- Xcy X108 can theoretically handle 204TB inside a box size box
- Intel’s N150 processor offers modest performance with low power
- EIGHT SATA BAIHS allow configurations configurations far beyond 144TB of storage
The XCy X108 is an unusually compact storage system designed to provide a very high capacity in a small enclosure.
It supports up to eight 3.5 -inch bays, which at 18 TB provides 144TB capacity, or considerably more with newer units of 30 TB and 36TB.
When combined with additional M.2 slots, total theoretical capacity reaches 204 TB, which puts it near the largest HDD matrices available on devices of this size.
DESIGN AND INTERNAL SPECIFICATIONS
A little larger than two boxes of stacked shoes, the XCy X108 is still modest in size while offering several storage options.
Buyers can choose between versions with four, six or eight bays, depending on capacity requirements.
The system is executed in the Intel N150, a 10 Nm processor with four nuclei and four threads recorded up to 3.6 GHz.
Although it is not so powerful compared to the hardware of the workstation, its lowest energy raffle can be useful for a device for continuous operation.
Integrated Intel UHD graphics with 24 execution units can decode video VP9 and H.265, including 4K reproduction to 60 cadres per second.
Memory support extends to 32 GB of DDR4 Sodimm, which should be sufficient for NAS server applications, routing or light.
For faster storage needs, the chassis accommodates up to three NVME M.2 units.
The unique slot, limited to 1 TB, can be used for the operating system, while two others admit up to 4TB each.
With this design, the system can use the best SSD for fast access while dedicating its SATA bays to bulk data storage.
The XCy X108 offers three Ethernet ports: two nominal for 2.5 Gbps and one to 10 Gbps, hinting ambitions beyond home media servers.
Wireless connectivity includes Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2, while screen outlets have HDMI 2.0 and Displayport 1.4. Peripherals are compatible with USB 3.0, USB 2.0 and USB-C ports.
In practice, this combination allows the device to be configured as a router, a multimedia center or a general purpose server.
At the end of the software, its operating system supports Linux support, OpenWRT, IKUAI, LEDE and even Windows 11.
The XCy X108 is currently available between € 208 (around $ 242) and € 325 (approximately $ 378), according to the chosen model.
However, if this small enclosure can reliably handle workloads at the implicit scale in its maximum configuration remains uncertain.
