The SecureNAS® CX-6KNVMe is a rugged, portable, encrypted NVMe server designed for mission-critical environments where security, performance, and operational flexibility are essential. Built in the USA and certified by a U.S. military-approved environmental testing lab, the CX-6KNVMe delivers high-performance NVMe storage, FIPS 140-2 Level 3 hardware encryption, and advanced edge-compute capabilities in a compact, field-deployable form factor.

The CX-6KNVMe builds upon the proven SecureNAS® Linux-based architecture, expanding platform capabilities with NVMe acceleration, containerization, virtualization, GPU readiness, and Direct-Attach Storage (DAS) via USB-C, while maintaining the same SecureNAS® security model, workflows, and operational trust relied upon by government, defense, healthcare, and forensic organizations.

All SecureNAS® platforms are built on a hardened Linux foundation with OpenZFS at the core, ensuring continuity, long-term support, and operational familiarity across generations.

  • Dual internal SSDs for fail-safe OS redundancy
Performance SPECS

Configuration: 6× enterprise NVMe SSDs, performance-optimized layout, DDR5 memory, 20-core Intel® Core™ Ultra 7 P-265, dual 10GbE networking.

Local NVMe Storage
(not network-limited)
Sequential Read: up to 16–22 GB/s
Sequential Write: up to 12–18 GB/s
Random Read (4K): up to 1.2–2.0 million IOPS
Random Write (4K): up to 500K–1.2 million IOPS
Network Performance
Single 10GbE client: up to 900–1,050 MB/s
Dual 10GbE aggregate: up to 1.8–2.1 GB/s (multi-client workloads)

Performance estimates reflect best-case configurations with all NVMe bays populated. Actual results may vary based on drive model, RAID level, compression, workload, memory capacity, and security settings.
