ASUSTOR AS3204T

Powered by the latest Intel Celeron processors

AS3204T is powered by Intel Celeron Braswell quad-core processor, equipped with 2GB of dual-channel memory,

and feature read speeds of over 112 MB/s and write speeds of over 110 MB/s under RAID 1 configurations.

*Performance results may differ depending on the testing environment.

Dual-channel power

The AS32 models support dual-channel memory, be able to smoothly playback 4K video. Furthermore, AS32 series
devices are not only energy efficient, but offer a combination of performance and price that is unmatched in its class.
Get ready to enjoy brilliant ultra high-definition 4K video from the comfort of your own home!

Supercharge your multimedia experience

You no longer need to worry about running into
resolution compatibility issues when playing
videos on your phone, tablet or computer.

Media Converter utilizes a quick and simple

conversion method, allowing you to execute
conversion tasks in the background.

The exclusive built-in Hyper-Transcoding
technology was expertly crafted by ASUSTOR.
This technology utilizes the Intel CPU

hardware acceleration function to make video

file conversions faster and simpler than ever
before. Using Hyper-Transcoding to convert
video files can reduce the normal conversion
time by at least 10 times.

Toolless installation

The AS32 series’ sliding outer cover design allows it to be conveniently removed when needed. The inner hard disk rails
and outer cover all use hand screws allowing for the simple installation of hard disks without any extra tools.

Hardware encryption engine

Protecting your data is ASUSTOR’s top priority. The AS32 series
devices feature Intel AES-NI encryption engines, allowing data to be
completely protected from the moment it is first stored on the NAS.
This means that you never have to worry about your confidential
data falling into the wrong hands even if your hard disks become
lost or stolen. The built-in hardware encryption engine also features

read speeds of over 111 MB/s and write speeds of over 79 MB/s for

encrypted data providing an optimal combination of file security
and system performance.

Add modern flair to your favorite space

The AS32 series devices redefine the aesthetics of a NAS. The stylish
diamond-plate finished cover makes it an elegant addition to any
space, no matter if it is a family room, living room or office.

A Surge in Data Transfer Performance

ADM supports SMB 2.0 which reduces the burden of network traffic on the NAS while simultaneously providing greater
data transfer capacity. In the ASUSTOR testing environment, SMB 2.0 was found to increase Windows networking
performance by 30%-50%*. SMB 2.0 also significantly increases the number of concurrent Windows client connections and
simultaneously open files, making ADM even more suitable for large-scale Microsoft network environments.

* Actual performance may vary due to differences in the installation environment. SMB 2/3 is supported in Windows Vista and later versions of the
Microsoft Windows operating system.

Seamless Cross-Platform File Sharing

ASUSTOR NAS devices provide seamless cross-platform file sharing, allowing you to easily connect to your NAS device no
matter if you are using Windows, Mac OS, or Unix-like operating systems. The transfer protocols that you may use to
connect to an ASUSTOR NAS device are as follows:

Windows: CIFS/SMB, FTP and WebDAV
Mac OS X: AFP, SMB, NFS, FTP and WebDAV
Linux: NFS, SMB, FTP and WebDAV

Enhanced Recycle Bin mechanism

The Network Recycle Bin mechanism is now based on individual
shared folders rather than storage volumes. According to their
needs, users can decide whether or not to enable a Network
Recycle Bin for each individual shared folder, enjoying added
configuration flexibility. Files that are moved to the Recycle Bin
maintain their original directory structure, allowing added
convenience should users need to search for already deleted files.
The simple one-click restore function will restore selected files to
their original directory path while conveniently maintaining all
properties and permissions settings.

Ultimate data protection

ASUSTOR NAS makes use of RAID storage technology to provide protection for your data. RAID mainly revolves around
the core concept of combining your disks to protect the data inside. ASUSTOR offers a number of different RAID level
configurations that you can choose from when creating storage volumes. Each RAID level offers a differing degree of
data protection, system performance and storage space. ASUSTOR’s supported RAID levels are summarized in the
chart below:

Online Capacity Expansion

Insufficient storage space forcing you to consider upgrading your NAS to one with more disk bays?
ASUSTOR NAS supports online capacity expansion¹ which means that you can easily swap out all your old disks for
higher capacity ones without turning off your NAS. Now you can increase the storage capacity of your NAS without
worrying about getting an entire new system.

During the capacity expansion process, while your data is being transferred over to the new disks, you will still be able
to access everything on the NAS. Online capacity expansion does not require any advanced IT skills to execute and
helps you to eliminate cumbersome backup and migration procedures. When it's time to upgrade your NAS's capacity,
ASUSTOR simply gets the job done for you without missing a beat.

¹ You must use RAID 1, 5, 6, or 10

The ultimate tool for remote backup

Rsync is an application originally developed for UNIX that is
usually used for backup and sync between two computers. By
providing block level replication, Rsync is able to offer incremental
backup. Incremental backup allows for successive backup jobs
(after your first backup job) to only copy data that has changed
since your last backup job. Rsync is suitable for use with files and
data that are always changing. It lets you cut down on backup
time while significantly reducing bandwidth usage.

A rich and flexible backup solution

ASUSTOR's Rsync Backup function supports two-way data transfers, incremental backup, encrypted backup and also
the scheduling of your NAS to perform regular backup jobs. It effectively simplifies data backup while also substantially
reducing the burden on IT staff. ASUSTOR's Rsync backup function may be used to complete tasks such as:

- The transfer or backup of data from your NAS to an Rsync compatible server

- Initiating downloads of the data from an Rsync compatible server to your NAS

Regular backups of your vital data

The External backup function supports two-way data transfers,
incremental backups and also the scheduling of your NAS to perform
regular backup jobs. It may be used to complete tasks such as:

- The transfer or backup of the data from your NAS to an external device.

- Initializing the copying of data from an external device to your NAS
