5 Things to Know About the Asustor AS5404T

Dual 2.5GbE ports The AS5404T has two 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet ports, matching its 2-bay sibling. Use them for link aggregation to boost speed or failover for reliability.

Consistent networking across the line Asustor keeps the same networking hardware on all Lockerstor 4 models. No surprises if you upgrade from a smaller bay version.

Link aggregation doubles bandwidth Combine both ports to get up to 5Gbps total throughput. This helps with multi-user access or high-bandwidth tasks.

Failover keeps you online If one port fails, the other takes over automatically. Your NAS stays accessible without manual intervention.

No 10GbE option here The AS5404T sticks with 2.5GbE, not 10GbE. This is fine for most home or small office setups but not for heavy enterprise use.
