As demand grows for private cloud setups and centralized storage at home and in small offices, users are increasingly looking for systems that combine computing performance with flexible storage expansion. The Acemagic N3A Mini PC-NAS is designed to address that need by merging Mini PC hardware with a multi-bay NAS configuration in a single compact chassis.
The system is powered by the AMD Ryzen 7 3750H, a 4-core, 8-thread processor with boost frequencies of up to 4.0 GHz and a 35 W thermal design power. While originally built for mobile platforms, the chip remains suitable for file serving, backup management, and light virtualization workloads. For households with multiple connected devices or small teams handling shared projects, the processor is intended to maintain consistent responsiveness during simultaneous access. It can also support containerized services such as Docker, making it viable for users experimenting with self-hosted applications.
Integrated Radeon RX Vega graphics allow the system to output up to 4K resolution at 60 Hz. This enables smooth local media playback and gives the N3A the option to function as both a storage server and a media system connected directly to a display. Users consolidating devices in space-constrained environments may find this integrated approach useful.
On the storage side, the N3A-3750H includes four SATA drive bays compatible with 3.5-inch hard drives. This configuration allows for high-capacity storage arrays suited for archiving photos, video libraries, backups, and shared documents. In addition, dual M.2 NVMe slots are available for installing high-speed SSDs, which can be configured as system drives or cache layers to improve overall data access speeds.
The system supports up to 64 GB of DDR4 memory across two slots, providing headroom for running multiple background services or expanding workloads over time. Connectivity is handled via Gigabit Ethernet, enabling stable multi-device access within local networks across Windows, macOS, and Linux environments.
Measuring 270 × 150 × 185 mm, the N3A maintains a relatively compact footprint compared to traditional tower-based builds. Its low-power design is intended for continuous operation, making it suitable for 24/7 deployment in home offices or small business setups. By combining compute resources and multi-drive storage into a single enclosure, the Acemagic N3A positions itself as an option for users seeking centralized data management without moving to larger enterprise-grade hardware.
