Asustor Completes AS72 Rackmount NAS Lineup with 24-Bay AS7224RDX

Asustor has rounded out its AS72 rackmount NAS lineup with the AS7224RDX Lockerstor 24R Pro Gen 2, adding a 24-bay option to sit alongside the existing 12-bay AS7212RDX and 16-bay AS7216RDX models that launched back in August 2025. The new model supports drives up to 32 TB, giving it a raw internal capacity of 768 TB. It can be expanded to 36 bays with the AX7012R expansion unit, at which point it can pass the 1 PB internal capacity. The AS72 family runs on an AMD Ryzen 7 Pro 7745 (8 cores, up to 5.3 GHz) and comes with 16 GB of DDR5-4800 ECC memory, upgradeable to 192 GB. Networking covers dual 10 GbE and dual 1 GbE out of the box, with PCIe Gen 5 x8 and x4 slots available for 25/40/50 GbE NICs or SAS cards if you need more. Asustor quotes SMB multichannel speeds of up to 2,309 MB/s read and 1,886 MB/s write over 10 GbE in RAID 5.

The rest of the feature set is what you’d expect at this level: RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60, hot-swap bays, a hardware encryption engine, M.2 PCIe Gen 5 SSD support, four USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports, and dual redundant 550 W 80 Plus Platinum PSUs. No pricing has been announced.
