Product Features
Technical Overview
At the core of the Drivestor 4 Pro is the Realtek RTD1296 system-on-chip, featuring four ARM Cortex-A53 cores clocked at 1.4GHz. This energy-efficient processor is paired with 2GB of DDR4 SDRAM, providing sufficient memory for concurrent file transfers, background tasks, and lightweight application hosting.
Storage connectivity is handled by a Serial ATA/600 controller supporting both 3.5-inch hard drives and 2.5-inch solid-state drives. The system includes comprehensive RAID functionality with support for RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, and JBOD configurations, allowing users to balance performance, capacity, and data protection according to their needs.
This section brings together practical product details such as Number of Hard Drives Supported, Number of Hard Drives Installed, Total Hard Drive Capacity Supported, Processor Model, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
Key Product Advantages
The Drivestor 4 Pro distinguishes itself through its balanced combination of modern connectivity, flexible storage architecture, and compact design. The inclusion of 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet provides headroom beyond standard gigabit speeds, reducing transfer times for large files and improving responsiveness for multiple simultaneous users.
High-Speed Network Interface
The integrated 2.5GbE port delivers up to 2.5 times the throughput of standard gigabit Ethernet, minimizing bottlenecks during large file transfers and media streaming operations.
- Backward compatible with 1GbE networks
- Reduces transfer times for large backups
- Improves responsiveness for multiple users
Flexible Storage Configuration
Four drive bays support both traditional hard drives and modern solid-state drives, allowing users to create hybrid storage arrays that balance capacity, performance, and cost.
- Mix HDD and SSD in same array
- Supports up to 18TB drives per bay
- Hot-swappable drive trays for easy maintenance
Deployment / Use Cases
This NAS is particularly well-suited for small offices requiring a centralized file repository that multiple workstations can access simultaneously. The 2.5GbE networking ensures that document collaboration, project file sharing, and daily backups proceed without creating network congestion.
Home media enthusiasts will appreciate the system's compact size and support for popular streaming protocols. When placed in a living room or home office, it can serve as a reliable Plex media server or iTunes library while maintaining silent operation during media playback.
Small Business File Server
Provides centralized storage for departmental documents, client files, and accounting records with RAID protection against drive failure.
- Simultaneous access for 10+ users
- Automated backup to cloud services
- Access control via user permissions
Personal Cloud & Media Center
Creates a private cloud for photos, videos, and music that can be accessed securely from anywhere while serving as a media hub for home entertainment systems.
- Stream 4K video to multiple devices
- Mobile app access for photos on-the-go
- Automatic photo backup from smartphones
Physical Profile
The desktop chassis measures 6.85 inches wide by 9.06 inches deep by 6.69 inches high, occupying minimal desk or shelf space while providing adequate ventilation for four storage drives. The 4.85-pound weight keeps the system stable during operation without being cumbersome to position or relocate as needs change.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 6.69" (170 mm), 6.85" (174 mm), 9.06" (230 mm), 4.85 lb (2200 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.

User Manual
FAQ
What type of drives can I install in the Drivestor 4 Pro?
The NAS supports both 3.5-inch hard disk drives and 2.5-inch solid-state drives across its four drive bays. You can mix drive types within the same system, though RAID configurations work best with identical drives. The controller supports SATA/600 interface speeds, and the system can accommodate drives up to 18TB each for a maximum raw capacity of 72TB.
Does this NAS include any storage drives?
No, the AS3304T ships as a diskless system without any hard drives or solid-state drives installed. This allows you to select drives that match your specific capacity, performance, and budget requirements. The package includes all necessary mounting hardware for both 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch drives.
What RAID configurations are supported?
The system supports RAID 0 (striping for performance), RAID 1 (mirroring for redundancy), RAID 5 (distributed parity for balance), RAID 6 (double distributed parity for extra protection), RAID 10 (striped mirrors for performance and redundancy), and JBOD (individual drives without RAID). This flexibility lets you choose the right balance of capacity, performance, and data protection for your use case.
Can I connect this to my existing gigabit network?
Yes, the 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet port is fully backward compatible with standard 1GbE networks. When connected to a gigabit switch or router, it will operate at gigabit speeds. To take advantage of the full 2.5GbE capability, you'll need compatible networking equipment including a 2.5GbE switch and appropriate cabling.
What comes in the box with the NAS?
The package includes the Drivestor 4 Pro AS3304T storage system itself, a quick installation guide, an AC power cord, an AC power adapter, one RJ-45 LAN cable (Category 5e), and eight flat head screws specifically for mounting 2.5-inch drives. All necessary components for basic setup are included except for the storage drives.
