Asustor AS1002T NAS review - Product gallery

Located at the backside we can see the ventilation hole, the unit is very silent I must say, and it will power on/off depending on temperature and or configurable fan preference. You can configure power saving and fan options in the software suite. There are few connection options including USB 3.0 (one at the back one in the front). The unit sports one Gigabit Ethernet port.

So connectivity wise you are covered as far as a NAS needs to go. At the backside is the power on/off switch.

At the front side, you can see a USB 3.0 connector on the lower left. There are also LED indicators for the operational status of of the NAS. There is also an IR sensor from the looks of it, likely not functional though. If there ever is going to be a HTPC version release with HDMI out, that's what that IR sensor would be handy for.

It's a simple looking storage unit, what else can we say. It looks good with the dark design. The unit is capable of read speeds of over 110 MB/s and write speeds of over 96 MB/s. If you like to take it up a notch, a hardware encryption engine also features read speeds of over 39 MB/s and write speeds of over 31 MB/s for encrypted data providing an optimal combination of file security and system performance.
