Asustor Flashstor 12 Pro FS6712X, 12 Bay All-Flash NAS for Content Creators

Don't let the weird PS4 shape put you off, also the rather plasticky build. The device itself is super easy to use, from the installations of the NVME drives (toolless), and upgrading the memory. I upgraded mine to 16gb using some Crucial (https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08C4WV6FT?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1). The downloadable ASUSTOR Control Center app made installation of the NAS a breeze.The interface is snappy and quick on 16gb.The official heatsinks are a little overpriced (https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0CFTYRK3J?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title) and should really have been included. I would recommend some sort of heatsinks for keep things cool. Just be careful if you intend to add NVME drives with existing heatsinks as they might too tall and may obstruct the cooling fan or worse still prevent you from putting the fixture plate back on.Across a 2.5gb link, I've managed to saturate the available bandwidth reliably and consistently.The app store although not the same level as QNAP or Synology, has some of the most common apps available, so not felt as though I missed out using ASUSTOR ADM.Overall, pleased with the device and as a Flash NAS is makes a compelling reason to ditch the mechanical equivalents, although it will be far more expensive to populate.

Already running two Synology NAS setups. following several drive failures I was keen to get going on SSD NAS drives. This device is spot on, though initially, I struggled to get one through lack of stock, when it arrived it was worth the wait. A couple of things you need to consider though! In at number 1 is the SSD's, the temptation, of course, is to go a little cheaper but increase your storage capacity, but speed plays a huge part, I ended up going with some nice intel SSD's that were on offer, now I am getting huge throughput copying close to 150 Mb's over the network, so please think about what you are going to put inside of it. In at number 2, the interface. This of course is subjective but being used to DSM, I found the ASUS GUIi a touch clumsy and sometimes slow, other people I am sure will disagree but I think its a fair comparison, with that said it does everything you would expect and though not always obvious you should find no big differences. Overall its a slick looking device, perhaps a little Media player looking compared to a synology, but who cares?! It will sit somewhere happily churning out data to your network. I would 100% recommend this, it's expensive to get started but you won't regret it. My only regret is I didn't buy the 12-bay version but hindsight is a wonderful thing.

Fantastic system, be prepared to spend some money on the SSD's but you'll be aware of that if purchasing this system.Works really well, I only use basic features do haven't delved into the numerous apps available. Never expereinced any drop outs or overheating, although I did purchase the heatsinks for the SSD's which IMO should be included.

Great item silent running, easy to setup and attractive too. As they are SSDs fast and reliable. Absolutely no issues. Now just got to get a handle on Plex!

The concept of an all ssd prosumer NAS is great especially as SSD prices are coming down. I have started off with 4 lexar 4TB drives for this one. The NAS is lightning fast and limited mostly by the CPU if you are looking for speeds over 5gbps. Unfortunately, the build quality is not great and this looks and feels cheap. Why design it like a PS2? Worse, you need to remove 4 screws to get to the ssd slots and these screws are a pain. They don’t seem to be standard ones and I ended up striping them. Managed to extract them after drilling in. Decided not to use any more screws as the USB connection (for the fan!) provides a tight enough lock for something that sits in my server rack.

Perfect

software is Glitchy and no customer service in the UK

Using 6 no. Samsung 2TB EVO Pro and maxing out the network connections; JBOD though as do not wish the capacity reduction and it is not my main NAS. Works perfectly, no issues and virtually silent. Application software is fine and easy to use.

Es caro paro es justo lo que buscaba.

Appareil défectueux expédié (à mes frais !) en Hongrie il y a un semaine. Aucun nouvelle depuis ! Instructions de retour contradictoires. Le colis se trouve à présent à Budapest où, bien entendu, ils ne savent qu'en faire ! Pour un matériel de plus de 1000 euros + frais d'achat de NVME et de mémoire, c'est très, très décevant ! La solution la plus simple à ce problème serait de m'envoyer un nouvel appareil QUI FONCTIONNE !

Articolo come da descrizione, è arrivato nei tempi previsti ben imballato e il venditore è stato molto comunicativo e premuroso, non ho ancora avuto il tempo di attivare il Flashtor 6 ma ho già inserito un paio di memorie, mi riservo di aggiornare fra qualche mese.

Funciono como debeLe puse 2 diferentes marcas diferentes de nvmeKingstonAcerAl principio le puse 6 nvme de la marca kingston en raid 5 le transferi mi información de otro almacenamiento que tengoa los pocos días compré 5 nvme acer y ya tenía un nvme acer así que le agregué los otros 6 más y en el administrador del raid lo actualicé y ahora tengo 40 tb de almacenamiento disponiblePrecaucióncuando hagas el raid espérate hasta que esté creadoya que lo tengas creado ahora si instalas las aplicaciones que vas a usarCrea los usuariosCrea tus carpetaTransfiere tus datosSi estoy considerando comprar más ram y los disipadores para los nvme4 gb de ram no es suficienteAmazon deberia de darte el combo de memoria y disipadores pero bueno es algo para el futuro

FS6712XとFS6707Tの両方を10GBのLAN環境でメモリ16GB、2TBのSSD6本と12本のRAID5で利用しています。FS6707T　LAGRound‐Robinで利用なのでSEQ読出しは600MB/sで書込みは300MB/sでます。こっちに10GBのLAN搭載されていればベストバランスかも知れません。FS6712XSEQ読み書きは1200MB/sでます。M.2はGen3でもGen4でも低発熱チップのSSDの選択を強く推奨します。筐体が樹脂なので放熱性能は低いです。（下部にファンが付いるので上段のSSDは冷やせません）※読み書き中は60℃を超えるSSDが12本も入っているので、これは仕方ないです。ADMという基本OSの更新ありますがアプリは1～2年以上更新が無いものがほとんどです。同期系のアプリ、DataSyncとEzSyncなど便利そうなアプリはありますがファイルが大量にあるとエラー吐きまくるので改善して欲しいです。他社製品のようにアプリでいろいろやりたい場合は残念な結果になるのでお勧めできません。特に自動同期して利用するBackUp用途には不向きです。もう少し更新頻度上げて、アプリの同期処理など頑張って改善して欲しいところです。HDDの騒音が無く、薄くて軽くて、LAN環境に合わせた速度が出るのが最大の利点です。USB3.2Gen2のポートが両機種とも2つあり2本ずつUSB3.2接続して外部機器として利用います。こちらもシーケンシャル1200Mb/sで利用でき、ネットワークドライブ登録も可能です。同期でエラーや不具合が多く利便性は低い製品なのでお勧めはできません。2.5GBまでのLAN環境ならHDDで良いと思います。Asusの子会社なのでもう少し頑張って欲しいです。※加筆2024/9/26にADM更新と一緒にDataSync他、多くのアプリ更新きました同期がどうなるかは様子見中です　→　1週間エラーでずっと同期中でしたが止まりました対応が早かったので星一つ追加です2024/10/11　SMBバックアップの次回のスケジュールが延々と過去日です。いまのところ、本来の目的であるバックアップ用途には不向きな製品です。星一つマイナスです。
