Asustor has gained attention in 2026 for its emphasis on performance and modern networking standards.
The Lockerstor Gen3 series, including the AS6804T and AS6810T, has been recognised for setting a new benchmark in the SMB NAS category. These systems ship with AMD Ryzen V3C14 processors and dual 10GbE ports as standard, removing the need for optional upgrades to achieve high-speed connectivity.
This approach contrasts with platforms that continue to rely on 1GbE networking by default, making Asustor particularly appealing for multi-user environments, large file workflows and virtualisation.
The Flashstor Gen2 continues to perform strongly in niche segments. As an all-NVMe platform, it appeals to users seeking silent operation, compact form factors and high IOPS performance for labs and creative work.
Asustor’s direction in 2026 clearly prioritises throughput and modern infrastructure readiness.
