Native NVMe, WiFi-to-NVMe and Dual 2.5-Inch SATA Storage

The MBX-AD12 platform combines one native high-speed NVMe path with an additional storage expansion option through the M.2 WiFi interface, plus two SATA connections for 2.5-inch drives.

1 × Native M.2 NVMe M.2 2280 NVMe storage with a PCIe 3.0 x4 connection.
1 × WiFi-to-NVMe The M.2 WiFi interface can be converted through the corresponding adapter to provide an additional PCIe 3.0 x1 NVMe storage path.
2 × 2.5-Inch SATA Two SATA 3.0 connections support simultaneous installation of two 2.5-inch SATA SSDs or HDDs.

The M.2 WiFi interface and the second NVMe configuration are mutually exclusive. When the slot is converted for the additional NVMe SSD, it cannot simultaneously be used for WiFi.

Fanless Passive Cooling with Copper-Alloy Heat Conduction

F17 uses a fanless passive thermal design. Internal copper-alloy heat-conduction components, a heat pipe and the aluminum enclosure work together to transfer processor heat away from the motherboard without requiring a CPU cooling fan.

The passive cooling structure reduces moving parts and operating noise, making F17 suitable for network appliances and installations where quiet continuous operation is preferred.
