Dr. ASUSTOR
Dr. ASUSTOR runs diagnostic checks on your settings and the NAS itself.
As you can see, I’m notified that antivirus scheduling has not been enabled, and I’m recommended to install ClamAV.
Once the checks are complete, a summary screen appears.
There are some stability measures present in ADM which kick in when volume usage rates approach 95%.

I did find that their OS was just not up to what I needed. I installed unraid, (I have a N95, processor in mine), The only issue with these off the shelf NAS’s is they are underpowered for Plex or Emby. Added bouse with unraid is ZFS.
I’ve seen a lot of YouTube videos about ADM, both good and bad verdicts.
I’ve used a whole raft of NAS devices with their different proprietary operating systems. From my experience, I find ADM to be very good and easy to use. It’s a good solution for home users.
And it’s an easier solution for beginners than a DIY device using Unraid. Of course, it’s easy to build a much higher spec machine for less money even taking into account the cost of the Unraid license, but it’s much more complicated for most people.
Thanks, this is helpful. I’ve never used Linux before, but it seems that ADM should be fine for me.
