There is no doubt the NAS platform has evolved immensely in the last ten years. Asustor has grown rapidly in this same time frame coming into the market mid-2011. Back then NAS systems were simple, Marvell powered solutions designed as pure storage platforms for the entire home. Since then, Synology, Qnap, and Asustor have pushed each other in the consumer space to the point where we now have full app ecosystems, extremely powerful platforms with legit x86-64 processors and 4-8GB of memory has become standard.
