewers rate its speed and compact fanless-style design but note the modest CPU and RAM for heavy multitasking.

Owners and reviewers praise the Flashstor 6 for its speed, small footprint and quiet operation, and call it a strong value for an all-flash NAS. Criticism centers on the 4 GB RAM, the lack of 10GbE and heat under sustained load.
The ASUSTOR Flashstor 6 (FS6706T) is a 6-bay NAS that uses M.2 NVMe SSDs instead of hard drives. It is powered by a 10 nm quad-core Intel Celeron N5105 processor with speeds of up to 2.9 GHz, which is up to 31% higher performance than the previous generation. It has 4 GB of RAM and 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet.
The FS6706T supports RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5 and RAID 10. Storage can be expanded by adding NVMe drives. It is designed for 24/7 operation and suits uses such as file storage, backups, video editing, data analytics and hosting virtual machines.
A silent fan and an air duct design move heat away from the SSDs. At idle, the unit emits 18.7 decibels of sound. The Flashstor series also provides S/PDIF over TOSLINK and works with Roon Server and High-Res Player for audio playback.
