"ASUS-ness" pursued by NAS NAS ASUSTOR "AS202TE" with Atom with HDMI that can be purchased at the 20,000 yen level

Like ASUS

In a good way, it's from ASUS, as it doesn't spoil the user. I felt that way using the "AS202TE" released by ASUSTOR.

No, I'm not saying it's difficult to use. It is entirely up to the user how to select and cook the abundant functions provided as materials and the high-performance hardware that supports them. So to speak, that's the impression.

AS202TE is a 2-bay entry model classified for individuals and homes in the company's lineup. In light of a general NAS, in this class, the CPU is ARM type and the memory is 512MB. If you want an HDMI connection, it's normal to stretch up to a high-end model of around 50,000 yen, and even transcoding videos isn't forced into this class.

However, although this AS202TE is in the price range that even individuals can afford at the actual selling price of Amazon.co.jp (according to August 2015 survey) of 27,800 yen, the CPU is Intel Atom 1.2GHz Dual-Core, Equipped with 1GB of memory. It even has an HDMI port that can be connected to a TV or display.

It is functionally rich and adds a wide variety of apps such as backup, content management, database, media server, security, etc. by using the app download service called App Central as well as general NAS functions. It is possible to do.

In recent NAS, the basic firmware is often the same for each model, but the same applies to ADM used in ASUSTOR, except for some hardware-dependent functions such as Virtual Box for virtualization. , Basically, the same function can be used regardless of entry or high-end.

As with ASUS routers, the joy of having a lot of features and specs that seem to be overkill, whether or not they're actually needed, is irreplaceable.
