As a video and photo editor, I've been waiting for mainstream NAS's to 'catch up' with the speed of computers, and for a while there it seemed like it was never going to happen. Then along came the Asustor Nimbustor 4 Gen 2, which not only has four HDD bays, as is typical, but also FOUR M.2 SSD slots! But how does it actually work in the real world, and how does one even set it up to make it FAST? Let's find out!
