ORICO CyberData NAS Launches with 4 models, including $1400 10-bay CF1000 with Intel Core i5-1240P & 10GbE

ORICO has announced that its CyberData NAS Series moves into full retail availability today, 28 July 2026, selling through the company’s official online store. The range consists of four models, the all-flash CyberData CF6, the hybrid-storage CyberData CF56 and CF56 Pro, and the flagship CyberData CF1000, spanning configurations from a compact six-slot solid-state system up to a ten-bay unit rated for as much as 256TB. The launch follows a crowdfunding campaign that ORICO says brought considerable attention to the CyberData concept, which the company describes as a private digital workspace that combines storage, media management, self-hosted applications and on-device AI tools within a single operating system called CyberData OS. List prices range from $599.99 to $1399.99.

ORICO says the CyberData project first attracted attention during its crowdfunding phase by presenting the NAS as more than a simple file store. A spokesperson for the company’s storage product team said the crowdfunding response showed that users want speed, capacity and control in a system able to grow alongside their data, and described the retail launch as the next step in bringing that idea to a wider audience.

The messaging around the launch repeats a consistent theme across ORICO’s announcement materials: that digital lives are expanding faster than the tools used to manage them, and that CyberData is meant to bring files, media, creative projects and self-hosted applications into a single environment that stays under the user’s own control rather than a third-party cloud service.

Each of the four CyberData models runs the same CyberData OS software, but the underlying hardware differs considerably, moving from a compact all-flash system through to a large-scale hybrid array. The specifications below are taken from ORICO’s launch materials and its own product listing.

CyberData CF6

The CF6 is the smallest model in the range and the only one built without conventional hard drive bays. It uses an Intel Core i3-N305 processor, 12th generation, 8 cores and 8 threads, paired with 16GB of DDR5 memory expandable to 64GB and a 64GB eMMC module for the operating system. Storage comes from six M.2 NVMe slots supporting Basic and RAID 0, 1, 5, 6 and 10 configurations, with a maximum rated capacity of 48TB. Networking is handled by one 2.5GbE port and one 10GbE port, and the unit carries two USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports rated at 10Gb/s, two USB 2.0 ports, one HDMI 2.0 output and one DisplayPort 1.4 output.

CyberData CF56

The CF56 adds five SATA drive bays alongside the same six M.2 NVMe slots used on the CF6, and ORICO rates the combination for up to 168TB of hybrid storage, intended to let active projects sit on fast NVMe storage while larger archives and backups use the SATA bays. Memory, the system flash module, RAID support, networking and ports otherwise mirror the CF6, at 16GB DDR5 (up to 64GB), 64GB eMMC, RAID 0, 1, 5, 6 and 10, one 2.5GbE port plus one 10GbE port, and the same USB and video output complement.

There is a discrepancy in ORICO’s own materials worth noting here. The specification chart circulated with the launch lists the CF56 processor as an Intel Core i5-1240P running at 8 cores and 8 threads, yet the same chip is listed elsewhere in that chart, for the CF56 Pro and CF1000, as a 12-core, 16-thread part, which is the correct configuration for the i5-1240P. ORICO’s own product page instead lists the standard CF56 with the Core i3-N305 also used in the CF6, and the launch text describes the CF56 Pro as adding the i5-1240P over the standard CF56, implying the base model does not carry that chip. Taken together, the i3-N305 appears to be the correct processor for the standard CF56, with the specification chart’s i5-1240P entry likely a copy error rather than an intentional upgrade.

CyberData CF56 Pro

The CF56 Pro keeps the same five-bay-plus-six-M.2 storage layout as the standard CF56 but steps up the rest of the hardware. It uses a 12-core, 16-thread Intel Core i5-1240P, a 128GB SSD in place of the eMMC module used on the lower two models, and two 10GbE ports rather than the mixed 2.5GbE and 10GbE arrangement on the CF6 and CF56. Connectivity is extended with two USB4 ports, a 40Gbps interface, added on top of the USB 3.2 Gen 2 and USB 2.0 ports carried over from the lower models, and video output moves to HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4a with 8K support. ORICO has not published a separate maximum capacity figure for the CF56 Pro, though the shared bay configuration suggests it lines up with the standard CF56.

CyberData CF1000

The CF1000 sits at the top of the range with ten SATA bays and two M.2 NVMe slots, carrying the same 12-core, 16-thread Core i5-1240P, 128GB SSD, dual 10GbE networking, dual USB4 ports and 8K-capable video output as the CF56 Pro. The larger bay count also unlocks RAID 50 and 60 alongside the Basic and RAID 0, 1, 5, 6 and 10 modes available on the smaller models. ORICO’s press materials give a maximum capacity of 256TB for the CF1000, though a separate line on the product page cites up to 316TB. ORICO has not specified the drive sizes used to calculate either figure, so the real ceiling will depend on how large a drive buyers fit into each bay.

All four models run CyberData OS, which ORICO describes as the shared foundation for backup, synchronisation, sharing, media organisation and cross-device access across computers, phones and tablets. The system supports Docker applications and virtual machines, which ORICO says allows users to build self-hosted media services, productivity tools and locally deployed AI workflows around their own data.

On the media side, CyberData OS includes AI-assisted search and classification tools intended to help locate content within large photo and video libraries using images, people, locations, scenes and natural-language descriptions, alongside broader tools for building organised photo, film and music collections. ORICO’s product listing also states that CyberData OS supports cross-platform synchronisation across Android, iOS, macOS, Windows and the web, includes one-click backup compatible with Apple Time Machine, and bundles Plex and Jellyfin media server support.

Data protection is built around the ZFS file system, which ORICO pairs with the standard RAID modes to add snapshot rollback, file undelete recovery, end-to-end encryption and isolated user accounts. Every model supports Basic and RAID 0, 1, 5, 6 and 10, with RAID 50 and 60 reserved for the ten-bay CF1000.

The table below summarises the core specifications across the four models, drawing on ORICO’s launch materials and its product listing.

This is not my first look at ORICO’s storage hardware; the Orico 9758 5-Bay DAS was reviewed here previously as the storage layer for a DIY Unraid NAS build. The CyberData series marks a considerably larger undertaking, moving from external direct-attached storage into fully self-contained NAS hardware with its own operating system.

I have also previously reviewed two Ugreen NASync models that follow a broadly similar approach of pairing conventional drive bays with M.2 caching, and the specification gap between those units and the CyberData range is worth setting out directly.

The Ugreen NASync DXP4800 Plus uses an Intel Pentium Gold 8505, 5 cores and 6 threads, with 8GB of DDR5 memory expandable to 64GB, four SATA bays plus two M.2 NVMe slots, and a maximum rated capacity of 136TB from four 32TB drives and two 8TB M.2 drives. Its networking pairs a 10GbE port with a 2.5GbE port, the same combination ORICO uses on the CF6 and CF56, though the DXP4800 Plus carries two M.2 slots against the six fitted to both ORICO models. The DXP4800 Plus has an RRP of £539.99 and has been seen selling for around £527.

The Ugreen NASync DXP2800 GT uses an AMD Ryzen Embedded R2514, 4 cores and 8 threads, with 8GB of DDR4 memory, two drive bays that can each take a SATA drive or a U.2 NVMe SSD, a single 10GbE port, and a maximum capacity of 80TB. It carries an RRP of £459.99, with a 10 percent launch discount bringing it to around £414. Both Ugreen units have a smaller bay count than any CyberData model except the all-flash CF6, and neither offers the six-slot M.2 array fitted to the CF6 and CF56.

The closest previously covered comparison at the upper end is the Ugreen NASync DXP6800 Pro, referenced in the DXP4800 Plus review as a six-bay step-up model with an Intel Core i5-1235U, dual 10GbE ports and dual Thunderbolt 4 docks, listed at an RRP of £1000 and available at the time for around £850. At current exchange rates, the CyberData CF56 Pro’s list price converts to less than that RRP, and the two share a similar i5-class processor and dual-10GbE networking, though the CF56 Pro adds five SATA bays on top of six M.2 slots, where the DXP6800 Pro’s six bays are configured differently. The CF1000, with ten SATA bays and two M.2 slots, has no direct equivalent among the NAS units I have reviewed to date in terms of raw bay count.

The ORICO CyberData NAS Series goes on sale on 28 July 2026 through ORICO’s official online store. List prices are $599.99 for the CF6 (approximately £450), $699.99 for the CF56 (approximately £525), $899.99 for the CF56 Pro (approximately £675), and $1399.99 for the CF1000 (approximately £1050).

These GBP figures are approximate conversions at current exchange rates rather than official UK pricing, since ORICO has not published a separate GBP RRP at the time of writing. ORICO’s store lists a UK three-pin plug option alongside US, EU and Australian variants at checkout, and the company states that customs fees and VAT for UK orders are included in the listed price. ORICO quotes free shipping on orders over $39.99, an estimated delivery window of 5 to 14 business days, a 30-day return policy and a two-year warranty.
