Orin NX box PCs with a 2.5-inch drive bay

Asked as: “Which Orin NX box PCs come with a 2.5-inch drive bay? We log a lot of video locally.”

Answered by the Rapidflare agent

Here are all the Jetson Orin NX box PCs in the catalog with a 2.5-inch drive bay — 5 products matched, each with exactly one 2.5-inch bay:

Notes relevant to heavy local video logging:

  • Every one of the five also has 128 GB of onboard storage as shipped, plus M.2 slots (3–4 on most models) if you want to add NVMe capacity alongside the 2.5-inch drive. advantech...advantech.com ↗“storage.onboard_storage_gb=128 GB”
  • For maximum spinning-disk capacity, the MIC-717-OX stands out as the only unit that adds a 3.5-inch bay on top of the 2.5-inch one. advantech...advantech.com ↗“storage.drive_bay_2_5in_count=1, storage.drive_bay_3_5in_count=1”
  • If your cameras connect over Ethernet, the BOXER-8658AI (8 PoE ports) and MIC-717-OX (8 PoE ports, 123.2 W PoE budget) offer the most camera connections per box. aaeon.com +1aaeon.com ↗“io.poe_port_count=8”advantech.com ↗“power.poe_total_budget_w=123.2 W”
  • Temperature ranges hold only under their stated conditions — for example, the BOXER units require airflow and depend on installed peripherals, and the MIC-717-OX's 0–50 °C range depends on installed peripherals, which a hot hard drive will affect. aaeon.comaaeon.com ↗“Requires airflow, Depends on installed peripherals”

All five are catalog-listed as Edge AI Box PCs built on the Jetson Orin NX family, and I found no other Orin NX box PCs in the catalog with a 2.5-inch bay.
