1.1 What is an ASUSTOR NAS?

An ASUSTOR NAS or network attached storage is a computer appliance built from the ground up for storing and serving files. It consists mainly of one or more hard drives, an Ethernet connection, and an operating system, ASUSTOR Data Master (ADM). It attaches directly to a network, allowing those on the network to access and share files from a centralized location.

First and foremost, an ASUSTOR NAS allows you to share information amongst your network. It provides a centralized storage solution for your network, allowing you to share files and storage space. With an ASUSTOR NAS, you will not need to keep multiple copies of the same files on multiple hard drives anymore. All devices that are connected to your network will be able to access the same files from your ASUSTOR NAS. Your ASUSTOR NAS also allows for you to share your printer over your network.
