FS6806X: specifications and dated store comparison →10GbE all-flash with lane-width caveats, not a silent HDMI upgrade
Factory 8GB DDR5 (ECC supported on ECC DIMMs), diskless, 6x M.2 (1x4 / 3x2 / 2x1 PCIe 4.0), 1x10GbE, USB4 without host-to-host, no HDMI
ChooseCompute synthesizes manufacturer specifications, original third-party testing and merchant listings. We have not tested the FS6806X ourselves. See the review evidence ↓
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]
Its NVMe slots do not accept SATA hard drives, and local SSD headline speeds are not network speeds.[1]
1 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 table: one PCIe 4.0 x4, three x2, two x1. Memory is 8GB DDR5-4800; ECC works only with ECC modules, and mixing non-ECC disables ECC. Factory 8GB is not labeled ECC. USB4 host-to-host is unsupported. No HDMI.[1]
KitGuru tested six mixed 2TB Gen4 SSDs on 10GbE with factory 8GB RAM. ATTO RAID 5 sequential read/write reached about 1,110 MB/s. Its 530.21/481.36 MB/s CDM figures are 4K random results from different arrays. A 50GB mixed folder wrote at 278–290 MB/s across arrays. In RAID 5, encrypting a 16GB folder reduced write speed from 1,031 to 368 MB/s and read speed from 998 to 453 MB/s. Plan around the files and encryption you actually use.[4]
Hands-on confirms HDMI is gone and that x1 slots are the ones that run out of PCIe budget first if you also want USB4. Ambiguous Mb/s asides are not used as measurements.[5]
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.

Six mixed 2TB Gen4 SSDs, factory 8GB and 10GbE. ATTO RAID 5 sequential 1,110 MB/s both ways; 4K CDM random is a separate workload. RAID 5 encrypted write/read 368/453 MB/s versus plain 1,031/998. PCMark overall 153–167 MB/s across arrays. Wall peaks 25.8–29.4 W read and 27.9–38.2 W write; idle 13.1 W. Filesystem unnamed.
Read the original reviewKitGuru Flashstor 6 Gen 2 (FS6806X) 10GbE SSD array tests
Tested: Mixed Gen4 2TB SSDs (Netac NV7000-t, Klevv CRAS C925, Crucial T500, Solidigm P41 Plus, HP FX990 PRO, Samsung 990 PRO) in RAID 0/5/6/10. Client 10GbE Gigabyte GG-AQC107 (Gigabyte supplied). Stock 8GB DDR5. Filesystem not stated on the methodology page (official EXT4/Btrfs). Tools: ATTO, CDM 8.0.5, Intel NASPT, PCMark 10 Data Drive, FastCopy from a 2TB Gen4 SSD. ADM 5.0.0.RA82.
Applies to: Exact FS6806X on 10GbE. KitGuru intro ‘two 10GbE ports’, page-3 ‘8GB ECC’, and closing ‘six PCIe Gen4 x4 slots’ contradict the official table (1×10GbE; 8GB DDR5 with ECC supported if ECC DIMMs; 1×4 + 3×2 + 2×1). Official footnotes win.

Limits to keep in mind
Mark PickavanceMay 24, 2025
Stock 8GB non-ECC; ECC possible per official. USB4 host networking not official. Mb/s arithmetic not measurements. Quiet subjective. Article prices not current.
Read the original reviewTechRadar hands-on: FS6806X lanes, 10GbE and missing HDMI
Tested: Hands-on FS6806X with unspecified Gen4 NVMe modules that were not on the compatibility list but worked during the review window. No RAID benchmark. Performance section is PCIe/USB saturation arithmetic (including 2000Mb/s and 1200Mb/s), not a controlled copy test. Quiet is subjective.
Applies to: Exact enclosure for missing HDMI, 10GbE vs dual 2.5GbE, and stock 8GB non-ECC vs ECC-capable DIMMs (official: Supports ECC; mixing non-ECC disables ECC). USB4 host networking / LAN adapters are reviewer claims; official table says host-to-host is not supported — not settled. Do not convert Mb/s asides into MB/s measurements. 2025 article prices are not current offers.
Limits to keep in mind
This NAS does not support the 3.5-inch HDD catalog; no HDD combinations are generated.
Before you buy

The hardware table lists 8GB DDR5-4800 and separately says ECC is supported and will disable if non-ECC is mixed. It does not call the pre-installed module ECC. Treat Amazon ECC titles as unconfirmed.[1]
KitGuru ATTO RAID 5 sequential read/write reached about 1,110 MB/s. Its mixed-folder and encrypted transfers were slower: RAID 5 encrypted write/read 368/453 MB/s. CDM 4K random figures measure a separate workload.[4]
No. One x4, three x2, two x1. A x1 slot can still fill 10GbE, but USB4 plus LAN at once needs a wider slot according to TechRadar’s wiring discussion.[1][5]
Host-to-host is not supported on the published table.[1]
