Review: Asustor AS-602T

Final Thoughts and Rating

Asustor's biggest challenge may be in convincing end users to look past the established names and adopt a relatively unknown entity. That's often easier said than done, and in aiming initially at the high-end market, Asustor hasn't made the decision any easier - its first-run products start at £400.

One of the company's first efforts, the AS-602T, is a powerful two-bay solution that delivers on most fronts. We're particularly impressed by the company's ADM operating system, which despite being in its infancy, provides stability, a wealth of features and ample scope for expansion through a built-in app repository.

We're looking forward to seeing what the company can deliver at lower price points, but as it stands, Asustor has proven that it has the wherewithal to create a well-rounded NAS that combines the right hardware and software in order to deliver a fast, reliable and feature-packed solution.

The Good

Excellent read performance
SATA 6Gbps and USB 3.0
Support for S3 sleep
Easy to configure
Intuitive ADM operating system
Apps bring extra functionality

The Bad

Write performance could be better
Pricey at £399
