THE AS1004T V2

Measuring 218mm in depth, 164mm in width and 165mm in height the 1.5Kg heavy AS1004T V2 is identical to its predecessor.

The fascia is made out of plastic and has the company logo, activity LEDs (power, HDD, network and USB), USB 3.0 port and an IR receiver.

At the rear of the NAS we find a large 120mm exhaust fan, on/off power button, reset button, USB 3.0 port, RJ45 Ethernet port, Kensington lock and the DC in.

The NAS sits on 4 large rubber feet and as you can see the front end of the base is perforated.

Accessing the interior to mount the drives only requires you to remove the 4 rear thumbscrews and then slide both ends.

Just like the original AS1004T the V2 version features a slide-in design for the 4 drive bays.

Without taking apart the entire NAS it's very easy to see the CPU heatsink, 512MB DDR3 SDRAM module and the 16MB flash memory by Macronix.
