The Lockerstor Gen2 Series Brings 10-Gigabit Performance for 5-Gigabit Prices

ASUSTOR has announced the release of the new upgraded Lockerstor Gen2+. Building on the stable and reliable foundation of the Lockerstor Gen2 series NAS, it significantly enhances network and data access performance. The Lockerstor Gen2+ features dual 5GbE network ports, offering up to 10 Gbps of bandwidth through SMB Multichannel, providing creators and professional users with double the performance and team collaboration capabilities.

Taipei, Taiwan, November 25, 2025 – ASUSTOR Inc. officially launches the professional storage cloud Lockerstor Gen2+ desktop NAS series, including three models: Lockerstor 2 Gen2+, Lockerstor 4 Gen2+, and Lockerstor 6 Gen2+. The Lockerstor Gen2+ continues the excellent architecture of its predecessor, featuring a comprehensive Intel Celeron N5105 Quad-Core processor that clocks up to 2.9 GHz, combining outstanding multitasking performance with low power consumption. It supports SMB Multichannel to fully leverage the advantages of 5GbE for up to 10 Gbps of performance, making it an ideal choice for video creators and professional users to perform 4K editing, media backup, and synchronization.
 
The Lockerstor Gen2+ arrives with dual 5GbE network ports, doubling the bandwidth compared to the original Lockerstor Gen2 and effectively halves the transfer time of large files within the local network. This improves stability and efficiency when multiple users access data simultaneously. Sequential read/write speeds using SMB multi-channel are 1146/536 MB/s respectively when testing in RAID 5. The Lockerstor Gen2+ continues to offer flexible and high-value storage configurations. For users requiring high capacity with high speeds, the Lockerstor Gen2+ supports four 8 TB m.2 SSDs while also supporting 30 TB HDDs. This means the largest version, the Lockerstor 6 Gen2+ provides up to 212 TB of storage space with 32 TB of that being the m.2 SSDs for maximum flexibility. In response to feedback demanding more USB flexibility, we have added an additional USB 2.0 port to handle low speed applications like UPS devices to ensure all high speed USB 10 Gbps interface has been added to support external devices such as UPS and printers. Combined with hardware 4K encoding/decoding support and HDMI output, the Lockerstor Gen2+ can easily handle multimedia playback, monitoring, and video application scenarios.
 
The Lockerstor Gen2+ offers a flexible and high-value storage architecture, with three models offering 2, 4, and 6 hard drive bays respectively. All models have the same four M.2 slots for NVMe SSDs that can be used for high speed caching or storage. The Lockerstor Gen2+ supports a variety of RAID modes, comprehensively balancing data security and performance requirements. Whether pursuing high capacity, fast access, or performing image processing and multi-party collaboration, the Lockerstor Gen2+, thanks to its excellent expandability and powerful transfer performance, becomes a storage solution that professionals can trust.
