- The step-up unit: N100 CPU, 8 GB RAM, dual 2.5 GbE aggregation.
- Runs TieNiu OS 2.0 with RAID support, Docker, on-device AI and an offline-download engine — usable fully offline after activation.
- TieNiu's DFS dynamic backup mirrors important files to a second physical disk.
- For RAID / backup arrays, prefer CMR, NAS-class drives — check any drive's CMR/SMR status on our CMR vs SMR guide.
