I often recommend Intel-powered servers when shopping around for a network-attached storage (NAS) enclosure. ARM chips don’t have the grunt to perform many tasks an Intel CPU can do, including transcoding. They’re also equipped with fewer (and slower) ports. That is until the Asustor Drivestor 2 Pro Gen2 (AS3302T v2) came to be. This budget-friendly two-bay NAS is powerful and has some solid expandability. You can connect up to three Asustor expansion units for a maximum of 14 drive bays!
