Is NAS Dead in 2026? (RAID Room)

NASCompares just covered the state of the NAS market in 2026, and the shift in hardware options is wild. The video looks at a wide variety of devices, ranging from the AOOSTAR WTR MAX with its AMD R7 8845HS processor and five M.2 slots to the LincStation N2, which packs an Intel N100 chip into a 6-bay setup. It was interesting to see how different these units are, moving from the tiny Beelink N95 mini PC to the mobile-focused UnifyDrive UT2 and the Minisforum N5 Air. Whether you need something for a desktop setup or a more portable storage solution, the video lays out exactly what is currently available on the market.
