Asustor Flashstor 6 vs Synology ds920 - Enquiries - 05-17-2023
Hi
Recently seen your video for the Asustor Flashstor 6 and looks interesting (apart from price of SSD drives).
Was wondering what you would choose yourself as a home user for showing movies, backups, website and poss other things between the Asustor Flashstor 6 or Synology DS920 (when refurbished are released as still waiting for those)
In both instances 4 x 4TB drives
For the Asustor Flashstor 6 am assuming that the Crucial P3 Plus 4TB M.2 PCIe Gen4 NVMe Internal SSD would work ?
Also, taking into account the software that comes with the NAS which is the better for a home user (asking as not seen anything mentioned about software that comes with the Asustor Flashstor 6)
Regards
Steve

Yes, having those NVME for OS and storage use do really improve things. It can also transcode some of the 4k files in Plex, unlike HDD based boxes.
You can use any GEN SSD, it should be backwards compatible.
