Compatible with more than 30 Brands - Storage Freedom for All!

ASUSTOR is committed to giving you full control over its NAS. Every ASUSTOR NAS comes unlocked and ready to accept compatible HDDs or SSDs from a variety of brands to build the storage solution that best fits their needs.

Freedom to choose drives means you can:
1. Build a Setup with a Budget of Your Choice
Free from the limitations of expensive proprietary parts, ASUSTOR NAS devices are compatible with numerous drive brands and models and supports drives based on actual needs and budget—from entry-level to high-end options.

2. Use the Latest and Highest Capacity Drives on the Market Today!
Currently, HDDs with up to 36TB capacity are available and NAS units that are limited to in-house drives may not be able to take advantage of the rapid increases in hard drive capacity as the vendor lock-in prevents them from quickly adopting new technologies due to added support costs.

3. Extend NAS Lifespan – Go Green!
ASUSTOR NAS supports multiple drive brands, so even if certain models are discontinued, compatible alternatives can keep the system running. This extends product life, lowers costs, and helps reduce electronic waste—contributing to environmental sustainability.

Check our compatibility list for maximum peace of mind! Hint: It’s not mandatory to use these drives. https://www.asustor.com/service/compatibility
