The sonicTransporter i5 is Small Green Computer's solution for stable and maintenance-free streaming of your digital music collection. Built with an Intel i5 processor and a high-speed SSD, this server is perfect for lightning-fast access to your music.

Without any moving parts, the sonicTransporter i5 is both fan-less and noiseless. No keyboard or monitor is needed for this plug-and-play music server, which acts like a NAS to house your music and other files.
