Compact pro mini-PC

The ASUS NUC 16 Pro NUC16GDKU7 is a barebone mini-PC powered by an Intel Core Ultra 7 356H processor with 32GB of DDR5-5600 memory and a 2TB NVMe SSD already installed. Integrated Intel Graphics handle display output through two HDMI 2.1 ports and two Thunderbolt 4 connections. Dual 2.5Gb Ethernet, Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6.0 provide wired and wireless networking. A VESA mount is included for behind-monitor placement.

Suited for office and light creative work

This unit suits users who need a quiet, space-saving system with fast storage and modern connectivity out of the box. Buyers who want more storage than the single 2TB drive or who need discrete graphics performance for rendering or gaming should look at other form factors. The two SO-DIMM slots allow memory upgrades, but the integrated GPU cannot be changed.

Storage expansion via dual M.2 slots

One M.2 2280 slot supports PCIe Gen5 x4 NVMe SSDs from 128GB to 8TB, and one M.2 2242 slot supports PCIe Gen4 x4 NVMe SSDs in the same capacity range. This layout lets you add a second high-speed drive or replace the boot drive without sacrificing the compact chassis.

Questions about this item

Will the Core Ultra 7 356H and dual 2.5Gb Ethernet ports saturate my existing 1Gb switch?

The dual Intel I226-V 2.5GbE ports run at 2.5Gbps, so a 1Gb switch will be the bottleneck; upgrade to 2.5GbE switching to use full speed.

How do I confirm the pre-installed 32GB DDR5 5600 and 2TB NVMe are detected correctly?

Enter BIOS at boot and verify memory shows 32GB DDR5 5600 on both SO-DIMM slots and storage lists the 2TB NVMe on the M.2 2280 Gen5x4 slot.

Does the box include a VESA bracket and are extra DDR5 SO-DIMMs or M.2 drives needed?

VESA mount is included; 32GB DDR5 5600 and 2TB NVMe are pre-installed, and the second SO-DIMM slot plus M.2 2242 Gen4x4 slot remain free for expansion.
