ASUSTOR Nimbustor 2 Gen2 AS5402T review: This 2.5GbE NAS is a terrific Plex server


With four M.2 slots in addition to the two HDD bays, the AS5402T is a stellar option if you want to combine mechanical drives with SSDs.

(Image credit: Harish Jonnalagadda / Android Central)All three USB-A ports now use the USB 3.2 Gen 2 standard, and they get the full 10Gbps bandwidth, so if you're looking to connect external drives to the NAS, you'll get fast transfers. The ASUSTOR Data Master (ADM) web-based interface suggests ways to tighten the security of the NAS after you log in, and it picked up a visual refresh — it now has a distinct gaming aesthetic, and the bold styling looks good. (Image credit: Harish Jonnalagadda / Android Central)ASUSTOR is continuing to offer Intel hardware on its NAS enclosures, and the AS5402T is powered by the quad-core Celeron N5105, delivering sizeable gains over the N4xxx series.
