AS6704T v2: specifications and dated store comparison →Diskless 4-bay dual-5GbE N5105 NAS with LCD and four M.2 on PCIe 3.0 x1
AS6704T v2; 4GB (1 x 4GB); diskless; 4 SATA bays
The diskless AS6704T v2 combines four SATA bays, dual 5GbE and four NVMe slots. UNIKO measured 100–120 MB/s in both directions with four 12TB HDDs in RAID 5; Profesional Review showed 296.49/291.14 MB/s sequential read/write on an SSD volume. Neither test establishes the full 5GbE ceiling. The saved 2026-09-11 Newegg listing showed PlatinumMicro selling the new diskless v2 for $681.99, in stock. See the review evidence ↓
4 SATA bays set the main capacity and redundancy choices. RAID 5/6 can trade usable capacity for one/two-drive failure tolerance when enough drives are installed. Use the model compatibility list before buying drives.[1]
Fast network ports and SSD slots add value only when the client, switch and workload can use them.[1]
2 x 5 Gigabit Ethernet (5G/2.5G/1G/100M); confirm the rest of the network and drive layout.[1]
Follow any specification for its full conditions and sources.

4 SATA bays set the main capacity and redundancy choices. RAID 5/6 can trade usable capacity for one/two-drive failure tolerance when enough drives are installed. Use the model compatibility list before buying drives.[1]
2 x 5 Gigabit Ethernet (5G/2.5G/1G/100M). A port rate is a link rating; protocol overhead, client storage and the array reduce file-transfer rates. Combining ports requires suitable network/client configuration.[1]
The original setup walkthrough demonstrates RAID 5 initialization and ordinary SMB sharing.[5]

SSD-volume CDM sequential read/write reached 296.49/291.14 MB/s; copy screenshots show 283/282 MB/s at individual moments. Hibernation was reported at 17.2 W with disk population unspecified. This vendor sample does not establish 5GbE or HDD RAID limits.
Read the original reviewProfesional Review: AS6704T v2 sample, ADM 5.1.2, SSD link test
Tested: Vendor-supplied AS6704T v2, stock 4GB RAM, ADM 5.1.2.REO1. Performance tests used a single SSD volume; SSD model, client and negotiated link rate are not disclosed. CrystalDiskMark 9.0.1 x64 Admin, 3 runs, 1GiB. Hibernation disk population is not disclosed.
Applies to: Exact v2 SKU. Do not read 280–290 MB/s as 5GbE aggregation. Author incorrectly lists RAID 50/60; official 4-bay table is Single/JBOD/0/1/5/6/10.

UNIKO reported 100–120 MB/s both ways with four 12TB HDDs in RAID 5. Profesional Review showed 296.49/291.14 MB/s in a sequential SSD-volume test. Different storage and network conditions prevent a direct comparison; neither establishes the 5GbE maximum.[5][6]
No. Btrfs snapshots help recover earlier file states on the NAS; keep another copy on separate storage and test restoration.[1]
