The video covers Linus Tech Tips’ tour of the Asus store booth at Computex 2013, focusing on the Asustor 3 Series and 6 Series app-enabled NAS products. The host highlights design choices such as an IR receiver on the 2-bay 3 Series, and an HDMI output that enables use with Boxy software and a demo AI remote app. The 6 Series is presented in configurations from two to eight drives and stands out for its expandable memory and dual-core processor, emphasizing how App Central allows adding functionality over time. A key feature is the AI download and the web UI search light, which provide on-device search and app-based functionality via the App Central ecosystem, including about 100 available apps and Dropbox integration. The host explains practical enhancements like Spotlight-style search that works through the web UI and integration with mobile apps for remote access, backup, and restore, signaling a broader shift toward app-driven NAS capabilities. The discussion also touches on drive pairing with Western Digital products, recommending WD Red for smaller configurations and WD SE for larger, enterprise-grade setups, balancing cost, noise, and vibration considerations. Overall, the presentation frames Asustor as a flexible, expandable NAS solution designed for storage-focused users who value app ecosystems, remote access, and media-centric features. The video closes with credits to WD and Corsair as sponsors and a call to subscribe for Linus Tech Tips content.
