  • NAS with up to 32TB of storage (e.g. TrueNAS)

Your homelab, anywhere.

STRXCT N1 4-bay is a high-performance, 2.0L microserver/NAS kit.

Take your server with you while you're travelling in the outback, moving to a dorm with slow WiFi, or conducting sales meetings across the country.

N1 is your lunchbox-sized server buddy as you stay on-the-go!

Up to 4 Drives

Fill your N1 with up to 4 × 2.5" SATA III drives.

Using 8TB SSDs, that's up to 32TB of speedy, robust flash storage in the palm of your hand!

High-Modulus Carbon Fibre Composite Construction

All panels and braces are made from a tough, carbon fibre polymer composite using additive manufacturing technology.

The use of additive manufacturing also means STRXCT N1 can be totally customised for your order.

Custom orders are subject to an extra engineering fee.

Performant yet Power-Sipping

Spec an Intel® Core™ i3-N97 or -N305 for best-in-class performance-per-watt.

Up to 8 'E-cores' means STRXCT N1 has enough muscle to host a NAS instance, VMs, and containers such as Home Assistant, Plex, or Nextcloud - ideal for home or small business needs!

Compute, Don't Compromise.

In contrast to other ARM-based alternatives, STRXCT N1 is designed around Intel® x86 CPUs that all your favourite server operating systems are built for. Pair that with up to 48GB DDR5 RAM for performance that cannot be beaten at this size and price.

For connectivity, N1 features 2 × 2.5-Gigabit Ethernet and 3 × 4K display outputs and more. Using SMB multichannel or LAGG, this means you can transfer files at up to 5 Gb/s!

In short, you won't find a better-performing server at this size and price!

Easy on the pocket and the planet.

N1 is made from a single uniform material with fasteners and inserts made from one material respectively. This means it can be easily recycled in most locales.

N1 is packaged entirely in paper pulp and cardboard, too, for simple recycling.

No single-use plastics here!

Please Note

For regulatory purposes, this kit does not include the Odroid H4 family motherboard or power supply. You will need to purchase these separately in your locale. To make full use of the 4 drive bays, you will need an Odroid H4+ or H4 Ultra. Links for purchase are provided below. You will need to supply your own RAM and optional eMMC, which you can buy when purchasing your Odroid. You do not need to buy SATA cables separately as these are provided in the STRXCT N1 4-Bay kit.

While the Odroid H4 is FCC and CE certified, we are exploring options for getting our own FCC/CE/UKCA certification so we can sell the whole package one box. Thank you for your support while we figure this out.
