Minisforum's N5 Max NAS with AMD Strix Halo APU and up to 200TB of storage will start shipping soon

Minisforum's N5 Max is not your everyday NAS; it's a beast. It's powered by the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 processor, aka 'Strix Halo,' which is paired with 64GB of LPDDR5X memory clocked at 8533 MT/s. With the integrated Radeon 8060S graphics, the AI performance is on the order of 126 TOPS, which is why the company is positioning this as a fully integrated AI NAS for local workloads.

The Minisforum N5 Max also ships with OpenClaw pre-installed on its 128GB system drive, the free and open-source AI agent and assistant that is becoming increasingly popular in the productivity space. And as modern large-language models and AI make dealing with large amounts of data easier, the NAS side of the Minisforum N5 Max supports up to 200 TB of total storage across 5 HDD and 5 SSD slots.

This is a device we've covered in the past; however, we've got news (via Tom's Hardware) that the Minisforum N5 Max will be available to order later this week, on April 23, with a sticker price of $2,899.

For those who have been tracking prices for Strix Halo hardware, seeing the Minisforum N5 Max approach $3,000 is not surprising, given its hardware and memory capacity. The update also included the full specs for the device, which you can find below.
