New Xiaomi NAS with cross-platform OS support nears launch as key specs leak

Smart Pikachu, a notable Weibo tipster, has been sharing reports about a Xiaomi NAS for a while now, and per the recent report, it's nearing release. More specifically, the tipster shares that the released schedule is similar to the Xiaomi 17 Ultra, the brand's upcoming camera-focused flagship phone.

To fill you in, recent reports about the Xiaomi 17 Ultra suggested that the flagship phone will launch in China in December 2025. In addition to sharing the possible launch timeline of the Xiaomi NAS, Smart Pikachu has shared some early details about the system.

The tipster reports that the NAS will have support for both 3.5-inch and 2.5-inch SATA drives (4 TB Seagate IronWolf curr. $99.99 on Amazon). However, there's no word on how many bays the system will have. It's also unclear whether it will have compatibility with M.2 drives, something that many of the recently launched systems offer.

Other than that, Smart Pikachu reports that the Xiaomi NAS will run on an operating system that will offer board compatibility. To be precise, the leakster says that it will work with Android, iOS, Windows, macOS, and Linux. The OS is also said to be designed for ease of use.

A spec sheet of this rumored NAS has also surfaced, which suggests that the device will be relatively compact. It's not expected to be port-rich, as the leaked spec sheet hints that it will have one HDMI, one USB 3.0, and one 2.5G Ethernet port. More details about the system could emerge soon.
