THE AS5304T EXTERIOR
The 2.2Kg heavy black plastic housing of the AS5304T measures 230mm in length, 174mm in width and 170mm in height.
Exactly like with previous models the activity LEDs for the system health, LAN status, USB ports and the mounted drives are located on the left side of the fascia right beneath the power button and above the one touch backup button and one of the USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports.
The company logo is located on the top right of the fascia.
As with previous ASUSTOR models the fascia is made out of plastic and is actually a removable cover (magnets placed on all 4 corners).
Once removed we see the 4 drive trays all of which are made out of plastic and can be fitted with either 3.5" or 2.5" drives (tool-less installation for 3.5" drives).
Turning the device around we see a large 120mm exhaust fan alongside two USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports, HDMI 2.0a output, 2.5G Ethernet ports, reset button and the DC in.
The AS5304T sits on 4 rubber feet and its housing opens up the same way as did previous models.
