- Is the FS6706T worth it over a hard-drive NAS?
- If you want silence and low latency for editing or VMs, yes. If you mainly need bulk backup capacity, a hard-drive NAS gives more storage for the same outlay.
- What drives does it take?
- It uses six M.2 NVMe slots rather than 3.5-inch bays. Check Asustor's compatibility list before buying drives, since not every M.2 stick is validated.
- Can I upgrade the RAM?
- Yes, the SO-DIMM is accessible and units ship with 4, 8 or 16 GB. More RAM helps if you run containers, virtual machines or Plex transcoding.
- Does it support Plex and Docker?
- Yes. The Intel N5105 and ADM software run Docker containers and Plex, and the HDMI port allows direct display output.
- How fast is the networking?
- It has two 2.5GbE ports. You can bond them for more throughput or use one as failover, but you need a matching 2.5GbE switch to see the gain.
- Is it rack mountable?
- No, it is a desktop unit. Asustor sells rack models separately if you need one.
