Description
Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) Ready: ADM Prepared for Future Threats
ASUSTOR has officially upgraded ADM to support PQC Hybrid TLS encryption certified by the US NIST. This fully adopts the official version of the Kyber algorithm, X25519+ML-KEM 768, and in ADM 5.1 and later, is automatically enables this feature through TLS 1.3 without requiring any configuration. This protects against the Harvest Now, Decrypt Later threat. As long as your browser supports PQC, it will immediately establish a post-quantum cryptography (PQC) encrypted secure connection, and the connection status will be clearly displayed through the ADM interface, ensuring that data stored on your ASUSTOR NAS can withstand future quantum computer threats.

SSD Speeds for Hard Drive Prices – SSD Caching
The recently updated ADM features an updated Linux Kernel and additional performance enhancements. The Lockerstor series introduce M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD caching increasing performance.
1. Lockerstor NVMe SSD caching increases performance by up to 60%.
2. Lockerstor NVMe SSD caching is faster than if all bays were filled with SATA SSDs while remaining cheaper.
With dual 10-Gigabit Ethernet, bottlenecks on NVMe SSDs have been lifted, making the Lockerstor one of the fastest NAS devices ever.
Thumbscrews for easy M.2 SSD installation
Eight Bays with Flexible M.2 SSD Caching
The AS6508T is a cost-effective large capacity NAS designed for enterprise environments. The AS6508T supports online capacity expansion, allowing for the flexible purchase of enterprise storage equipment. When your budget and storage requirements are smaller, you can purchase a smaller number of hard disks. Additional disks can be purchased as your storage requirements grow. Combined with ASUSTOR’s MyArchive storage technology, this allows you to effectively achieve unlimited storage.
Powerful and high efficient cooling design
The Lockerstor utilizes PWM fans with smart speed controls and heatsinks with push-pin mounting to achieve optimal airflow, enhancing stability and maintaining high performance even under high loads.
The Lockerstor’s improved design features improved heatsinks that are taller than previous models to ensure even more efficient cooling and heat dissipation.
Easily upgrade memory by opening the chassis.
The Lockerstor comes with 8 Gigabytes of DDR4 RAM and can be upgraded up to 64GB. DDR4 RAM provides up to 30% greater performance than DDR3 while also lowering energy requirements by 40%.
24/7 Reliability and Durability
All ASUSTOR NAS are designed for and are suitable for 24/7 use. ASUSTOR NAS devices have also undergone rigorous tests, such as drop tests and burn tests to test durability in extreme conditions. Heatsinks were added to sensitive components to dissipate heat, helping to maintain the longevity of the device.
Protected From the Inside and Out
Protect your data from loss, damage and attacks with the ASUSTOR NAS. An ASUSTOR NAS is better protected by running the Linux-based ADM, employing a built-in firewall, ClamAV Antivirus, MyArchive and ADM’s various backup tools help protect ransomware even better.
