ASUSTOR AS6808T network attached storage system

Who this configuration fits

File sharing and backup

8 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]

Good fit

Direct display and hardware media transcoding

There is no documented display output or proven codec-specific hardware-transcoding workload.[1]

Limited fit

Fast wired transfers

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]

Living with it

Storage, network and software trade-offs

01

What the table guarantees

V3C14, 16GB ECC DDR5 (64GB max), eight SATA, four M.2 PCIe 4.0 x1, dual 10GbE and dual 5GbE, USB4 without host-to-host, 250W, 58.5W operation, 6.45 kg. No HDMI.[1]

02

Compare the exact bay count

This enclosure has eight SATA bays. Results from a smaller enclosure do not establish its array throughput, noise or cooling performance.[1]

What still needs a real-world test

We have verified the specifications, but have not found an original test that we can reliably apply to this exact model. The advice above follows the documented features; performance, noise and long-term reliability are not independently established here.

Questions before buying AS6808T

USB4 DAS?

Host-to-host is not supported on the published table.[1]

Drives included?

No.[4]

Same internals as AS6804T?

Same CPU/RAM/NIC class; eight bays, 250W, 58.5W, 6.45 kg. Throughput still depends on disks and Ethernet.[1]

Can I add a network card and keep all four M.2 slots?

The official AS68 installation guide requires removing the M.2 card to fit the supported add-in 10GbE card. You trade the four M.2 slots for that card; the two built-in 10GbE ports and two 5GbE ports already work without this change.[1][5]
