Xiaomi's first NAS goes up for crowdfunding — 2-bay, up to 40TB SSD, built by Hikvision

Sun, 28 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0800

Xiaomi’s first NAS device, the “Xiaomi Smart Storage,” is heading to crowdfunding next week — and leaked engineering unit specs give a clear picture of what’s packed inside.

The company opened pre-registration for the campaign on June 24. The actual sale goes live July 1 at 10:00 AM Beijing time and runs through July 8. For Xiaomi, a company best known for phones and smart home gear, this is a notable first step into the personal NAS market.

According to leaker @6GHz, the engineering sample carries 2GB of RAM and 8GB of flash storage. The processor is where things get fuzzy — the leaker originally reported a Realtek RTD1619B chip, but commenters pushed back, arguing it is actually a quad-core Cortex-A55 design. Either way, it is an ARM-based SoC squarely in the midrange NAS tier, aimed at home users rather than storage power users.

The unit uses a 2-bay design supporting up to 40TB of SSD storage total. Port selection includes a single USB-A 3.0 and an HDMI 1.4 output, which suggests it could also function as a media playback device.
