THE AS7010T EXTERIOR

The AS7010T has room for a total of 10 HDDs so naturally it’s not very small and to be specific it measures 230mm in depth, 293mm in width and 215.5mm in height while it weighs a total of 7.4kg.

Just like with every other NAS by ASUSTOR both sides of the housing are perforated for better ventilation of the interior.

The company logo is once again located at the upper left corner of the fascia right above the on/off power button, the on/off and HDD/Ethernet/one-touch backup activity LEDs and the one-touch backup USB 3.0 port.

A long VFW screen along with 4 navigation buttons is placed above the drive trays.

All ten drive trays come with their own activity LEDs and locks which are very easy to use with a flat screwdriver.

We’ve seen the same sturdy aluminum/plastic trays with all of the previously ASUSTOR models to reach our lab.

The rear contains all of the connectors but the two 120mm exhaust fans really stand out.

From top to bottom the AS7010T comes ready with an slot for a 10GbE Ethernet card, HDMI 1.4a output, two Gigabit Ethernet ports, 2 USB 3.0 ports, 2 USB 2.0 ports, two eSATA ports, optical S/PDIF audio out and a Kensington lock.
