Asustor has unveiled two new network storage devices. These two models in the Drivestore lineup are quite similar, but come with either 2 or 4 HDD bays. Asustor is likely targeting budget-conscious customers with these new products.

Storage Launch

The manufacturer Asustor is introducing two new network storage products. The models are called Drivestore AS1204T and Drivestore AS1202T and come with 4 and 2 HDD bays, respectively. Both support 3.5-inch hard drives and don’t sport an M.2 slot for SSD caching. Storage capacity can be expanded via expansion units that can accommodate up to 12 additional hard drives. Various RAID levels are supported, as usual.

No HDMI or PCIe

Both NAS are positioned in the lower price segment, which is also reflected in their feature set. For example, they lack an HDMI port and all three USB Type-A ports are limited to 5 Gbps. PCIe expansion cards are not supported either, which means that users are limited to a single Ethernet port with 2.5 Gbps of bandwidth, which can be a significant upgrade compared to the 1 Gbps port that’s usually found on entry-level NAS devices.

ARM-based NAS

A Realtek RTD1619B SoC is onboard and features four cores with a maximum clock speed of 1.7 GHz. Unfortunately, the DDR4 RAM cannot be upgraded later on. The configuration with two bays (Drivestore AS1202T) has a power consumption of 11.6 watts under load, which drops to around 6 watts in standby mode.

As a possible alternative, check out the Asustor Drivestor 4 Pro Gen2 AS3304T v2 on Amazon.

I have been active as a journalist for over 10 years, most of it in the field of technology. I worked for Tom’s Hardware and ComputerBase, among others, and have been working for Notebookcheck since 2017. My current focus is particularly on mini PCs and single-board computers such as the Raspberry Pi – so in other words, compact systems with a lot of potential. In addition, I have a soft spot for all kinds of wearables, especially smartwatches. My main profession is as a laboratory engineer, which is why neither scientific contexts nor the interpretation of complex measurements are foreign to me.

My fascination for technology goes back a long way to the Pentium II era. Modding, overclocking and treasuring computer hardware has since become an integral part of my life. As a student, I further developed a keen interest in mobile technologies that can make the stressful college life so much easier. After I fell in love with the creation of digital content while working in a marketing position, I now scour the web to bring you the most exciting topics in the world of tech. Outside the office, I’m particularly passionate about motorsports and mountain biking.
