On top of that, ADM 5.0 Beta introduces numerous personalization settings and advanced security features while also increasing overall transfer performance for a superior storage experience.

Customizable Toolbar

The redesigned ADM 5.0 toolbar allows users to display it at the top or bottom of the screen as well as auto-hide it. This flexibility ensures optimal screen space utilization, enabling seamless access to ADM functionalities across devices with varying screen sizes.

Functional and Aesthetic

ADM 5.0 incorporates a user centric design approach, revamping the layout and information display for hard drives and M.2 SSDs in Storage Manager. Desktop icons and preference settings are streamlined to deliver a visually appealing and practical user experience. The login page adapts automatically to different screen sizes, orientations, and ratios, and now supports vertical screen displays for enhanced productivity.

New ADM Defender – A Safer NAS

The all-new ADM Defender offers default and customizable firewall rules, with intelligent security features that actively block suspicious IP connections and monitor network packets to intercept potential threats. This standalone app simplifies the activation of firewall and security features, significantly reducing the risk of NAS attacks and boosting ADM’s data security.

SSH Keys for Secure Logins

Using SSH to access your NAS unlocks powerful functionality. Enabling SSH key authentication improves security as well as convenience, eliminating the need for simple, easy-to-breach passwords or overly complex ones that are hard to remember. Unique keys for different administrator accounts, combined with private key storage on SSH clients, allow password logins to no longer be necessary, greatly enhancing SSH connection security.

OpenSSL Upgraded

ADM 5.0 upgrades OpenSSL and encryption standards across all connections. Whether using Samba for Windows or macOS, FTP, Rsync, or web connections, ADM now offers faster and more stable encrypted connections, strengthening the security of ASUSTOR NAS devices.

SAMBA Upgraded

The all new SAMBA makes SMB multichannel no longer experimental. SMB Multichannel enables the combination of multiple network ports for improved network speeds and fault tolerance, boosting local file transfer performance.

New Kernel is Better Kernel

ADM 5.0 upgrades the Linux Kernel version to 6.6 LTS. Kernel 6.6 LTS introduces numerous security fixes and solutions for potential vulnerabilities. The new kernel enhances system and Btrfs performance and stability, while expanding compatibility with new hardware, opening up more possibilities for future hardware integration.

Easy Text File Editing

ADM 5.0 introduces support for editing plain text files. By downloading the new text editor app from App Central, it is possible to directly create or edit various text files on an ASUSTOR NAS and edit them without using a PC.
