Earlier this year, reports surfaced that Xiaomi was working on its first NAS product, marking a new direction for the company. Interestingly, the idea wasn’t part of Xiaomi’s original roadmap. It reportedly began when a marketing image for one of the brand’s 10G routers unintentionally resembled a NAS setup. The visual sparked widespread speculation and community feedback, eventually convincing Xiaomi to explore the concept seriously.
Fast forward to now, the product appears close to launch if recent leaks are to be believed. Tipster Smart Pikachu on Weibo claims that the Xiaomi NAS will support both 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch SATA hard drives. It is said to be compatible with Android, iOS, Windows, macOS, and Linux TV systems, and is designed for simple household use, similar to Huawei’s approach. Its launch timeline reportedly aligns with the Xiaomi 17 Ultra.
There are also some leaked images circulating on Weibo. One image shows the actual device from the side, though it doesn’t reveal much about the design. Another appears to be the spec sheet printed on the product’s packaging, listing details such as dimensions of 200.5 × 85 × 16 mm along with USB 3.0, HDMI, and a 2.5 Gbps Ethernet port.
Xiaomi Ecosystem General Manager Chen Bo previously outlined the company’s vision for the device. He described it as a smart storage hub for Mi Home ecosystem users. It will connect seamlessly with Xiaomi phones, TVs, tablets, and PCs, enabling mobile storage expansion, AI-powered photo album organization, movie scraping for poster-wall-style libraries, cloud access, and remote downloads.
Xiaomi reportedly completed mass production and internal testing in early October 2025. Chen Bo confirmed that the product will go public before the end of 2025. Unlike enthusiast-grade NAS systems, Xiaomi’s model aims to deliver a plug-and-play experience for everyday users. The company also plans to enhance compatibility with Apple devices and promote NAS adoption by deepening its integration with its broader smart ecosystem.
