Jonsbo N3 NAS Mini-ITX Black Case

Jonsbo N3 is a compact NAS / Mini-ITX case aimed at people who want a small but serious storage center at home or in the office. The form factor is Mini Tower with a Mini ITX motherboard, allowing you to fit the entire machine into a very small volume without sacrificing disk space. You get a total of 8 x 3.5" and 1 x 2.5" slots – a serious base for RAID arrays and backups. The black color and the non-windowed panel make it unobtrusive and suitable for both office environments and home.

What you get

The big plus of the Jonsbo N3 is precisely the disk slots – with up to eight 3.5" drives, you can build a serious NAS or file server with many terabytes of useful space. The additional 2.5" slot is convenient for a system SSD, so the operating system and services run quickly and separately from the data array. Support for SFX power supply with a bottom placement gives you the option for a quality PSU in a compact form without blocking airflow from the front. The limit for a cooler of 130 mm and max. length of the graphics card 250 mm guide you towards more efficient, not oversized components – ideal for NAS, home lab, or a light media PC. The I/O panel with USB 3.0, USB-C, and HD Audio makes connecting external drives and headphones easy, without having to dig behind the motherboard.

• Case with Mini Tower form factor for Mini ITX motherboards – a compact solution for NAS or small server.
• Total of 8 x 3.5" slots for hard drives plus 1 x 2.5" for SSD, allowing for large storage capacity in a small chassis.
• Non-windowed panel, focused on practicality and discreet appearance, suitable for office environments.
• Support for SFX power supply with bottom placement, freeing up space for drives and improving overall layout.
• Maximum height for CPU cooler 130 mm, directing towards lower air or compact cooling solutions.
• Maximum length for graphics card 250 mm, sufficient for shorter GPUs if you want a graphics accelerator in a NAS / home server build.
• Front I/O ports: 1 x USB 3.0, 1 x USB-C, and 1 x HD Audio for convenient access to fast transfer and audio devices.

Who it is suitable for

Jonsbo N3 is a very good choice if you want a home NAS, media server, backup machine, or small file server with many drives and a small physical footprint. It is also suitable for home lab / testing environments where you need many drives and a Mini ITX board. It is not particularly suitable if you are aiming for a high-end gaming build with a massive air cooler and a large graphics card.

The combination of Mini ITX format, a huge number of 3.5" slots, and SFX power supply makes Jonsbo N3 a quite sensible base for serious storage in a small case. If you prioritize disk space over RGB and windows, this chassis fits exactly such a concept.
