May it Rain Price to Performance! The ASUSTOR Drivestor Pro Gen2 is Here!

Btrfs support and a huge increase in CPU performance make the best value NAS an even better value!

Taipei, Taiwan, January 8, 2024 – Today marks the launch of not just two new incredibly well-designed NAS devices, but also two new features brand new to the ASUSTOR line of NAS devices with ARM processors. The introduction of the Drivestor 2 Pro Gen2 and Drivestor 4 Pro Gen2 come with an upgraded SoC, providing 21% more performance, which increases read and write speeds and performance for the features and apps available for the Drivestor Pro Gen2. The Drivestor Pro Gen2 series comes with 2.5-Gigabit Ethernet, hot-swappable hard drive bays, hardware transcoding, tool-free design and more! The upgraded iGPU found in the Drivestor Pro Gen2 now gives even better performance when transcoding multimedia.

The all-new Drivestor Pro Gen2 series comes with a new killer feature. Btrfs is now supported on the Drivestor Pro Gen2, a first for ASUSTOR NAS devices running ARM CPUs. Btrfs helps protect data by enabling snapshots of data at certain points in time and is able to rewind the clock should any unintentional modifications be made and restore data if needed.

The Drivestor Pro Gen2 series comes equipped with the latest version of ADM for maximum functionality. ADM 4.2 incorporates multiple new security measures like the all-new Dr. ASUSTOR, which takes a more proactive approach to NAS security. At the same time, ADM 4.2 can also detect and provide security recommendations for immediate optimization to help reduce the risk of attacks by malicious individuals.

The MSRP for the Drivestor 2 Pro and Drivestor 4 Pro are $269 and $339 respectively.
