The very first dual 2.5G NAS aimed towards gamers is officially here and its name is the Nimbustor 4 AS5304T by ASUSTOR. Network attached storage devices (NAS servers as we like to call them) have always offered a cost-effective solution not only for both local and remote file sharing but also for a plethora of functions including web hosting, system backup, media playback and sharing (video, audio and pictures), network video recording (surveillance), file download, web browsing and more. Even though however due to the large number of possible functions network attached storage devices are able to cover every segment of the market (from regular consumers to enthusiasts and professionals) no manufacturer has ever tried to aim them towards gamers, at least until now. ASUSTOR is the very first to do that and today we'll be thoroughly testing their brand new AS5304T model (also referred to as Nimbustor 4).

Founded in 2011, ASUSTOR Inc. was established via direct investment from ASUSTeK Computer Inc. The ASUSTOR brand name was created as a portmanteau of “ASUS” and “Storage”.
