Asustor Shows Off Updated Lockerstor 6 Gen2+ at Computex 2025
Asustor didn't have any big news at Computex this year, but the company was showing it's upcoming Lockerstor 6 Gen2+, which is a slightly improved version of the current Lockerstor 6 Gen2, with the only upgrade being a move from red to blue Ethernet ports. Ok, there's a little more to it than a colour change, as the new blue ports support speeds of up to 5 Gbps vs. 2.5 Gbps for the red ports, something Asustor has done to make it easy to visually differentiate between the port speeds. The plus version is set to launch later this year, with no firm launch date as yet.
The company was also showing off its new Lockerstor 12R Pro Gen2 rack mounted NAS appliances with support for either 12 or 16 3.5-inch drives. These 3U or 4U rackmount NASes are powered by AMD's Ryzen 7 Pro processors and come standard with 16 GB of ECC DDR5-4800 memory, dual 10 Gbps Ethernet ports, plus a pair of Gigabit Ethernet ports, one M.2 2280 NVMe PCIe 5.0 x4 slot for an OS drive and a PCIe x8 expansion slot.
