Asustor Lockerstor 4RD 4-Bay 1U Rackmount NAS Enclosure with Redundant Power

The Asustor AS6504RD is a 4-bay 1U rackmount NAS enclosure designed to provide reliable, high-performance shared storage in a compact form factor. It fits neatly into a single rack unit and offers four hot-swappable SATA bays that support both 3.5-inch and 2.5-inch drives, allowing you to scale storage up to 72 TB raw capacity or expand further with additional units. This makes it ideal for small to medium-sized businesses or IT environments that need dependable storage with room to grow.

Powered by a 2.1 GHz quad-core Intel Atom processor and equipped with 8 GB of DDR4 memory, which can be upgraded to 128 GB, the AS6504RD handles demanding tasks such as running virtual machines and Docker containers smoothly. It features two 2.5 GbE network ports alongside two 1 GbE ports, enabling link aggregation to reach data transfer speeds up to 5 Gb/s. This setup ensures fast, efficient access for multiple users or workstations without bottlenecks.

Reliability is a key focus with this NAS. It includes redundant 250 W power supplies to keep the system running even if one power source fails. Hardware AES-256 encryption protects your data, while RAID configurations (0, 1, 5, 6, 10) and up to 256 snapshots per volume safeguard against drive failure, accidental changes, or data loss. A PCIe slot is available for adding a 10 GbE network card if higher network speeds are needed in the future.

Managing the AS6504RD is straightforward thanks to the ADM operating system, which supports features like Time Machine backups, iSCSI targets, cloud synchronization, and Let’s Encrypt certificates. The front panel includes a “Find Me” button that activates a rear light and buzzer, making it easy to locate the device in a crowded rack. This NAS works seamlessly with Windows, macOS, Linux, and mobile devices through EZ-Connect, making it versatile for mixed environments.

Overall, the Asustor AS6504RD is a solid choice for anyone looking for a compact, expandable, and resilient NAS solution that can handle a variety of workloads and network setups while providing peace of mind through robust data protection features.
