An ASUSTOR NAS or network attached storage is a computer appliance built from the ground up for storing and serving files. It attaches directly to a network, allowing those on the network to access and share files from a central location.

ASUSTOR NAS products utilize high performance Intel processors and are separated into low, middle and high price points according to their processor type. These processor types are Atom, Celeron, Core-i3 and Xeon. ASUSTOR also offers entry-level models with Marvell dual-core processors. For entry-level users on a budget, the 2, 3, and 31 series devices equipped with Atom/Celeron processors and the 10/40 series featuring Marvell processors come with a lower price tag. For prosumers and small business users that are after performance and application flexibility, the 50, 51, 61 and 62 series devices offer excellent performance with the mid-range Celeron processors at a mid-range price. For enterprise users, we can recommend the 70 series devices with their Core-i3 and Xeon processors. ASUSTOR Comparison Table

ASUSTOR NAS devices come in 2, 4, 8, 9, 10, 12 drive bay models. When selecting a NAS you should take into account the amount of storage space that you need and the RAID level that you wish to use. When creating a RAID 1 volume, a NAS with at least 2 drive bays is required (e.g., AS1002T, AS-302T, AS3102T, AS5002T). Creating a RAID 5 volume will require a NAS with at least 4 drive bays (e.g., AS5104T, AS6204T AS7004T, AS5008T, AS7010T). All ASUSTOR NAS devices also provide online capacity expansion and online RAID migration which helps users to effortlessly meet future expansion needs.
