GMKTec is launching another NAS mini PC offering up to 64GB (probably eMMC) storage, but at what price?
- GMKTec is yet another vendor cashing in on the NAS + Mini PC combo craze
- Unlike rivals like Ugreen, it has announced a cost-effective entry-level system
- GMKtec describes it as ‘a dual-system NAS’, suggesting dual-boot functionality
GMKTec has announced its G9 NAS mini PC, a 4-bay device aimed at entry-level users.
The G9 is being marketed as a “dual-system” NAS and while specific details are scarce, it does imply that you’ll be able to switch between NAS and mini PC-oriented operating systems.
An official teaser for the product confirms that this device will come with 12GB of RAM, but only 64GB of storage – likely eMMC.
An entry-level model for people with a low budget
The G9 will also be powered by the Intel N150 processor paired with LPDDR5 4800MHz memory. According to GMKTec, this makes the RAM in the system 80% faster than the previous DDR4 standard.
The GMKTec G9 also comes with dual 2.5G Ethernet ports, as well as two USB Type-A ports, a high-speed USB Type-C port, and dual HDMI ports.
GMKTec lists the device as “coming soon,” with no information on pricing.
Considering the specs, especially the eMMC storage, I expect it to be very affordable, but power users will probably want to look elsewhere.
