Login
The login screen is simple and there isn’t much to be loaded, hence it’s fast. The stay signed in button can be a bit confusing whether it’s on or not. It is set to stay signed-in in the screenshot below; the login screen can also be customized once you have logged in.
Dashboard
ASUTOR’s ADM operating system has a more app-like feel and those who usually use mobile devices will quickly find their way around it. It is different from most other NAS OSes in the location of things, so which you prefer is really down to personal preference. Plenty of features and settings as well as extra apps are available for ADM.
Power Consumption
The chart contains the actual power consumption measured at the PSU connection and while loaded with a maximum amount of drives. Peak, or maximum, power draw will occur during boot times.
I have a Asustor NAS 1002 . Recently I have had two WD purples fail on this device within 3 months. (both less than 18 months old). I have been carrying out a lot of disk intensive operations (that’s what purples are designed for) and I can’t help thinking that this system just cannot cope with it. Anyone else have any Disk problems with the Asustor 1002T??
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.
Hi! I am looking into to buy this or its upgraded sister 1004 v2 – my primary goal is to use it as my music library – so reading this there should be no problem stream hi res audio files (stereo or multi channel) to an Nvidia Shield and over to AVR and speakers? I plan on letting the Shield do the heavy work (I have Kodi installed there) and just want the files sent to the Shield.
