About this product
The ORICO MetaBox Mini NAS Storage is a networkable enclosure designed for 3.5-inch HDDs and SSDs. It features a USB 3.0 interface for direct connection and offers NAS functionality with APP, Samba, and DLNA support for network access.

Its gray color and compact dimensions make it suitable for desktop placement.
Our take
This ORICO MetaBox Mini NAS is a decent option if you're looking to dip your toes into network-attached storage without breaking the bank. The USB 3.0 interface ensures fast local transfers, and the inclusion of APP, Samba, and DLNA means you can access your files and stream media across your home network. It supports both HDDs and SSDs, which is a nice touch for flexibility. However, with only 8GB of listed storage capacity and 1GB cache, it seems designed for a single drive or light use. For heavier NAS applications, you might want something with more robust internal storage or processing power. It's an entry-level NAS for personal use.
