Folder-Based Efficiency
Unlike other NAS devices, the Drivestor 4 Pro gives you the flexibility to select the individual folders that you want to encrypt. Other NAS devices encrypt entire storage volumes which significantly slows down the system. Any encrypted portions of storage volumes will be subject to a decrease in performance. However, with an Asustor NAS you are free to encrypt only your most confidential data while leaving other data unencrypted, creating a perfect balance between performance and security.

Lower CD and DVD Waste
