# Helios64 Introduction.

Helios64 is a powerful ARM board specially designed for Network Attached Storage (NAS). It harnesses its processing capabilities from the **Rockchip RK3399(K) SoC**.

![Helios64](/helios64/img/intro/helios64.png)

Helios64 is our latest design for the ultimate ARM powered NAS. Compared to [Helios4](/helios4/intro), it offers improvement on everything single key aspects :

* More storage capacity with 5x SATA ports,
* Greater network throughput with Multi-Gigabit Ethernet (2.5 GbE),
* Faster and Larger Memory with 4GB LPDDR4,
* More functionalities with Display Port and DAS modes support,
* Reinforced reliability with Built-in UPS.
