Beelink launches the compact ME Pro NAS, featuring massive storage, modular boards, and flexibility rivaling traditional mini PC setups.
- Beelink ME Pro supports up to 84TB by combining hard drives and SSD storage
- The system allows users to easily swap processors, memory and motherboards.
- Two- and four-bay configurations keep the NAS compact while providing high storage
Beelink has expanded its hardware lineup with the ME Pro, a modular storage system that marks a departure from its previous compact computing products.
This device is a portable NAS that targets users who want higher storage density without upgrading to traditional rack-mounted systems.
The Beelink ME Pro comes with Intel N-Series processors, including the Alder Lake-N-based N95 and the newer N150 from the Twin Lake family.
Modular design and platform flexibility
The company has announced plans to release additional models, with future options expected to include high-end Intel chips as well as cards using AMD or Arm silicon.
Rather than confining buyers to a single platform, the system uses a removable motherboard that users can swap out without replacing the entire case.
The modular design relies on a sliding drawer at the base of the chassis, which houses the motherboard as well as the processor, memory, storage, cooling components, and wireless hardware.
This approach allows users to adjust performance over time, whether they prioritize processing throughput or focus on lower power consumption.
Beelink also said that different cards could change the storage configuration, with some versions offering two M.2 slots and others supporting three, depending on the intended use case.
The ME Pro supports two or four 3.5-inch hard drives, with both versions designed to remain relatively compact compared to conventional storage devices.
The two-bay configuration measures 166 x 121 x 112mm, while the four-bay model increases in size to 166 x 166 x 146mm.
In maximum configurations, the system can support two 30TB hard drives as well as three 8TB SSDs, bringing the total capacity to 84TB.
Connectivity options include 5GbE and 2.5GbE Ethernet ports, multiple USB interfaces, HDMI output, and standard DC power input.
These specifications point to a device designed for mixed workloads, functioning as a NAS while retaining features commonly found in compact desktop systems.
With a starting price of $369, the Beelink ME Pro enters the market below comparable devices such as the Terramaster F8 SSD Plus NAS, which starts at $639, and the Aiffro K100 All-SSD NAS, priced at $449.
The concept of a small, scalable storage system combining elements of a mini PC with a flexible NAS is appealing, although its success will depend on real-world performance and usability.
The device is now on sale on the official Beelink store and ships worldwide.
