Jonsbo N6 is a compact NAS chassis built for users who want serious storage density without moving to a full tower. Designed around a two-compartment layout, it separates your storage from your main system hardware, making airflow and cable management far easier than in typical small cases.
In the lower section, the N6 houses up to nine 3.5-inch drives with support for both SATA and SAS, ideal for a high-capacity home NAS, media server, or small business storage box. Up top, it accepts micro-ATX motherboards, giving you the flexibility to build anything from a dedicated NAS to a compact workstation or small server with room for expansion.
The case measures 305 x 353 x 318 mm and features a clean industrial aesthetic with a distinctive wooden veneer accent on the front panel. Front I/O includes a USB-C 10 Gbps port, a USB-A 5 Gbps port, and a 2-in-1 audio jack. A row of nine drive activity LEDs lets you monitor each bay at a glance, and a built-in three-speed fan controller helps you balance noise and thermals.
Cooling is well thought out for a case this size. The lower bay comes pre-fitted with two 120 mm dual ball-bearing fans at the rear for steady airflow over the drive array. In total, the chassis supports up to seven fans, and the front panel can accommodate a 240 mm radiator if you prefer liquid cooling. The upper compartment supports graphics cards up to 320 mm in length, useful for GPU-accelerated media transcoding or light workstation tasks.
A standout feature is the server-grade hot-swappable backplane with gold-plated SAS connectors. It’s powered by four inputs—dual SATA and dual PATA—providing flexibility and stability when running a full set of drives. Power supply placement is equally versatile, with three mounting options: front top, rear top, or rear bottom, and support for dual PSU configurations if your build demands redundancy or extra headroom.
