THE AS6302T

Measuring 230mm in depth, 108mm in width and 163.5mm in height the 2Kg heavy AS6302T looks a lot like its predecessors.

As usual the top removable cover is made out of aluminum and is partially perforated on the right side.

The fascia is as expected made out of plastic and aside the two removable drive trays it also has the company logo, activity LEDs (power, HDD, network and USB), USB 3.0 port and an IR receiver.

Both drive trays are made out of aluminum and plastic and can accommodate both 2.5" and 3.5" drives.

At the rear of the NAS we find the USB 3.0 Type-C port, HDMI v2.0 port, two USB 3.0 ports, two Ethernet ports, S/PDIF digital audio output, reset button, Kensington lock and the DC in.

You can access the interior of the unit by removing the three screws found at the rear.

Accessing most of its modules is not easy (thus we didn't take pictures of them) but you can still replace the two stock SO-DIMMs.

Using dual-channel with the AS6302T was a good move but restricting consumer choice to just a 2x1GB model is not how we'd do it.

With two Enterprise NAS 6TB drives mounted on its trays our tests can now be under way.
