What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly praise the Asustor AS5404T for its exceptional hardware value and performance. The inclusion of four 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet ports and four M.2 NVMe slots future-proofs the device, enabling high-speed link aggregation and ultra-fast caching. The Intel Celeron processor handles intensive tasks, including real-time Plex transcoding, with ease. This unit is highly regarded by prosumers and small businesses prioritizing raw power and connectivity. The main constructive feedback concerns the ADM operating system, which some users find less intuitive than competitors. However, this minor software friction is considered a worthwhile trade-off for the superior hardware capabilities offered at this price point, making it an excellent value powerhouse.
