Growing support for 10 Gigabit Ethernet could bring far better performance to network attached storage, if only more NAS systems could join in.

Asustor's latest third-generation Lockerstor systems are unusual mid-range NAS with two 10- and two 2.5 Gigabit ports matched with fast processors and four PCle 4.0 SSD slots to deliver the best performance of any NAS we've tested.

Inside is an AMD Quad-Core Ryzen processor with 16GB of ECC memory expandable to 64GB. Four bays tuck 3.5or 2.5-inch hard drives away in its slimline case, rising to 10 in the AS6810T, and its four SSD slots are set inside the top of its case.
