Slimbook CUBE NAS Launches with Ryzen 7 8845HS for $1,412

Slimbook has introduced the CUBE, a new network-attached storage device designed for users who need flexible home or small office data management. The system offers two distinct chassis options to fit different workspace layouts. Buyers can choose between a compact desktop unit and a standard 2U rack-mount version. This dual approach allows users to select the form factor that best matches their existing equipment or space constraints.

Dual chassis options and multi-OS support define the new storage unit

At the core of the CUBE is an AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS processor. This chip provides the computing power needed to handle file serving, virtualization, or media transcoding tasks. The platform supports multiple operating systems, including Linux, Windows, and TrueNAS. This flexibility lets users run their preferred storage software without hardware compatibility issues.

Spec comparison

The desktop CUBE model includes eight 3.5-inch drive bays for high-capacity mechanical storage. The rack-mounted RACK CUBE variant offers four 3.5-inch bays instead. Both versions come equipped with two M.2 slots supporting PCIe Gen4 speeds for faster system or cache storage. Memory starts at 16GB of DDR5 RAM, and the base configuration includes a 500GB SSD for the operating system.

Connectivity is handled by four 2.5GbE RJ-45 ports, providing robust network throughput for data transfer. The front panel features one USB-C port capable of 40Gbps speeds and three USB-A ports running at 5Gbps. These interfaces allow for quick external drive connections and high-speed peripheral support. The system is currently available in the European market.

Pricing for the CUBE starts at 1,222 EUR, which is around $1,412. This cost covers the base configuration with the Ryzen processor, 16GB of RAM, and 500GB SSD. The device ships with the specified hardware ready for immediate deployment. Users interested in this multi-functional NAS can purchase the unit through Slimbook's regional channels.
