ASUSTOR AS6706T v2 6-Bay NAS 8GB DDR4

Six-bay desktop NAS

The ASUSTOR AS6706T v2 is a six-bay desktop network-attached storage unit built around a quad-core Intel Celeron N5105 processor running at 2.0 GHz with a 2.9 GHz burst frequency. It ships with 8 GB of DDR4-2933 memory and includes four M.2 slots for NVMe SSDs alongside the six drive bays. Dual 5GbE ports and two USB 10Gbps connections provide high-speed wired connectivity for demanding workflows.

Creative pros and small teams

This NAS suits creative professionals and small teams who need fast shared storage for video or audio projects and can take advantage of the dual 5GbE links and M.2 caching. Buyers who need more than six drive bays or require built-in 10GbE ports without an add-in card should look at a different model. The platform also supports Wake on LAN and Wake on WAN for remote management convenience.

Quad-core Celeron N5105 CPU

The 10 nm quad-core Celeron N5105 at 2.0 GHz with a 2.9 GHz burst determines the overall throughput for file serving, transcoding and application hosting. Its performance level defines whether the unit can handle the intended concurrent workloads. If the workload demands significantly higher multi-threaded compute, a platform with a more powerful processor would be required.
