ASUSTOR AS6704T v2 NAS 4-Bay Intel Celeron N5105 4GB DDR4

ASUSTOR Lockerstor 4 Gen2+ NAS

The ASUSTOR AS6704T v2 is a four-bay desktop NAS built around a quad-core Intel Celeron N5105 processor running at 2.0 GHz with a 2.9 GHz burst frequency. It ships with 4 GB of DDR4-2933 memory in a single SO-DIMM, expandable to 8 GB across two slots. Dual 5-Gigabit Ethernet ports and two USB 10 Gbps ports provide high-speed connectivity for file sharing and external storage. Four M.2 2280 slots accept NVMe SSDs for caching or capacity. The diskless chassis supports 3.5-inch and 2.5-inch SATA drives.

Best for media and small teams

Creative professionals and small workgroups who need local 4K media transcoding, fast backup targets or collaborative file access will benefit from the dual 5 GbE links and NVMe caching. The compact 185.5 x 170 x 230 mm form factor fits on a desk or shelf. Buyers who require 10 GbE ports out of the box, more than four drive bays or ECC memory should look elsewhere. The platform also lacks integrated graphics acceleration for heavy GPU workloads.

Four M.2 2280 NVMe slots decide fit

The presence of four M.2 2280 slots is the single specification that determines whether this NAS matches a build plan. Each slot can host an NVMe SSD for read-write caching, tiered storage or a dedicated volume, removing the need to sacrifice 3.5-inch bays for flash performance. If a project does not use M.2 NVMe drives, the extra slots add cost without benefit; if it relies on M.2 SATA or PCIe 4.0 speeds, the Gen3 interface here will not match expectations.
