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.

  1. But does it support ZFS? Looks like it uses Btrfs instead…

    I’m tempted to downsize, but I’m not giving up ZFS.

  2. 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?

  3. I haven’t seen anything about power consumption which is, in my opinion, a key parameter for consumers.
    Could you elaborate this point please ?

  4. ” 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.
