ASUSTOR AS1002T 2-Bay Entry-Level NAS Review

Hey Fred
In theory, a NAS shouldn’t be able to kill the drives like that – at least not in comparison to other NAS devices or PCs that would put the same strain on the drives as you had on your AS1002T.
I’ve recently had several WD RED 6TB drives fail on me, but they’re also from the first production of the 6TB series. No idea if there is a correlation there or if it’s just normal wear and tear combined with general luck.

I’ve not heard of other people having trouble with the unit, except a few comments that it’s underpowered for the needs people have of their NAS’. But yea, it’s a budget device with a relatively slow CPU, so that’s a given for enthusiasts and other heavy users.
