Asustor 2-Bay and 4-Bay Desktop NAS With Celeron Processor and Multimedia Functions

Asustor Inc. released two NAS models, the AS3102T v2 and AS3204T v2, which improve on the previous design of multimedia NAS, The AS3102T and AS3204T.

The AS3102T v2 and AS3204T v2 are equipped with two GbE ports, allowing the use of network aggregation settings to double the network performance of the NAS. Increasing the amount of Ethernet ports allows HDDs to make better use of their rated speed for those who need it, such as those in the AV industry.

These models also support the Intel AES-NI instruction set, which increases encryption and decryption performance using the CPU. Large amounts of data can now be encrypted more quickly and helps increase data security and efficiency for storage, backup, and remote access.

Johnny Chen, product manager, Asustor, said: “The AS3102T v2 and AS3204T v2 integrate business-quality hardware into an affordable NAS to help increase performance and reliability. Since some higher capacity drives contained only four screw holes, we have redesigned the HDD bays to be compatible with drives that feature four or six screw holes, greatly increasing the flexibility of an Asustor NAS. Therefore, those who need high performance and high storage capacity, the AS3102T v2 and AS3204T v2 are the best choices.“

The all AS3102T v2 and AS3204T v2 will ship with the last version of ADM, making backups and storage easier. Choose from more than 200 apps on App Central. The NAS are also compatible with a variety of USB DACs and can be integrated into an existing HiFi audio set. AiMusic can play music remotely so that music can be listened to anywhere with an Internet connection as well. The company has also improved remote connection features in the up and coming ADM 3.2. Ezconnect.to, the firm’s remote web login service, does not need configuration of the router, instead only requiring an Asustor Cloud ID. Just type in the designated URL with your cloud ID and login to access NAS from anywhere.

All company’s NAS devices have a 3-year warranty.
