GTBOX WTR MAX Intel Core i5-1235U 11 Bay NAS barebone mini PC

Eleven-bay NAS barebone

The GTBOX WTR MAX is a compact barebone mini PC built around an Intel Core i5-1235U processor and designed to host up to eleven drive bays. It targets users who want a dense, self-assembled network-attached storage platform without a pre-installed operating system or drives.

Dual ten-gigabit and OCuLink expansion

The aluminium chassis integrates two 10 GbE ports based on Intel 82599 controllers alongside two 2.5 GbE Intel I226-V interfaces for high-throughput networking. Front and rear I/O includes HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4, two USB 3.2 Gen 2, one USB 3.2 Gen 1, a USB4 port, an OCuLink connector and a combined audio jack. Internally five M.2 2280 slots wired for PCIe 3.0 and six 3.5-inch SATA bays provide flexible storage layouts.

280-watt external power supply

The unit ships with a 280 W external adapter that powers the CPU, all drive bays and the dual ten-gigabit controllers from a single DC jack. Passive heatsinks on the M.2 slots and active airflow across the drive cage keep thermals in check during sustained RAID rebuilds or media transcoding. Acoustic output stays at typical office background levels under normal workloads.
