Asustor Drivestor 2 Lite AS1102TL, 2 Bay NAS Enclosure Network Storage, 1.7GHz Quad Core, 1GbE Port, 1GB RAM DDR4, Network Attached Storage for Cloud Storage (Diskless)

I didn't expect much from this NAS, but I've been very impressed with it. Do note that hardware transcoding is not actually supported in plex/jellyfin/etc, but other than that, it's been a great and highly performant machine.I'm running 3 20TB drives in a RAID 5, and the builtin software made that easy and quick to setup. It works well both as a regular storage device and a private streaming service for my family, so if you're in the market for a small NAS, I can't recommend this one enough!

This NAS was easy to set up. I installed two Seagate 20TB drives. It recognized the drives with no problem, and announced itself on my LAN by plugging it in.It comes with a bunch of apps. If you have your own backup software, you can use it, but if you don't it comes with simple software you can install on a PC. It also comes with all kind of apps that reside on the drive and are accessible via brosser, such as cloud sync that lets me back up this NAS to the cloud, like Amazon S3, Azure, Google, etc. You can sync it with dropbox, there is a photo gallery app, music sharing app (across the network, utilities, etc. You can configure different RAID setups, from RAID 0-5.There are a bunch of other apps too, but I haven't explored them.Writing this review, I realized that once I had the device set up and working the way I want, I haven't had to give it any attention in the past few months, so really happy with the purchase. It does exactly what I want. I back up all my home PCs to the device, also use the device as a mapped network storage resource, and I back up my backup to the cloud.

It was an easy setup once I turned off my VPN client. It was just me guessing at things until I hit on the solution. The only option is a mirrored drive, so my two 4 TB drives resulted in 4 TB of space. Plex installed without a problem and is running perfectly on the network. Was able to map directly to the shares, so adding files is for the Plex. My WD MyCloud had died, so I needed a fast and cheap replacement, so this was perfect.

It is doing everything it should, the set up was not hard. I am using it as a raid back up for pretty much everything.

Liked unit construction and features. It's bugged out a few times acquiring a new ip I had to reset everything for, but it's handled brownouts and blackouts with the only damage being to my wits. I set up mirrored dries for a failsafe. Nice capacity.

Replaced my 10 year old NAS. Highly worth it. I was worried plex wasn't going to work well based off some reviews. Glad I ignored them. Plex works beautifully. I recommend this NAS.Pros:NAS was simple to setupPlex is simple to install and setupmuch quieter than my old NAS (Zyxel 326)Interface is clean and easy to navigateFast speeds.Cons:Gun to my head if I have to think of any....Plex app updates arn't automatic. Updates have to be manually downloaded and applied. not hard but wish it was auto especially since app was in the app store)

This is a great idea, stop paying subscriptions and take back your privacy. I got this system for me and my family after watching a bunch of videos on all brands and models including this one. The software that they offer at first seems simple but I ran into several issues including times I had to reset the device to recover. I also assumed that resetting the device would make the data unrecoverable but after at least one reset I was still able to access the data. Now that I have it set up it backs up everything. The size and appearance is nice. It's quiet and the price was right for me.

The little NAS that could! It's pretty darn good for the price. I loaded two 10TB drives into it and now have all my media as well as my computer backups stored on it. I love the fact that there are plenty of app's on its AppCentral that allow me to also use it as a VPN host so I can access my data even when I'm on the go! The processing power is a little lacking if I'm trying to watch a movie while the computer is backing up but I can schedule my backups for a time when I'm not watching any videos. Overall a great little NAS for the price.
