ASUSTOR has only been around since 2011 but it looks like they have paid attention to what people have been asking for. ADM is extremely easy to use and makes the experience of setting up storage quick and painless. Adding users and shares takes just minutes and the IOS-like web interface makes navigation simple. Adding the ability to move applications to their own pages within the GUI or classify applications based on your preferences is a plus for folks like me.

To keep things going, Dr. ASUSTOR will give you hints as to what is going on and the ability to schedule Bad Block Scans is a great addition. Applications like the Activity Monitor are well designed and let you know how your NAS is performing.
As for performance, the AS-608T isn’t a barn burner but did performed well in some tests. The NAS was able to hold its own in our Avatar test, scoring the highest in Copy To, but seemed to fall behind in other benchmarks.
When compared to other similar SOHO/SMB NAS on the market, the AS-608T delivers high-capacity storage at a price point that is lower than their competition without sacrificing quality. The NAS is simply beautiful and well crafted. Each drive tray is well manufactured and easy to install/remove. Having 8 bays to fill, dual gigabit Ethernet connectivity, iSCSI support, and a ton of features makes this NAS a good choice.
