ASUSTOR AS-304T 4-Bay NAS Review (Page 1)

Our second product review from ASUSTOR is the AS-304T, a consumer NAS for the family or power user use, with an affordable price point.
Introduction

ASUSTOR lists four different NAS products with four drive bays. We've already tested the ASUSTOR AS-604T, the company's most powerful 4-bay NAS, and today we're testing the next 4-bay model down, the AS-304T.
The difference between these two models comes down to just a few details. The first is processor speed, the AS-604T has an Intel Atom dual-core processor that runs at 2.13GHz. The AS-304T dual-core Atom runs at 1.6GHz. The second detail is the LCD display, present on the AS-604T and omitted on the AS-304T. The connectivity options are nearly identical, the upper scale model has two gigabit Ethernet ports and the AS-304T only has one.
As you can imagine there is a price difference as well. The AS-604T costs roughly $100 more than the AS-304T. Let's take a look at the full specifications, and then dive into the fine details.
