Xiaomi has introduced its first network-attached storage device called the Xiaomi Smart Storage to help users manage personal data without relying on cloud services. The release provides consumers with an on-premises storage solution suitable for personal file backups and media server setups in residential or small office environments.
The new device targets personal file backups and media server setups in residential or small office environments.
The new system uses a dual-bay chassis that accepts two internal drives simultaneously. Buyers can choose from three tiers based on total capacity: an entry model with 4TB, an advanced version offering 8TB, and a professional unit providing 16TB of space.
Every variant utilizes an identical chassis architecture that facilitates simple hard drive mounting procedures. The device is intended for individuals seeking substantial local storage capacity and data privacy, eliminating recurring cloud service costs.
Pre-order crowdfunding begins on June 24 through Xiaomi Mall and Youpin platforms. The official sales period runs from July 1 to July 8, 2026, with availability restricted to the Chinese market.
Xiaomi positions this launch as its initial foray into dedicated storage hardware. Xiaomi introduces an on-site storage option that replaces subscription-based models with tiered capacity options housed within one unified enclosure.
