ChooseCompute synthesizes manufacturer specifications, original third-party testing and merchant listings. We have not tested the AS6806T 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]
There is no documented display output or proven codec-specific hardware-transcoding workload.[1]
2 x 5 Gigabit Ethernet (5G/2.5G/1G/100M) 2 x 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10G/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
Official: V3C14, 16GB ECC DDR5 (64GB max), six SATA, four M.2 PCIe 4.0 x1, dual 10GbE and dual 5GbE, USB4 with AMD-driver external-storage / Gen3↔Flashstor Gen2 note and host-to-host not supported, 250W, 45W, 18.1 dB HDD idle. No HDMI.[1]
One Windows copy of TK from Datos to Home at 1.30 GB/s. That supports ‘over 1 GB/s’ as a single unnamed copy, not a measured two-port aggregation or 2 GB/s peak. Disks, RAID and client are unnamed. Handbrake/Plex comments have no codec test.[5]
This enclosure has six SATA bays. Results from a smaller enclosure do not establish its array throughput, noise or cooling performance.[1]
Our buying advice combines official specifications with the original reviews below. We have not tested this product ourselves. Expand a review for its setup, measurements and limitations.

Asustor-loaned. Screenshot Datos→Home 1.30 GB/s. Prose 2 GB/s LAG is not in the screenshot. Official M.2 is x1 not x4; USB4 limited to external storage and compatible ASUSTOR NAS links; 18.1 dB is HDD-idle spec.
Read the original reviewEl Chapuzas AS6806T Windows copy screenshot
Tested: Asustor-loaned AS6806T. Prose claims transfers above 1 GB/s and peaks to 2 GB/s using link aggregation of two 10GbE ports. Screenshot 20: Windows copy of TK from Datos to Home at 1.30 GB/s, 100% complete, 0 bytes remaining. Disk models, RAID, which NICs, LAG vs single port, and client are not in the screenshot or the test paragraph.
Applies to: Exact enclosure. 1.30 GB/s is one Windows copy to Home, not a validated single-client LAG test and not 2 GB/s. Do not override official M.2 PCIe 4.0 x1, USB4 host-to-host footnote, or 18.1 dB HDD-idle spec with reviewer x4 / 40 Gbps / dBA lines.

The article claims peaks of 2 GB/s with 10GbE link aggregation. The only screenshot is 1.30 GB/s to Home with unnamed disks. That is not a validated single-client aggregation result.[5]
No. Official table is PCIe 4.0 x1. The review’s x4 line is not used.[1]
The current official AMD USB4 footnote supports external storage and direct links to another Lockerstor Gen3 or Flashstor Gen2 NAS. It does not establish generic direct-to-PC networking or operation as a USB drive.[1]
