Why ASUSTOR?
In the wake of technological advancements, information and data are becoming digitized in ever-increasing amounts, creating so-called "digital assets". Following increasing demand and the above-mentioned technological advancements, digital assets are continually growing at an exceptionally rapid rate. Ensuring the security of these digital assets, simplifying their management, and lowering the TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) are becoming important issues in the IT field for both individuals and businesses alike.
ASUSTOR NAS devices are able to provide optimal data protection through RAID technology. A diverse array of automatic backup solutions are also supported, guaranteeing the security of your data.

Easy Hardware Maintenance - Service LED Indicator
Engineers often have trouble finding a specific server needing maintenance when faced with numerous servers in a server rack. All ASUSTOR rackmount NAS devices come with service LED indicators on both the front and back of the device. After pushing the service LED button located on the front of the device, the corresponding service LED indicator on the back of the device will light up. Now engineers will be able to quickly locate the device without having to count the screws on their server rack or guess the position of the device. Furthermore, the service LED indicator can be turned on and off from within the ADM interface.
Better Price, Better Performance
ASUSTOR's ADM operating system combined with an Intel processor allows the 2 series to raise read and write performance to the max.
