Design Features
The N6 NAS features a unique layout that provides two separate sections: one for the main PC components and another beneath it for the drives. It can hold up to nine 3.5″ drives, and the upper section is designed to accommodate the mATX format. Users can fit GPUs that are up to 320 mm long, and the chassis allows for seven internal fans in total.
Compatibility and Performance
For CPU coolers, a maximum height of 160 mm is supported. A significant benefit of the Jonsbo N6 NAS is its server-grade drive backplane, enabling users to hot swap individual drives. The chassis is compatible with both ATX and SFX power supply units (like the Cooler Master V850, currently priced at $125 on Amazon), with three different mounting options available as shown in the image below.
Connectivity Options
In terms of I/O options, the chassis has a decent selection located on a wooden panel at the center. The ports include a USB-C port (10 Gbps), a USB-A port (5 Gbps), and a 3.5 mm audio combo jack. Additionally, there are nine drive status indicators and a fan controller with three speed settings.
Measuring 30.5 x 35.3 x 31.8 cm, or about 12 x 13.9 x 12.5 inches, the N6 has a cube-like shape and features an appealing design. The case is primarily made of steel, except for the I/O strip, which is made from wood. As noted earlier, the Jonsbo N6 NAS chassis is priced at 699 Yuan or approximately $100.
