Workstation-Grade Component Support
The CS383 goes beyond a traditional NAS chassis by accommodating up to SSI-EEB motherboards, eight PCI expansion slots, and dual power supplies. This bridges the gap between NAS and workstation/server applications, enabling the use of high-performance workstation components while retaining full NAS functionality.
Exceptional Cooling Performance
The top of the chassis supports liquid cooling radiators up to 420mm, ensuring outstanding CPU thermal management—ideal for NAS or storage-centric systems under heavy workloads.
Massive Storage Potential
Beyond its eight hot-swappable bays, the CS383 offers an additional 4 internal drive mounts, significantly expanding its overall storage capacity for demanding applications.
