ORICO CF1000, The Fastest 3.5” NAS I’ve Tested?

Published at : 23 Dec 2025

Today we’re taking a deep dive into ORICO’s first high-performance NAS, the CyberData CF1000. With a 12-core Intel i5 CPU, dual 10GbE networking, DDR5 RAM, and support for up to 256TB of storage, this beast is built for creators, power users, and small teams. I walk through the hardware, setup, CyberData OS, and performance testing over a 10GbE connection.
