Jonsbo N10 and NV10 MITX NAS Enclosures

At Computex 2025, Jonsbo introduced two compact NAS enclosures designed specifically for Mini-ITX systems — the N10 and NV10. These cases mark a departure from the larger, high-capacity N5 chassis revealed at Computex the year before, instead prioritizing a more focused approach for users building flash-based NAS setups or compact home servers.

Both models support FLEX power supplies up to 150mm and include a USB Type-C front I/O, but they diverge in functionality: one favors SSD storage, while the other accommodates low-profile GPUs. With a small footprint of just 205mm x 205mm x 108mm, the N10 and NV10 are part of a broader trend toward highly efficient, minimal-space deployments. As demand grows for quieter, energy-efficient NAS builds and localized AI or media applications, these enclosures reflect Jonsbo’s continued push into purpose-built server chassis for the DIY market.

Hardware Specifications for the N10 and NV10

The Jonsbo N10 enclosure is engineered specifically for users building compact NAS systems that rely on SSD storage. It accommodates a Mini-ITX motherboard and includes four internal 2.5-inch drive bays arranged along the base of the chassis. These drive bays do not feature a backplane or quick-release mechanism; instead, drives are mounted using traditional screw-based trays. Users will need to ensure their motherboard or PCIe expansion cards provide the necessary SATA ports to connect all four drives.

The chassis is constructed from a combination of 3.3mm thick aluminum alloy panels and a 1.0mm steel internal frame, contributing to overall structural rigidity while maintaining a lightweight footprint. Cooling is handled by two built-in 40mm fans mounted on the rear panel, operating at 5000 RPM to provide active airflow across the storage bays. The magnetic top panel allows for quick internal access during installation or servicing.

The NV10, while identical in size and base materials to the N10 (205mm wide, 205mm deep, and 108mm high), is tailored to users who require GPU support within a compact chassis. It features two low-profile PCIe expansion slots and supports dual-slot graphics cards up to 190mm in length. There are no dedicated drive bays in the NV10, leaving internal space available for airflow and graphics card installation.

While it does not include internal case fans like the N10, the enclosure relies on ventilation cutouts across the top, sides, and rear to manage passive airflow. Effective cooling in the NV10 will depend on the power supply’s exhaust fan and any active cooling solution on the GPU. The enclosure’s internal volume is tight, so thermal constraints and airflow direction should be carefully planned during assembly.

Both models support FLEX 1U power supplies up to 150mm in length, which mount at the rear of the case above the motherboard tray. The CPU cooler clearance is limited to 38mm in both the N10 and NV10, necessitating the use of low-profile coolers—such as those from Noctua or Dynatron. Neither model includes support for ATX or SFX power supplies, nor is there native support for 3.5-inch HDDs, reinforcing their focus on SSD or flash-only builds.

A single USB Type-C port is located on the front I/O of both enclosures, though no additional USB or audio connectors are present. There is also no onboard fan control or lighting, making these enclosures minimal by design. Weights are modest, with the N10 at 1.6 kg and the NV10 slightly lighter at 1.5 kg, making them easy to transport or integrate into space-limited deployments.

Why Are Jonsbo Enclosures So Popular?

Jonsbo enclosures have gained popularity among NAS and SFF (small form factor) PC builders due to their consistent focus on minimalist design, high material quality, and purpose-built layouts that cater to niche DIY projects. Their use of thick aluminum panels combined with solid steel internals strikes a balance between aesthetics, durability, and thermal performance. Unlike many generic ITX cases, Jonsbo often designs around specific use cases—such as flash-based storage, GPU acceleration, or low-noise operation—rather than attempting to serve broad mainstream needs. This specialization appeals to enthusiasts who value efficient use of space, passive ventilation potential, and understated external styling. Additionally, the availability of features like magnetic panels, FLEX PSU support, and increasing support for ITX motherboards with NAS features has positioned Jonsbo as a go-to brand for compact, customizable server enclosures.

Where is the Jonsbo N6?

While the N10 and NV10 mark Jonsbo’s continued refinement of compact, purpose-driven NAS and SFF enclosures, attention is already shifting to the next model in development: the Jonsbo N6. Although few details have been officially confirmed, early indications suggest that the N6 may attempt to bridge the gap between the high-capacity N5 and the minimal N10/NV10 by offering more drive bays, improved airflow, or even partial hot-swap capabilities—all while retaining the small footprint and aluminum-steel construction the brand is known for. If Jonsbo continues to respond to user demands for compact yet scalable server chassis, the N6 could potentially appeal to builders seeking more flexibility without committing to full tower or rackmount designs. Its rumored release later in 2025 will likely determine how far Jonsbo is willing to expand its NAS-focused lineup beyond flash-only configurations.

      15. I’m ready to get one of the all flash NAS servers, but as Rob keeps identifying, the cooling is the thing. This is a step in the right direction, but I’d still like an Aoostar-type all-flash mini-pc with adequate cooling. If I were staying in the SATA space going forward I’d be looking at the N10.

      18. anyone who thinks a 12-day Nas is overkill is simply not doing data storage the right way even if you’re not a certifiable data hoarder there is no such thing as too much storage it may just take you longer to fill up 12 drives but there’s no such thing as too much storage

      21. Too big to have next to the TV! Off the shelf 4-6 Bay NAS are so expensive given the hardware included and always equipped with noisy fans. DIY is the way to go but nobody seems to make the perfect case for mIDX. Case suppliers should skip on the fans or supply with low noise ones. Xpenology (DSM) is now installable in easy way now.

      46. Ehh. I don’t like the fact there is such a huge jump from the N4 to the N5 in drive bays. I don’t need 12, but I could use 8 drives bays. The N4 has only 6. And the next step down with the N3 only supports mini-ATX boards. I have a Mini ATX as I need 2 PCIe slots for the NBA and 10gig Ethernet.I mean sure this is a good case but my use case is something that is portable. The N4 could fit the bill if the other 2 slots were 3.5″ bays as there are plenty of adapters out there that will convert 3.5 to a 2.5″ SSD setup.

      51. I’m Canadian, so I used a shipping receiving company in USA to receive the box for me for $5 and drove across the border to pick it up – to avoid insane shipping fees. This case is 100% overkill for me, but that’s ok.

        This will be my first NAS build ever, and only second build ever (my other one was a PC). I will be starting off with:
        – Intel Core i5-13600K
        – GIGABYTE Z790 AORUS Elite X WIFI7
        – TeamGroup T-FORCE DELTA RGB 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5 6000MHz CL30 UDIMM (didn’t want RGB, but it was the best deal at the moment for a CL30 DDR5 ram)
        – WD Black SN750 NVMe 1TB PCIe 3.0 (Cache)
        – WD Black SN750 NVMe 512GB PCIe 3.0 (more cache? I don’t really know what to use this for, but I already have it)
        (regarding the SSDs, I am pulling them from my PC, and upgrading my PC ones – so they are a little underwhelming for this build, but good enough for now)
        – Storage: 4x Seagate Ironwolf Pro (Enterprise) 16TB (for now)
        – PSU: Corsair RM850x Gold (overkill, but got it for decent price)
        – Case: Jonesbo N5 (duh!)
        – CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Black Edition
        – Case fans: Noctua NF-A15 HS-PWM chromax.black and SAMA BL 3 in 1 ARGB fan kit (had these fans laying around)
        – USB Boot drive: Anker 2-in-1 USB 3.0 Portable Card Reader with SanDisk 32GB Ultra microSDHC UHS-I Memory Card (planning to run unRAID, and the GUI is assigned to the card reader, so I can remove the microsd and make copies of it)
        – External Hard drives for additional backup for sensitive files: – 2x 14TB Seagate Expansion STKP1400400 and 2x 8TB WD External HDD (some will be offsite ideally)
        – I’m going to try to do this workaround I saw online where backblaze personal can be used to backup the NAS, instead of the more expensive B2.

        I wanted ECC, but mobos and ram were too expensive and I won’t be using ZFS files, so I hope/think regular memory is ok – considering unRAID works off parity instead of data stripping.

        Any feedback is appreciated 🙂

      52. I initially saw this review and figured it would be too big for my needs, but as I do more research on enclosures I’m quickly realizing that they all make compromises in the weirdest spots, so I’m quickly circling around back to this one because while yes, it is a bit large and I don’t need quite this many drives, it also doesn’t compromise in any of the areas I actually care about.

        Now to see if I can actually get hold of one.

      101. It’s quite amusing how ZimaCube apparently took “inspiration” from the Jonsbo N5 NAS case. The front panel resembles a doppelgänger, and don’t even get me started on the identical IO port placements and ventilation design. It’s like they ran out of creativity and decided to photocopy the blueprints. Mechanical layout? Practically a mirror image. If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, Jonsbo should feel immensely complimented.

      114. OK so… case is amazing, BUT two things:

        1. it’s a couple of cm too tall and wide to fit in a Kallax and that’s the greatest shame ever. Width could be solved by not installing one of the vertical separator, but height? that’s an hard one. It’s twice of a shame because the top half is way to big and could easily be an inch shorter!

        2. that 8 disk backplate looks amazing and I REALLY REALLY REALLY wish they would sell it standalone because it would be amazing for custom cases! I’m dabbling in 3d printing cases and finding decent backplate with good drive separation and with a low profile/holes to allow for a good workflow is next to impossible to a level where I’m contemplating sudying electronics to make one.

      115. Jonsbo try so hard to make perfect NAS case and always fail on the simple things. My main problem is with the backplanes. Why can’t they use a SFF format connector instead of the basic SATA. It could make the build much more cleaner, to use 3 SFF cables instead of 12 SATA cables. Also, why they have to combine so many MOLEX and SATA power connectors? Molex is dead, use just SATA. Three SATA connectors would be fine (two for the main 8 port backplane and one for 4 port backplane) instead of five. And the last major problem with the backplanes are their lack of perforation. The main 8 port part don’t have any. There is only about 1cm space on top of the drive bay which I doubt will be enough to cool (especially in the summer) if you have this case just laying in the house and not in cooled server room. The 4 port backplane have some perforation but it almost don’t have any access to the airflow because of the power supply right behind it. And I also don’t like the rubber used for the drive sleds. Rubber will disintegrate over time and become useless to pull the drives out of cage. But I understand that they used it to make the case cheaper.

      118. You always do a nice job on physical hardware reviews, but you almost always leave out one very critical piece of information: HDD operating temperatures. The design of this Jonsbo case does not come close to providing adequate “push or pull” airflow over ALL 12 dirve bays. It would be extremely helpful to know the HDD temps. Yes, it requires more effort, but it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

      120. If you try to look at the case as it self not bad, but if you try to put it in the world and compere what’s out there at this size and form factor its most efficient if you buy a rack-able case instead of putting this somewhere if you need a NAS this size you probably have networking and maybe a server or two then at that point you need a rack solution albeit small but none the less a rack solution.

      121. The case is almost ideal for a small general purpose server. I’d be tempted to use a second hand Supermicro mobo with lots of PCIe connectivity, Epyc or Xeon processor.

        SAS backplanes, as mentioned by others, along with SFF connectors. I’ve invested in a bunch of SAS HDDs.

        It *might* be possible to replace the SATA backplanes assuming Jonsbo use the roughly standard 80mm spacing. I don’t mind a bit of a bodge fit, metal part fabrication, 3d printed brackets.

      122. Yes! Or so I thought…
        I’ve been waiting for this case for the better part of half a year, once the rumors came out.
        It was so long in fact, that i decided to just repurpose my old pc case from 12 years ago and put a 5.25″ to 3.5″ cage/adapter into it for 15$. Now i get 12 HDD capacity for next to nothing.
        I thought it would be temporary, but seeing the price of N5 kills it for me, sorry.Yes, i get it, shipping 7.5KG is no joke, but not for x2 the price.

        It’s a kickass case, and everything i hoped it would be, but I’ll keep using my practically free bubba build for now.

        For me, Philips always easily round over, especially if over tightened and the hex socket screws are far less of a trouble. Sounds like you might need a solid allen key set that properly fits the screw head and your rounding issues should be far less common.

      138. I love that they don’t use trays and the drives just easily slide in to their slots. Less cost on developing the trays; simple is underrated tbh. Also, idgaf about numbering… Do you cable the drives to the mobo according to the numbers on the case? If the numbering is off, do you go back and shift the back end cabling to adjust for the offset? I don’t fuggin change that sheit. If a drive fails you’ll know it and hear it. If you can’t immediately locate it, takes 2 mins to find it. Most times you know which drive it’s gonna be…

        Remove the four drive backplane. Would a 4-6-8 etc ICYDock type enclousure for SSDs fit in that space? As there are already cables all over the place. A few more would not hurt. SSDs connection to an HBA with SAS SFF-8643 or SFF-8639 connectors to keep the cables in check upstairs.

      151. I believe that this case has too many air vents. The air flow will be chaotic. As the air can be drawn in from anywhere. Covering the top and side vents of the mobo part may help thermals and noise. looking at the HDD lower part. As the vents are at the sides, near the fans. I presume that most of the air will be drawn in via these vents, and out via the fans. If so, this bypasses most the HDDs cooling. It also looks like only the risen heat from the HDDs will be removed. Once the heat rises above the solid backplane. So there is little direct flow of air across the drives, front to back.

        Talk about Spagetti Junction with the cabling situation.
        The backplanes are likely just reused from previous 4 and 8 bay cases. Which is why there are two separate backplanes with incorrect numbering.

      156. How loud is this compared to a rack-mounted ‘NAS case’ or rack server with 12 or 16 HDD bays? I’ve been steering away from rack-mounted homelab specifically because of noise, but if noise will be a factor anyway even in (slightly) more traditional home-friendly chasses, maybe there’s no point to avoiding getting a rack.

      157. All I know is we are into October and still no news from synology on anything… if we don’t get a notice by Nov 1st I guarantee there won’t be any releaes this year. They wouldn’t miss black friday for a new release.

      161. Totally disagree with hex screw opinion. Hex screw heads are superior to phillipshead in every way. If Jonsbo had used Phillipsheadscrews, these would have been much bigger. But size and head forms are two different topics.

      167. This is way deeper than it needs to be, they could have orientated the PSU so the back of the PSU faced one of the sides, they could have reduced depth, given more flexibility, and still support E-ATX/EBB.

      182. Can’t wait to see a build example with a regular ATX mobo with more expansion possibilities. The case is looking nice, but man it sounds cheap. It desperately need some case coating to damping that thin metal without ruining the airflow. I could definetly see a reason for people that don’t plan on going higher than 8 HDD’s to start with to just remove the 4bay slot and use the space for hiding cables.

      184. While I’ve been enjoying the Jonsbo case content i feel the need to address the handles. those mounts are specifically meant for mechanical drives, as you are using in the video here, to absorb the vibration of the drive. This isn’t a new idea though Jonsbo is the first I’ve seen approach it in this manner. My current “enthusiast” case is a Lanboy Air in which Antec tried to absorb that vibration using a a rubberized suspension system. The case is old and all of my rubber suspenders have failed years ago, which is my only concern here with Jonsbo. What will this solution perform and handle like once the rubber has gotten stiff and brittle? How much vibration will they contain at that point if any?

      190. I’m a NAS n00b but satisfied I went with a different case instead of waiting for Jonabo to start shipping the N5.

        Ended up building with a Thermaltake Core V21: m ATX mobo, ATX PSU, full height tower cooler, room for full size GPUs, 3 x 3.5”, 3 x 2.5” drives, room for seven 140mm fans. Still fussing with software but it should serve my needs for a few years.

      195. My first take on this is the drive configuration 3 rows of 4 drives would I thought been a cleaner design and the rubber handles mmmm ,what is the chances they are going to deteriorate and snap over time?

      196. Haha loved the intro to this. Good balanced review! I ended up using ironwolf pro drives in mine and noticed I did not need any of the fans so just have them disabled. The N100 board I’m using, while comically small, also sips power and doesn’t require much cooling. So overall surprisingly quiet, just a little hum. The perfect NAS for me…and really almost anyone. So much flexibility! It’s just a chonky boy though and hard to fit in entertainment centers and other common places for a NAS.

      197. Awesome review, glad I’ve waited for it before making a decision to build my first nas system. Almost all “negatives” points about the case don’t bother me at all, however the only two point that concern me are noise and powerefficiency (hence why I’m using my noctua fans). I’m planning to upgrade it over the years into a gaming nas with a dedicated gpu, 10gbit network — but also for data hoarding and my family cloud solution.

        Would you recommend using this particular case for this usecase or is that just absolute overkill? Also how does it compare to the fractal design 804?

        Thank you again for that great in depth view!

      209. 10:40 All of those slots in the side of this case for what is a primarily front-to-back cooling design** will reduce the static pressure and airflow performance of all the rear fans, consequently this will also serve to increase the percieved airflow noise because air is being sucked in through the sides instead of only through the front.

        **I do understand that the PSU area has slots in the side for air supply for ATX PSU’s with their large itegral fan, but the rest of the case does not need slots in the sides.

        An interesting noise and cooling performance test would be blocking/covering those side slots and recording the differences in temp and dB.

      213. Took them 5 times to finally get……most things right, but as you mentioned, oh how they love about their terrible tray design, and support 12 trays but only using SATA ports with that poor backboard, really Jonsbo, it would kill you to build a better tray and using some SFF-8643 and SFF-8639 ports?

      220. Waiting for this and one minute after release I knew I wouldn’t be first ????
        You should have shaved at the beginning of that first bit and ended that with the beard grown back. Clearly a small sacrifice for the Art ????
