Asustor Lockerstor Gen3 Desktop NAS Series with AMD Ryzen CPUs

Asustor, Inc. launches Lockerstor Gen3 series NAS devices with AMD Ryzen CPUs.

With 4 to 10 drive bays; the series arrives with both flexibility and performance. It is designed for performance while maintaining efficiency. In a 1st for the company, the Lockerstor Gen3 features a quad-core AMD Ryzen Embedded SoC that boosts to 3.8GHz.

Take advantage of 4 to 10 drive bays, and 4xM.2 slots for NVMe SSDs that use PCIe 4.0, dual 10GbE, dual 5GbE, and dual USB4. 16GB of ECC DDR5-4800 memory that’s expandable to 64GB. This combination of hardware is not only faster, but sets a performance standard.

The AMD Ryzen V3C14 SoC is built on a 6nm process for maximum performance and efficiency. At a 25W maximum TDP, it achieves energy savings even when crunching high-performance tasks. All Lockerstor Gen3 devices are equipped with dual 10GbE and dual 5GbE network ports, with single-port 10GbE RW speeds reaching up to 1,176MB/s and 1,018MB/s, while SMB multi-channel performance using RAID-5 can reach up to 2,005MB/s and 1,090MB/s respectively.

4xM.2 slots for NVMe SSDs

The Lockerstor Gen3 series all come with 16GB of ECC DDR5-4800 memory. ECC can detect and correct memory errors, which enhances system stability and reliability, and significantly reduces the risk of data errors to ensure system stability in storage environments. Four M.2 slots for NVMe SSDs using PCIe 4.0 can be configured as storage or caching which helps you accelerate transfer rates to maximum levels, giving both capacity and performance.

For connectivity not only does the dual 10GbE bring performance, but the dual USB 4 ports at up to 40Gb/s bring high speeds and Thunderbolt device compatibility to enhance work efficiency and flexibility. USB4 ports connect to Thunderbolt devices like external hard drives or SSDs to take advantage of performance not seen over USB 3.2 ports. In addition, the ADM 5 NAS OS comes with the Lockerstor Gen3 series, which includes numerous optimizations to the user interface, security, and threat monitoring. This combination of hardware and software in the Lockerstor Gen3 series ensures that bottlenecks in NAS systems are a thing of the past.
