ASUSTOR Lockerstor 8 AS6508T Performance
ATTO Disk Benchmark is a well-known benchmark that focuses on sequential performance.
ATTO v3.05 Disk Benchmark
Here we see excellent results and top out stressing a 10GbE connection.
Intel NAS Performance Toolkit
The Intel NAS Performance Toolkit (Intel NASPT) is a file system exerciser and analysis tool designed to enable performance comparisons between network-attached storage (NAS) devices.
In these tests, we see the ASUSTOR Lockerstor 8 AS6508T 8-Bay 10GbE NAS compared to the array of larger capacity 10GbE NAS units we have tested to date. The AS6508T is a top performer showing good performance across all the tests.
Let us move on to our new Enterprise NAS Performance test and finish with our final thoughts.
But does it support ZFS? Looks like it uses Btrfs instead…
I’m tempted to downsize, but I’m not giving up ZFS.
the test drives were the 8x 4TB Iron wolves?
what RAID config were they in?
@Mark: on page 2 there is a photo in which it say raid6.
You say “We did not get to test the unit with NVMe caching which may have helped the unit’s perf”…
Why ???
First you say this is a must have feature. Later you list the NVMe drive in the test configuration.
Then you don’t use it?
What’s the point of these tests then?
I haven’t seen anything about power consumption which is, in my opinion, a key parameter for consumers.
Could you elaborate this point please ?
I support an update to this review with NVMe caching.
I support an update to this review with power consumption.
I think this article was perhaps sponsored by Asustor..
horizonbrave – it was not. Everything on STH is editorially independent and we only accept advertising through 3rd party agencies (Google, Amazon, and some smaller ones)
” NVMe caching is a must have feature”
…
“We did not get to test the unit with NVMe caching”
Kinda pointless to review this then isn’t it? Why not wait until you CAN test it. I’m sure STH makes enough ad revenue to buy two NVMe drives. Might want to buy some Kill-A-Watt’s while your at it too.
