The AS-302T is a sleek looking NAS decked out with some Blue and Green LEDs, it is elegant and industrial. The near black matte finish, LED color combination, and small footprint allows you to display your NAS without it being the focus (good or bad).
Up front, the NAS features a Power button, an activity indicator, network indicators, a USB 3.0 Port with instant backup button, the IR receiver, and two hard drive trays. The hard drive trays are interchangeable with other ASUSTOR NAS models and sport an easy “push to release” button along with power and activity LEDs.
The sides are your typical fare… nothing but some ventilation. I am waiting for the day that they start adding windows and lighting to the NAS.
Around back, you have the 70mm cooling fan, another USB 3.0 port, 2 USB 2.0 ports, the 10/100/1000 Ethernet Port, power, a headphone jack, and the HDMI 1.4a Port.
The optional remote control is not as complex as you would expect or maybe hope for. It features only 10 buttons, each of which is assigned different responsibilities based on the application you are using. There is a Power Button, a Home Button, a Settings Button, some arrows, an OK button, back and play pause buttons. No batteries included.
