Beelink has unveiled a new network-attached storage device for the Chinese market, the ME Pro NAS, built around AMD’s Ryzen 7 H 255 processor. This Hawk Point APU shares the same core configuration as the existing Ryzen 7 8745H and integrates Radeon 780M graphics, positioning the compact unit for both high-throughput storage tasks and media handling.
Internal storage and expansion layout
The system provides four M.2 slots for NVMe solid-state drives. Three of those slots operate at PCIe 4.0 x4 speeds, while the fourth runs at PCIe 4.0 x1, with each slot supporting drives up to 4 TB for a total of 16 TB of fast flash storage. Alongside the M.2 bays, the enclosure accommodates four SATA drive positions that accept both 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch disks. Beelink states that each of these upper bays can hold a drive as large as 30 TB, yielding a combined SATA capacity of up to 120 TB. Overall, the unit supports a maximum total storage capacity of 136 TB.
Connectivity and thermal performance
Networking is handled by a 2.5G Ethernet port joined by a faster 10G Ethernet port, a pairing designed to accelerate large file transfers and backup operations. Wireless connectivity comes via WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.4. Beelink also drew attention to the ME Pro’s cooling design, noting that under load the CPU temperature can be kept at approximately 41° Celsius (105.8° Fahrenheit), while the drives remain around 43° Celsius (109.4° Fahrenheit).

Pricing and availability
The AMD-powered ME Pro NAS launches in two configurations. A barebone version carrying only the Ryzen 7 H 255 is priced at CNY 2,739, roughly $403. A pre-built variant with 32 GB of RAM and a 500 GB drive starts at CNY 5,599, or approximately $824. Although this model has debuted in China, Beelink already sells other ME Pro NAS configurations internationally, and industry watchers expect the new AMD edition to reach markets outside China in the future.
