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

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.
