Orico CF Cybervault NAS Series Coming Soon

Note – this project is now LIVE on Kickstarter and ends of August 7th 2025. Find out more HERE.

ORICO is preparing to launch a new range of hybrid and all-flash NAS systems under the CyberData Vault banner, targeting a wide spectrum of users—from content creators and post-production teams to small office environments and AI development professionals. The information, shared directly by the brand ahead of its upcoming crowdfunding campaign, reveals six individual models: CF500, CF500 Pro, CF6 (All-Flash), CF56, CF56 Pro, and the CF1000. Each variant is engineered to meet specific workflow demands, offering a range of storage bay configurations, performance tiers, and connectivity options. Central to all models is the integration of the ZFS file system, providing snapshot-based protection and data integrity checks, alongside Intel’s 12th or 13th Gen CPUs, DDR5 memory, and support for hybrid M.2 + HDD setups. These NAS units are designed for users seeking full ownership of their data infrastructure with no recurring software fees—delivering private cloud capabilities optimized for speed, scalability, and reliability.

Orico Cyberdata Vault NAS Hardware Specifications

The ORICO CyberData Vault NAS lineup spans a diverse range of hardware configurations, designed to match varying workloads from basic file storage to high-bandwidth, real-time editing and AI processing. At the entry point, the CF500 and CF500 Pro models provide 5-bay HDD storage combined with dual M.2 SSD slots, powered by either a quad-core Intel N150 or an octa-core Intel Core i3-N305 processor. These systems support up to 32GB of DDR5 memory and are well-suited for small studios or home offices seeking an affordable yet capable hybrid NAS.

Mid-range models like the CF6 (All-Flash), CF56, and CF56 Pro introduce more performance-oriented features. All three are equipped with the 8-core Intel Core i3-N305 CPU and support up to 64GB DDR5 memory, but differ in storage layout. The CF6 is an all-flash system with six M.2 NVMe SSD slots and no HDD bays, tailored for latency-sensitive applications such as video editing or containerized workloads. The CF56 and CF56 Pro, on the other hand, feature a hybrid design—five 3.5″ HDD bays plus six M.2 SSD slots—offering both capacity and speed. These models also begin to incorporate higher-tier I/O, including 10GbE networking and dual HDMI/DisplayPort outputs.

At the top of the range, the CF1000 model pushes into workstation or rackmount territory with 10 HDD bays and 2 M.2 SSD slots, dual 10GbE ports, and a 12-core/16-thread Intel Core i5-1240P processor. With a 128GB SSD boot drive, up to 64GB DDR5 memory support, and expanded RAID options (including RAID 50/60), the CF1000 is positioned for users requiring serious throughput, redundancy, and application scalability. Across the series, thermal management is maintained through active cooling designs, ensuring stable performance even during sustained workloads.

Orico Cyberdata Vault NAS Software Specifications

All six models in the CyberData Vault lineup operate on CyberData OS, ORICO’s fully self-developed operating system designed for professional-grade data storage and media management. Built around the enterprise-grade ZFS file system, the OS supports features such as inline data integrity verification, native encryption, space-efficient snapshots, and advanced RAID configurations (RAID 0/1/5/6/10 on all models, and RAID 50/60 on the CF1000). The ZFS layer also enables up to a 30% performance boost over EXT4 in typical file access and backup scenarios. Data resilience is central to the platform, with support for deduplication, rollback, and point-in-time recovery, making it suitable for high-stakes environments where data consistency and uptime are critical.

CyberData OS is built with cross-platform compatibility, providing unified access and real-time collaboration between Windows, macOS, Android, iOS, and smart TVs. A full set of user and role management tools enables secure file access across teams or departments, while snapshot-based rollback ensures fast recovery from accidental deletions or ransomware incidents. Remote access is handled through P2P networking, allowing seamless file transfers, Office document previews, and collaborative editing, even outside the local network—without compromising on security. The platform also supports one-click file backup and Time Machine integration for macOS, providing tailored backup workflows for both casual and power users.

Beyond core storage functions, the OS serves as a media hub, complete with 4K playback support, automatic movie wall generation, and integration with third-party cloud platforms—allowing users to stream or preview content without full downloads. AI capabilities are deeply embedded, particularly in the CF56 Pro and CF1000, where localized AIGC (AI-generated content) features are available. Users can perform semantic image searches, facial recognition, location-based media filtering, and automatic music/video categorization. These AI tools enhance productivity by minimizing manual sorting and retrieval work in large media libraries.

For developers and power users, the system includes an upgraded FaaS-based Docker environment, allowing microservices deployment, scaling of containerized apps, and remote control of Windows and Linux VMs. Paired with the GPU Dock integration, the NAS can be transformed into a high-performance workstation for offline rendering, design work, or even virtual machine gaming. Additionally, ORICO supports expansion through a Thunderbolt RAID cabinet, offering scalable, high-speed external storage ideal for demanding data workflows or secure long-term backups. Combined, these features elevate CyberData OS from a standard NAS interface to a multi-role private cloud operating environment, capable of adapting to a broad spectrum of home and enterprise tasks.
