The compact Minisforum NAS N5 Air combines mini PC performance with NAS features for fast sharing, backup, and data management. It offers AMD Ryzen 7 255 (8 cores/16 threads), 16 GB DDR5 RAM, and a 64GB NVMe SSD for the system, plus support for up to 5× SATA drives and 3× M.2 NVMe PCIe 4.0 for maximum capacity and speed. With 10GbE + 5GbE LAN, RAID 0/1/5/6 support, and expandability via PCIe, it’s ideal for home and office.
Fast networking for instant backups and file work
The pair of network ports 10GbE + 5GbE significantly speeds up copying large files, multi-user workflows, and regular backups. An ideal choice for a home NAS, office server, and creative workflows where network throughput matters.
Generous storage options and RAID for data security
Support for up to 5× SATA 3.5"/2.5" and 3× M.2 NVMe PCIe 4.0 lets you combine capacity and speed. RAID 0/1/5/6 support helps protect your data and increases overall storage reliability.
Compact metal body and efficient cooling for continuous operation
The rugged, compact design saves desk space while supporting stable long-term operation. Heat is handled by 2× 92mm axial fans and well-designed case ventilation—key for 24/7 NAS server use.
Minisforum NAS N5 Air is a powerful network server and at the same time a full-featured mini PC for modern home and business use. It lets you centrally store data, share it on the network, automate backups, and also run applications or services that require higher compute performance. Snappy operation is provided by the AMD Ryzen 7 255 and integrated AMD Radeon 780M graphics, so the device can handle multimedia scenarios as well, including high-resolution playback.
The biggest advantage is storage flexibility: a combination of 5 bays for 3.5"/2.5" SATA and 3 M.2 NVMe PCIe 4.0 slots lets you build fast and high-capacity storage without compromise. This configuration includes a 64GB NVMe SSD for the system and 16GB DDR5 RAM (expandable up to 96 GB). For data safety, RAID 0/1/5/6 support is included.
