Top pick
ASUSTOR Flashstor 6
Only Flashstor 6 among these systems is designed around six primary NVMe slots.
Why it suits this job
- Storage comes from 6 primary M.2 NVMe slots in the chassis.
- On the network side, 2.5 Gbps is the fastest documented path.
- The catch
- Total capacity depends heavily on which drives you pick, since an all-NVMe pool takes six M.2 drives.
More reasons we picked it

Decision guide
How to choose for this job
No other system here is built around six primary NVMe slots the way Flashstor 6 is.
The deciding factor
Cost per terabyte is still high for NVMe. The unit has six M.2 slots and no SATA bays, and 2.5GbE tops out in theory at about 294 MB/s per link before disk limits apply.
Why ASUSTOR Flashstor 6 is on top
It uses 6 primary M.2 NVMe storage slots, and its fastest documented network path is 2.5 Gbps.
When you should consider another option
If a bay is missing, a better processor will not create it. Let the storage layout and expected growth lead.
What this page can’t tell you
- Drive compatibility can change as time passes.
- Both the full network and the drive array determine real transfer speed.
- The exact media format and client used decide how Plex behaves.
