Who this configuration fits
File sharing and backup
All 6 storage slots use NVMe SSDs. Select compatible M.2 2280 modules and budget for endurance and a separate backup. The manufacturer archive contains copied HDD-capacity examples; those are not accepted as SSD limits.[1]
Using SATA hard drives
Its NVMe slots do not accept SATA hard drives, and local SSD headline speeds are not network speeds.[1]
Fast wired transfers
2 x 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet (2.5G/1G/100M); confirm the rest of the network and drive layout.[1]

Storage, network and software trade-offs
Three original Ethernet-bound tests
PCWorld copied ~275 MB/s both ways on one 2.5GbE port with two Crucial P3 drives (ADM 4.2) and treated 590/583 MB/s as vendor figures. PCMag’s 4.9GB folder was 116 MBps on a 1GbE router LAN and 306/288 MBps on a 2.5GbE switch with five WD Red SN700 in RAID 5. IT Pro’s ATTO on two disks reached ~283 MB/s reads at 2MB, again the single multi-gig link.[4][5][6]

PCWorld — one 2.5GbE port
About 275/275 MB/s with two Crucial P3 drives on a single 2.5GbE port. Vendor 590/583 MB/s not adopted.

FS6706T — PCWorld original review
Tested: Two Crucial P3 NVMe modules, ADM 4.2, one 2.5GbE port. SSD capacity/RAID not fully stated. Vendor 590/583 MB/s are lab SMB-multichannel figures, not this test.
Applies to: Exact enclosure model; conclusions apply to the stated tested storage and network setup.
- One 2.5GbE connection limited sustained transfer despite the NVMe storage.Source location: Testing / performance / setup section
| Measurement | Result | Conditions & source location |
|---|---|---|
| Single-port read / write | About 275 / 275 MB/s | Original file-performance discussionPerformance section; associated test paragraph or chart |
Limits to keep in mind
- The article’s dual-port 590/583 MB/s values are vendor figures and are not adopted.
- One review sample is not long-term failure-rate evidence.

PCMag — folder copies on two networks

PCMag Flashstor FS6706T 4.9GB folder tests
Tested: Five 4TB WD Red SN700 NVMe, Btrfs RAID 5 (14.54TB after 1-Click balanced), 4.9GB mixed folder. Path A: NAS 2.5GbE and desktop 10GbE on a 1GbE Wi-Fi 6 router. Path B: both on a 2.5GbE switch.
Applies to: Exact FS6706T. Speeds follow the Ethernet path, not raw NVMe.
- Asustor’s 590/583 MBps claims used lab SMB Multichannel and a multi-gig switch; PCMag did not treat those as its own result.Source location: Testing the Flashstor FS6706T: Exceptional Speed, With a Catch
- On a typical 1GbE router LAN the folder test was 116 MBps both ways — in line with gigabit, not with NVMe headlines.Source location: first scenario paragraph
- On a 2.5GbE switch the same folder reached 306 MBps write and 288 MBps read.Source location: second scenario paragraph
| Measurement | Result | Conditions & source location |
|---|---|---|

ATTO 4KB 45/48, 2MB 249/~283 MB/s. 8GB file 283 MB/s; 11GB/11000 files W95/R41.5 avg 68. HD Plex concurrent smooth ≠ 4K HW transcode. RAID5/multichannel expected not measured. Ignore ‘2GbE’ slip.

IT Pro Flashstor 6 ATTO on a two-disk array
Tested: Two unnamed NVMe SSDs in RAID 1, single 2.5GbE, ATTO plus Windows copies. 11GB set = one 8GB file + photos + 10,000 tiny files (11,000 files total). Concurrent Handbrake job + large Windows copy + HD Plex stream. Article once says 2GbE; the port is 2.5GbE.
Applies to: Exact FS6706T. Two-disk RAID 1 only. Six-drive RAID 5 and dual-port aggregation are author expectations, not measured. HD Plex smoothness is not 4K hardware-transcode proof. Do not copy results or specs onto FS6712X.
- ATTO RAID 1: 4KB W45/R48; 16KB W169/R165; 2MB W249 / R~283 MB/s on one 2.5GbE link.Source location: Performance ATTO paragraph
- Windows single 8GB file R/W 283 MB/s; whole 11GB / 11,000 files W95 / R41.5 MB/s, average 68 MB/s.Source location: real-world Windows copy paragraph
- Handbrake + file copy + HD Plex was smooth with CPU almost flat-out; not a 4K hardware-transcode test.Source location: We finished our tests…
- Six-SSD RAID 5 and port aggregation are ‘we’d expect’, not measured. Accidental ‘2GbE’ wording is not a real port. FS6712X ‘essentially identical’ must not inherit these numbers.Source location: Performance caveats / intro

Limits to keep in mind
- NVMe models unnamed.
- Article ‘2GbE’ is a slip; hardware is 2.5GbE.
- No six-drive or multichannel measurement.
- FS6712X not tested here.

Questions before buying FS6706T
Can I put SATA HDDs in it?
No. NVMe M.2 only.[1]
Will it be fast on my gigabit router?
PCMag measured 116 MBps for a mixed folder on that kind of LAN — NVMe inside does not lift a 1GbE path.[5]
What if I add a 2.5GbE switch?
PCMag’s same folder reached 306/288 MBps; PCWorld saw ~275 MB/s on one 2.5GbE port.[5][4]
How much RAM ships?
4GB DDR4, two slots, 16GB maximum with mixed capacity allowed.[1]
