AS6706T v2: specifications and dated store comparison →Six SATA bays and dual 5GbE, if the rest of the network can use them

ChooseCompute synthesizes manufacturer specifications, original third-party testing and merchant listings. We have not tested the AS6706T v2 ourselves. See the review evidence ↓
6 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.
Living with it
AS6706T v2 is the six-bay Lockerstor Gen2+ with Intel Celeron N5105, 8GB DDR4 (two slots, 16GB max), dual 5GbE and four M.2 slots. HDMI 2.0b and ASUSTOR Portal remain on this N5105 generation. It is not the older AS6706T with 2.5GbE, and it is not Lockerstor Gen3.[1]
El Chapuzas installed two HDDs and two SSDs, then tested HDD RAID 1 with one SSD as cache. Prose ~285 MB/s sequential; the Windows screenshot is 284 MB/s copying TK from D: to Home. Neither names the drives nor the client port. Dual-5GbE simultaneous-client talk is not a measured aggregation test. 18.1 dBA and watt figures in the article are spec recitations.[6]
ADM lists Btrfs snapshots (256), RAID 0/1/5/6/10, Docker and VirtualBox on this CPU class. Those are configuration ceilings. No model-specific VM, container or camera-count proof is adopted. Four surveillance licenses are included; extra channels need licenses.[1]

Asustor-loaned unit. Two HDD + two SSD installed; RAID 1 + one SSD cache. Screenshot 284 MB/s D:→Home. No drive MPNs or client speed. Do not use the review’s 3.9 GHz / USB / ‘needs 5GbE’ lines against the official table.

Tested: Asustor-loaned AS6706T v2. Author installed two HDDs + two SSDs; performance prose uses HDD RAID 1 plus one SSD as cache. Screenshot: Windows copy of file TK from Datos (D:) to Home at 284 MB/s (80% complete, 325 MB remaining). HDD/SSD models, RAID of the second SSD, client NIC and negotiated port speed are not in prose or the screenshot.
Applies to: Exact enclosure. ~285 MB/s (prose) / 284 MB/s (screenshot) is a Windows copy to the Home share. Do not treat reviewer spec table (N5105 2.3–3.9 GHz, USB mix-ups, 2.3 W rest, ‘needs 5GbE’) as manufacturer facts.

No. v2 is the Gen2+ refresh with dual 5GbE. Listings for AS6706T with 2.5GbE are a different SKU.[1]
No. This page is the factory-memory diskless enclosure.[4]
Only if the client, switch, SMB multichannel settings and disk array can use both links. The adopted review did not document that path.[6][1]
The table includes HDMI 2.0b and ASUSTOR Portal. That is local output, not proof of a specific 4K transcode count.[1]
