The Orico Cyberdata Vault NAS – Price and Release Date

The ORICO CyberData Vault NAS series is expected to launch via Kickstarter in late May to early June, marking the company’s formal entry into the high-performance private cloud storage sector. While final pricing has not yet been confirmed, ORICO aims to offer a competitive tiered structure across the six models, reflecting differences in storage configurations, processing power, and expansion options. Positioned as a direct response to a wave of emerging Chinese NAS alternatives, the CyberData Vault lineup is expected to compete with recent and upcoming releases such as the UGREEN NASync DXP series, the Minisforum N5 Pro, and the Aoostar WTR Max. All of these systems target prosumer and professional users seeking hybrid storage, high-speed connectivity, and non-subscription-based private cloud infrastructure—an increasingly active space that ORICO appears intent on disrupting with its multi-model launch strategy.

Not a bad little device, especially for the "new to the DIY/NAS" community. I think we're seeing a definite move towards compact devices. The N1xx series from Intel has been a big hit for low to mid range devices which is perfect for the demographic I mentioned. Geopolitics aside, I hope to see an increase in performance over time.

Thanks for sharing!

TLDW its a ups/psu all in one unit. The second there is a beefier higher wattage version of this, i am most definitely getting it.

excellent platform to try a lot of things. 2,5 gbe NIC's is a really nice upgrade. Also nice to experiment with 3d printed cases

The Zimma Board 2 will be my first foray into homelabbing. We'll see how it goes. I can hardly wait for it to arrive. I ordered the 8GB memory version but might look into getting the 16GB variant aslo.

Just a comment on the question itself, ”What new gear are you interested in?”

I believe this topic by @Dylan will have eternal life.

I compare this to a Swedish hifi forum I take part in, where a user in September 2005 posted the topic ”What are you listening to right now?” Two simple and innocent questions started it all.  ”What’s rotating on your record player right now? What’s playing in Windows Media player at this moment? ” 

This topic is still active now in 2025 with new posts regularly. Hifi people always listen to music 😉

 

And in the area we’re in, there will always be new computer gear to catch your eye. Or new software, for that matter.

I believe this was like hitting the nail on the head. 

A reflection on a Monday.

Exactly why I made this post - to encourage ongoing dialogue.

 

(BTW - on MY media player just now happens to be a delightful mix of uplifting house transitioning to solid, German techno)
