[Crystal.Y@AST]

Every year on April 22, the world will celebrate Earth Day, aiming to raise awareness about environmental protection. But going green should start with everyday habits. ASUSTOR offers a range of energy-saving features tailored to different usage scenarios, helping users adopt a more sustainable lifestyle with ease.


1. Hardware Energy Management
From adjusting LED brightness and activation modes, to buzzer settings and fan speed control (automatic or manual), an ASUSTOR NAS gives users flexible options to manage power consumption.

2. Power Scheduling
Let your NAS operate according to your daily routine! By setting schedules, your NAS can automatically power off when unneeded—saving energy and improving efficiency. You can also schedule it to power on before work starts, eliminating boot wait time without breaking your green flow.

3. Dual Wake-on-Network – WOW & WOL
Supporting both WOW (Wake on WAN) and WOL (Wake on LAN), ASUSTOR NAS devices allow you to power on an ASUSTOR NAS remotely or within a local network. This offers both convenience while also saving power.

4. System Auto Sleep (S3)
When a NAS remains idle for an extended period, it will automatically enter S3 sleep mode—prolonging the lifespan of the NAS and hard drives while significantly cutting down electricity costs.

5. MyArchive Auto Backup
Users can set scheduled backups, and the system will automatically mount the designated drive at the set time, perform the backup, and then unmount it—ensuring both energy efficiency and increased data security.
