Asustor Unveils Next-Generation NAS Solutions at Computex 2026
Asustor Inc. is set to make a significant impact at Computex 2026 in Taipei, unveiling a comprehensive lineup of advanced network storage solutions. The company will introduce new models that build on its reputation for innovation and reliability in the NAS (Network Attached Storage) market, catering to creators, professionals, and enterprise users alike.
Flashstor Gen3 Series: High-Performance Flash NAS with Local AI Capabilities
The highly anticipated Flashstor Gen3 series represents a major leap forward for all-flash NAS devices, particularly favored by professional photographers and video creators. Powered by the AMD Ryzen 5 Pro 8640U six-core processor, the Flashstor Gen3 delivers up to 16 TOPs of AI computing power. This enables advanced edge computing, intelligent image recognition, and automated data classification—all processed locally to ensure data privacy and security. Asustor’s AI features are entirely optional and do not require cloud connectivity, keeping sensitive data protected on-premises.
One of the standout features is the inclusion of dual USB4 ports, now supporting direct USB4 networking. This allows for ultra-fast data transfers, surpassing traditional 10-Gigabit speeds, and streamlining workflows for content creators handling high-resolution media. The USB4 ports maintain broad compatibility with various devices, maximizing performance for internal SSDs.
The Flashstor Gen3 series continues Asustor’s tradition of offering extensive NVMe storage, with configurations supporting six or twelve M.2 slots for NVMe SSDs and PCIe 4.0 support. This ensures exceptional read/write speeds and robust all-flash storage performance.
For multimedia professionals, the return of HDMI connectivity is a notable addition. The integrated AMD Radeon Graphics enable high-performance video transcoding and support for the latest codecs and high-definition resolutions. The HDMI port also facilitates direct display output for Asustor Portal, virtualization, and third-party operating system installations, enhancing versatility for diverse workflows.
Enterprise-Grade Storage: Lockerstor R Pro Gen2 and Xpanstor 12R Gen2
Addressing the needs of enterprise environments, Asustor is introducing the Lockerstor 24R Pro Gen2—a 4U, 24-bay NAS—alongside the broader Lockerstor R Pro Gen2 series. These solutions are engineered for high-capacity, high-availability storage, seamlessly integrating with the new Xpanstor 12R Gen2 expansion unit.
The Lockerstor R Pro Gen2 series supports petabyte-level storage expansion, connecting with up to three Xpanstor 12R Gen2 units to achieve nearly 2 PB of total capacity. This breakthrough enables organizations to manage the vast data demands of modern enterprises and AI-driven applications with ease.
Reliability is at the core of the Xpanstor 12R Gen2, featuring dual 550W platinum-grade redundant power supplies, hot-swappable fans, and dual-path connection mode. This design ensures continuous operation and automatic failover, maintaining uninterrupted access to critical enterprise data.
Data management is streamlined through seamless integration with Asustor’s ADM Storage Manager, allowing IT teams to monitor and manage both host and expansion units, configure RAID arrays, enable snapshot protection, and oversee system health from a unified interface.
To underscore its commitment to quality and reliability, Asustor offers a five-year warranty on both the Lockerstor R Pro Gen2 series and the Xpanstor 12R Gen2 expansion units.
