Asustor Nimbustor 4 Gen 2 (AS5404T)

Performance with Multiple Clients

To test the performance of the NAS with multiple clients, we concurrently set up four devices, all of which stream movies. The first device was set up with PLEX, playing a 1080p movie. The second device was a mobile phone, streaming a 4k movie using the AiVideos application. The other two devices were desktop computers connected via ethernet, one playing a 4k movie through the browser environment and the other playing a 1080p movie on Windows through the network drive mapped on that computer. To further stress the system, a concurrent file type conversion via Handbrake can be found in the App Central store of the Asustor.

Despite all the mentioned simultaneous activities, video playback was smooth across all devices; however, Handbrake was quite slow, as expected. The use of system resources can be found below. The first one depicts the use of system resources when streaming, while the second one shows the system’s resources being used to their maximum when transcoding using Handbrake.

  1. You’re complaining about software??? It’s based on Linux so go complain to them about their lil OS kit that still has only 1/3 to 1/2 of a complete GUI when we’re almost 1/4 of the way through the 21rst century. I use my NAS for storage, not computing, not transcoding, just storage since that’s what it was intended to do, even says so in the dam name, Netwok Attached Storage or did you forget that lil acronym? You seem really concerned about the piece of cardboard the product came in, maybe you should do cardboard reviews only, dedicating an entire page of your review to a piece of cardboard that surrounds the product is just stupid it has nothing to do with performance which is why I came not to browse some anime gallery. Needless to say not impressed with your lil article and won’t be returning just not worth it with that type of content.

    1. Thanx for your comment. Any feedback is appreciated, but you are a bit over the edge, I think. By being ironic you don’t get anything. The reviewer added anything he believed it was worth to mention. If you dont like sth u could write it, in a formal way. It would have the same impact, believe me. Now, if u dont like the content, u are not obligated to stay or read anything in this site. There are countless other sites to visit, and might like your harsh comments as well, so feel free. I wish u the best.
