How to Decide
ASUSTOR Lockerstor 6 Gen3 is known for its high‑performance 6‑bay NAS built around a desktop‑class AMD Ryzen CPU with dual 10 GbE ports and NVMe caching, and it’s used by SMBs and creative teams. The alternatives split into a few clear camps: QNAP TS‑464 leans on a PCIe expansion slot and hardware transcoding for media‑centric use; TerraMaster F4‑424 Pro emphasizes an Intel Core i3 processor and dual 2.5 GbE networking for solid performance at a lower price point.
When weighing options against the Lockerstor, focus on (1) network throughput – Lockerstor’s native 10 GbE vs the 2.5 GbE of the QNAP and TerraMaster, (2) CPU capability – AMD Ryzen quad‑core versus Intel i3 and the more modest CPUs in competing models, (3) scalability – six hot‑swap bays compared with four‑bay designs, (4) expandability – the QNAP’s PCIe slot for future 10 GbE or other cards versus the fixed ports of the others, and (5) media handling – built‑in hardware transcoding on the QNAP versus reliance on the Lockerstor’s general‑purpose CPU for such tasks.
