Asustor Flashstor 12 Pro (FS6712X) (2023)

Asustor's Flashstor 12 Pro is an all-flash NAS with twelve M.2 NVMe slots and a single 10GBASE-T port that lets it saturate a 10GbE network. Unlike most NAS units it doubles as a media box: an HDMI 2.0b output drives 4K at 60fps, backed by an optical TOSLINK S/PDIF audio out. Data ports split into two USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10Gbps) and two USB 2.0 Type-A. The twelve M.2 slots are internal and are not cabled ports.

Notes & Compatibility

HDMI 2.0b outputs 4K@60. Optical TOSLINK S/PDIF audio out. Two USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10Gbps) and two USB 2.0 Type-A. Twelve internal M.2 NVMe slots are not cabled ports. Each M.2 slot runs at PCIe 3.0 x1, so a single SSD tops out near 1GB/s and the 10GbE port is the shared ceiling. That port also negotiates 5G, 2.5G, 1G and 100M, so it works on a 2.5GbE switch. Power is a 90W adapter (not modeled). Hardware transcoding handles 4K H.265 at up to 30fps.
