Vertical GPU, top-loading HDDs: Morefine's 4-bay NAS is unlike any AI workstation PC I've ever seen, thanks to a simple physics law
Morefine's MNAS-X1 stacks four swappable drives above its Ryzen 7 board, leaving room for a full-size gaming GPU inside.
The Morefine MNAS-X1 is a unique four-bay NAS that differs from typical AI workstation PCs. Instead of placing storage drives beside the processor, it stacks them directly above, utilizing a simple physics principle. Warm air naturally rises while cooler air settles lower, keeping drives away from the hottest components below. The chassis measures 218mm by 193mm by 372mm, providing a 15.6L footprint.
It features a white aluminum alloy shell over a steel frame and a glossy purple front panel. Four 3.5-inch bays with spring latch releases allow easy drive swaps without tools. Connectivity options include a USB4 port, USB-A ports, dual 10G RJ45 network jacks, an SD card slot, and an HDMI 2.0 output. The system is powered by an AMD Ryzen 7 Pro 8845HS chip and a Radeon 780M graphics core.
With up to 96GB of RAM, three PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 slots, and four SATA bays, the MNAS-X1 can accommodate a massive 132TB of storage. It supports full-size GPUs and comes equipped with a 64GB RAM module, a 500GB M.2 SSD, and an RTX 5070 graphics card in x8 mode. In benchmarks, the MNAS-X1 achieved a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 16271 and a PCMark 10 total of 9966. However, the pricing and availability have not been confirmed by Morefine.
