Beelink has officially unveiled its newest network-attached storage (NAS) solution after hinting at its arrival earlier this month. Known mainly for their mini-PCs, Beelink also rolled out the ME mini NAS earlier this year, which is currently priced at $359 on Amazon. The ME Mini is equipped with either an Intel Processor N95 or Processor N150, offering six M.2 2280 slots that can accommodate up to 24 TB of storage.
A Step Up in Capacity
In contrast, the latest ME Pro model can support a whopping 72 TB, thanks to its three M.2 2280 SSD slots and two 3.5-inch HDD slots. However, it’s worth noting that the ME Pro is limited to using only the Processor N95, a Twin Lake architecture processor designed with 4 cores, 4 threads, and a peak clock speed of 3.4 GHz. The Processor N95 also guarantees that the ME Pro provides PCIe 3.0 bandwidth to its SSDs, which is a nice feature.
Specifications and Features
Beelink’s new NAS comes with a single configuration of 12 GB of RAM and a 120 W external power supply. As illustrated in the images below, the ME Pro features a front-mounted USB Type-A (10 Gbps) port, along with two rear-mounted Type-A ports, one Type-C port, and a full-sized HDMI port that can output at 4K and 60 Hz, making it quite versatile.
Additionally, Beelink enhances connectivity by providing a single 2.5 Gigabit port in tandem with a faster 5 Gigabit option. The pricing for the ME Pro begins at CNY 1,848 (~$262) and goes up to CNY 1,999 (~$284) for the version with 128 GB of built-in storage. Although Beelink has suggested that it will be available globally, it has yet to confirm pricing or an official release date outside of China.
