ASUSTOR Drivestor 2 Lite AS1102TL - 2-bay network-attached storage, black

The ASUSTOR Drivestor 2 Lite AS1102TL 2-Bay NAS is a network-attached storage unit for home cloud access and small business data sharing. This diskless device uses a 1.7 GHz Realtek RTD1619B quad-core processor and 1 GB of DDR4 memory to run the ADM 4.0 operating system and support multiple concurrent file services. Users can install up to two 3.5-inch SATA III hard drives for a maximum capacity of 36 TB. Data can be organized using RAID 0, RAID 1, or JBOD configurations, depending on whether the priority is redundancy or storage capacity. You can manage the system via browser-based tools in Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Microsoft Edge.

A 70 mm fan inside the mini tower chassis provides active cooling, with a noise level of 18.6 dB during operation. The unit is powered by an external 65 W adapter, with typical power consumption rated at 11.7 W. Gigabit Ethernet provides network speeds up to 1000 Mbit/s, with support for Jumbo frames to assist with large file transfers. The system is compatible with Windows Server environments (2003–2016) and macOS X 10.10. Wake-on-LAN is included for remote power management, and the unit features an internal 8 GB flash memory chip for firmware.
