The Beelink ME Pro is here, and it’s bringing a massive storage ceiling to a surprisingly compact NAS. With a sleek unibody chassis and support for both SSDs and HDDs, this unit delivers serious capacity in a small footprint.
Beelink ME Pro supports hybrid storage setup
Unlike its earlier ME Mini sibling, the Beelink ME Pro allows for a broader mix of drives. The design includes three M.2 2280 SSD slots along with two bays for full-size 3.5-inch hard drives. Together, the configuration can reach a maximum of 72 TB enough for prosumers, media libraries, or backup-heavy workflows.
By comparison, the original ME Mini topped out at 24 TB, relying on SSDs alone. This expanded setup adds more flexibility without taking up significantly more space.
Beelink ME Pro runs on Intel N95 processor
Inside, the NAS runs on Intel’s Processor N95, part of the Twin Lake family. It offers four cores, four threads, and peaks at 3.4 GHz. Although not a powerhouse CPU, it’s sufficient for file management, backups, and streaming from your storage array.
The chip also provides PCIe 3.0 support, giving the SSDs faster bandwidth than previous-generation setups. Still, users looking for heavy multitasking or media transcoding may find the processor limiting.
Beelink ME Pro includes strong I/O for a NAS
The ME Pro may be compact, but it packs plenty of ports. You’ll find:
- 1 × USB Type-A (10 Gbps, front)
- 2 × USB Type-A (rear)
- 1 × USB Type-C
- 1 × HDMI (4K @ 60 Hz)
- 1 × 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet
- 1 × 5 Gigabit Ethernet
That 5 Gbps port stands out, offering significantly faster transfers than typical NAS boxes in this price range.
Beelink ME Pro starts under $300 in China
Pricing for the ME Pro begins at CNY 1,848 (around $262 USD), with a higher tier offering 128 GB internal storage for about $284. Both variants ship with 12 GB of RAM and a 120 W external power supply.
Beelink has hinted at a global release, but there’s no confirmed pricing or date outside China just yet.
A NAS that breaks the mold
The Beelink ME Pro doesn’t just aim for capacity; it wraps high-speed ports, hybrid drive options, and quiet power into a sleek form factor. Whether it becomes a global hit may depend on when and where it ships next.
