Built upon the foundation of the Orico HS series, they have announced the newly upgraded Orico MetaBox Series, a next-generation private cloud NAS lineup.
Designed for families, individual users, and professional NAS users, the MetaBox Series addresses the growing challenges of fragmented data, storage anxiety, and cloud dependency by delivering
a secure, intelligent, and scalable private cloud experience.
A Meaningful Upgrade – From Hardware to System Architecture
The new MetaBox Series is not a minor refresh, but a full-generation upgrade focused on long-term usability, performance, and data security.
Expanded Storage with NVMe SSD Support
In addition to traditional SATA drive bays, the upgraded MetaBox Series now supports two M.2 NVMe SSD slots (up to 8TB each), enabling faster caching, accelerated data access, and
expanded total capacity of up to 126TB (configuration dependent). This ensures smoother performance for large files, media libraries, and multi-user workloads.
More Powerful Hardware Foundation
Powered by an Intel processor with 4 cores and 4 threads, the MetaBox Series delivers efficient multitasking for backup, media processing, and collaborative workflows.
The system is equipped with 8GB DDR4 memory by default, featuring dual memory slots expandable up to 32GB, providing the flexibility required for advanced applications and
long-term use.
CyberData OS – A Self-Developed Private Cloud System
At the core of the MetaBox Series is CyberData OS, ORICO’s fully self-developed operating system designed specifically for private cloud storage.
- Integrated with the ZFS next-generation file system, offering data integrity verification, compression, snapshot management, and advanced reliability features
- Local account system that operates independently of third-party servers, allowing access even without an active internet connection
- Intelligent data management with AI-assisted photo organisation, semantic search, and smart file classification
- Support for Docker applications, multi-space permission management, and flexible user access control
CyberData OS transforms the MetaBox Series from a traditional NAS into a long-term digital infrastructure for personal and shared data.
Designed for Real-Life Scenarios
The MetaBox Series is built around real user needs:
- Unified backup and management for data generated across phones, computers, and multiple operating systems
- Secure family sharing, private albums, and centralized media libraries without quality loss or privacy risks
- Remote access and collaboration for professionals working across locations or borders
- Fast local access without relying on an active internet connection
Whether used at home or in professional environments, MetaBox offers a private alternative to public cloud services—without subscriptions or platform lock-in.
