HONG KONG – May 21, 2015 – ZOTAC International, a global innovator and
manufacturer of graphics card and mini PCs, today puts the limelight on the brand
new R Series, the new member of the ZBOX mini PC family. This is the small form
factor solution that is more than a personal PC with its storage solution and
functionalities while providing the same power efficiency and space saving features
that users expect from ZBOX.
“This is certainly a breakthrough for both the mini PC and personal computing,”
explains Tony Wong, CEO, ZOTAC International. “We are adding more functions to
elevate the mini PC to a whole new plane while keeping our signature space saving
design and power efficiency. This new addition to the mini PC family will open new
doors to even more functionalities.”
The R Series
We are pleased to introduce the ZBOX RI323 and ZBOX RI531 series as they make
their debut. One of the main features is the ability to combine two HDD/SSD storage
devices into a RAID 0 or RAID 1 configuration. As both ZBOXs come natively
equipped with two storage slots, users will be able to fully utilize their storage
devices and create a logical drive that either improves the read/write speed, or one
that provides redundancy to protect sensitive data.
The R Series also supports non-RAID configuration, providing support to drives of
various sizes. This allow users to use existing drives without the additional cost of
purchasing two drives of the same storage size. Using the JBOD configuration,
differently-sized drives could be organized into one logical unit, akin to simple
addition. The R Series is the mini PC that provides the perfect storage solution for
many home and office users.
Do more with R
While both RI323 series and RI531 series are suited for home and office use, they
are also designed with commercial and industrial purposes in mind. Equipped with a
COM port, this enables the unit to be embedded into a vast array of machinery and
electronic devices and act as a controller and data transfer device. Applications
include digital signage, entertainment, and kiosk controllers. The R Series has the
capacity to do more.
RI323 harnesses the utility of two storage devices with an Intel processor, 802.11ac
Wi-Fi and dual gigabit LAN connection to provide immense storage capacity and
blazing fast network connections. RI531 provides the user with greater functionality
with two storage devices and one mSATA SSD slot for up to three storage solutions.
This enables more options, and coupled with an Intel 5th Gen Core i3 processor, Intel
HD Graphics 5500, 802.11ac Wi-Fi and dual gigabit LAN connection, there is so
much more the mini PC could do.
