Introducing the X86-P6 Pocket: A Palm-Sized NAS with Impressive Storage Capabilities

The X86-P6 Pocket is a tiny yet powerful network-attached storage (NAS) system that redefines compact computing solutions. Measuring a mere 100 x 100 x 58.5mm, this device packs a punch with support for up to four M.2 2280 SSDs, providing a massive storage capacity of 32TB. However, its performance is somewhat limited by the Intel Twin Lake processor, resulting in PCIe 3.0 x1 speeds per drive when utilizing all four SSD slots.

Equipped with either an Intel N150 or Core 3 N355 processor, the X86-P6 Pocket NAS can handle up to 32GB of DDR5-4800 memory through a single SODIMM slot. Connectivity options include two 2.5 GbE LAN ports, two USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports, and two HDMI 2.0 outputs. Additionally, the system features an M.2 B-Key slot for WiFi 6 or WiFi 7 modules and Bluetooth support.

To ensure efficient heat management, the NAS is designed with an aluminum radiator and an active cooling system, complete with a fan beneath the mainboard and the option for an additional fan installation. Pricing starts at around $200 for the barebones model with the Intel N150 processor, while the Core 3 N355 version is priced at approximately $315. Users have the choice between pre-configured models or custom installation of storage and memory.

For users seeking a compact yet high-performance NAS solution, the X86-P6 Pocket is a game-changer that offers impressive storage capabilities in a palm-sized package.
