Asustor Drivestor 2 Lite AS1102TL, 2 Bay NAS Enclosure Network Storage, 1.7GHz Quad Core, 1GbE Port, 1GB RAM DDR4, Network Attached Storage for Cloud Storage (Diskless)

As some other reviewers said. I had to wait 24 hours for it to connect with my devices. I also had to turn off my VPN until connection was establishedIt does make noise!I feel 5 stars is deserved since I got a refurbished device at about half price

The little NAS that could! It's pretty darn good for the price. I loaded two 10TB drives into it and now have all my media as well as my computer backups stored on it. I love the fact that there are plenty of app's on its AppCentral that allow me to also use it as a VPN host so I can access my data even when I'm on the go! The processing power is a little lacking if I'm trying to watch a movie while the computer is backing up but I can schedule my backups for a time when I'm not watching any videos. Overall a great little NAS for the price.

Working reliably for a while now. Only real criticism would be a complete lack of documentation for the more advanced features and software that is already installed.

Easy to set up and use. Set up and mapping to was a piece of cake. I'm only getting 10 Mb/S for some reason. Will have to investigate.

This NAS was easy to set up. I installed two Seagate 20TB drives. It recognized the drives with no problem, and announced itself on my LAN by plugging it in.It comes with a bunch of apps. If you have your own backup software, you can use it, but if you don't it comes with simple software you can install on a PC. It also comes with all kind of apps that reside on the drive and are accessible via brosser, such as cloud sync that lets me back up this NAS to the cloud, like Amazon S3, Azure, Google, etc. You can sync it with dropbox, there is a photo gallery app, music sharing app (across the network, utilities, etc. You can configure different RAID setups, from RAID 0-5.There are a bunch of other apps too, but I haven't explored them.Writing this review, I realized that once I had the device set up and working the way I want, I haven't had to give it any attention in the past few months, so really happy with the purchase. It does exactly what I want. I back up all my home PCs to the device, also use the device as a mapped network storage resource, and I back up my backup to the cloud.

NAS works fine. AiFoto3 app is buggy, fails when uploading large number of photos. iOS.I purchased PhotoSync for $6. That worked.

It is doing everything it should, the set up was not hard. I am using it as a raid back up for pretty much everything.

If all you're looking for is a cheap NAS to get you up and running you'll be pleased with this unit. I had a couple 6TB drives laying around and I wanted to utilize them without spending too much money. I didn't care about watching movies, Apps, etc. All I needed was another place to stash my files.That said, I still put the Drivestor 2 Lite through the gauntlet just so I could see what it's capable of. It fits the bill for basic network attached storage. As for anything beyond that, you'll find that this unit bogs down to a crawl with anything else that you throw at it. You will hear hard drive thrashing galore as it struggles to run Plex and generate thumbnails in your photo album. If you ask it to do more than one thing at a time you better grab a Snickers because you're gonna be waiting.If you need a NAS that can provide more than just the simple function of network attached storage I recommend that you take a look at one of the beefier models. I have a NIMBUSTOR Gen 1 and that thing rides like a Cadillac compared to the Drivestor 2 Lite.
