Innuos Zen Mini S

Faster And Quiter Than Ever

We have improved the performance of the Zen Mini by adding an an SSD option, replacing the hard drive with a quiet, lightning-quick Solid-State Drive (SSD). ZENmini S also upgrades the RAM from 4GB to 8GB for additional performance benefits when searching for music or copying files. It even has a power-loss protection protection circuit so if you lose your power, you don’t lose your music. Owners of ZENmini Mk2 and Mk3 will be able to upgrade to ZENmini S in early 2023.

SSD options include 1TB, 2TB or 4TB capacities. ZENmini S upgrades will be available in early 2023 for owners of the ZENmini Mk2 and ZENmini Mk3.
