Download ADM 3.1 today and experience the full range of new features.
ADM 3.1 New Features:
SSD Caching – SSD-like performance with traditional hard drives.
Traditional hard drives are not as fast as SSDs, but their capacity and durability are not as good as traditional hard drives. The best way to combine the best of both worlds is with SSD caching. The SSD cache feature saves frequently accessed file data on a hard disk and stores it on an SSD, thereby optimizing the response time and transfer rates of users when accessing data. ASUSTOR NAS supports read-only access and read-write cache mode. After following the installation wizard, you will be able to easily access your storage spaces and achieve the best balance of capacity and performance.
