It is possible that people who do not have a very technical profile have never heard of architecture. ARM, because it is generally normal that people only know the one used by both Intel and AMD, this one being the one used in desktop computers, but the problem with the latter menti oned is that it is developed for processors extremely powerful, so for others the devices are not very good. For this reason, ASUSTOR
If we talk about the architectures that currently exist, we can divide them based on the device in which they are used, and that is that the architecture ARM It is the one used, for example, in the processors of mobile devices. In fact, this type of technology consumes less energy, and at the same time it does not lack much power, if we do not obviously compare it to a desktop processor. For these reasons, this type of architecture has been implemented in devices with, for example, a built-in battery.
The reasons why ASUSTOR uses ARM in its NAS
As we mentioned before, one of the main reasons why this architecture is used is the low energy cost it implies, since in a device that only performs a single function it is a waste of use a processor that consumes more than normal. should. In this way it becomes the best option for this brand that offers these network storage systems, since it represents savings when connecting this device.
On the other hand, the company that presented these new models with integration of ARMindicates that the use of these processors allows their devices to have a noticeable improvement in the performance of the CPUthey will therefore not only save energy, but will perform their function in a more agile and faster way, among other things, since these processors 4 hearts enable this new generation of storage systems to have a performance And 21% higher that of his predecessors.
Drivestor Pro Gen2, the new generation of NAS
Going into more technical details, ASUSTOR has presented two new models of this type of storage system, the biggest difference that exists between these two versions lies in the price and the number of bays, since the model that only includes 2 berries ($269) is less expensive than the 4-bay model ($339). Otherwise, the models include the same features and technical specifications.
As we have already said, there is no big difference on the technical level of these NAS, since both include compatibility with Local network of 2.5 Gigabitas well as maximum storage of 44 TB in the case of the 2-bay model, and 88 TB for the 4 bay model. On the other hand, they obviously allow us to configure the type of RAID we want, highlighting the RAID5because using this configuration they will reach a maximum speed of 287 MB/s in reading and 293 MB/s in writing.
