- Youyeetoo NestDisk has four M.2 slots, three of which use PCIe 3.0 x2 and one supports SATA3
- Interface bandwidth limits prevent high-end SSDs from reaching full speed
- SSD thickness of 7mm is recommended for physical compatibility
The Youyeetoo NestDisk is a compact mini PC built around four internal M.2 2280 slots, all intended for solid-state storage.
Three of these slots rely solely on PCIe 3.0 x2 links, while the fourth also accepts SATA3 drives.
These interfaces offer limited bandwidth, so high-end SSDs will not reach their theoretical performance ceilings.
Interface bandwidth puts practical limits on SSD performance
The device limits raw performance through its connections rather than the storage itself.
Youyeetoo also recommends using SSDs with a thickness of 7mm, citing compatibility reasons related to the case dimensions.
This recommendation implicitly limits drive selection and points to tight internal tolerances.
The NestDisk mini PC uses an Intel N150 processor paired with 12GB of DDR5 memory.
This entry-level CPU targets low-power server workloads rather than compute-intensive tasks.
On the software side, the system comes with OpenMediaVault installed on internal eMMC storage, enabling immediate use as a NAS device.
The operating system prioritizes storage management, network sharing and plugin-based extensibility.
Although users can replace the pre-installed software, the default configuration clearly reflects a storage-focused role rather than general desktop use.
For connectivity, the device provides network access through two 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet ports powered by Intel i226-V controllers.
Wireless connectivity includes Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2, while physical I/O consists of three USB 3.2 Type-A ports and one USB 3.0 Type-C port.
The device also includes another USB 3.0 Type-C port that supports DisplayPort output and power delivery.
Additional interfaces include two HDMI outputs and a 3.5mm combo audio jack.
An active 3cm internal fan handles cooling and the company markets it as silent, a claim that is still questionable given the size of the fan.
The company also offers an optional second USB-powered fan to help with heat dissipation during sustained operation.
The basic model of the Youyeetoo NestDisk, which offers 12 GB of DDR5 memory and 64 GB of eMMC storage, starts at €178 excluding VAT and shipping.
A version bundled with a basic 512GB NVMe SSD costs €195, while the 1TB SSD configuration costs €212, again excluding VAT and shipping.
Transport adds €13, with an extra €8 service charge, bringing the pre-tax total for the base model to €201.30. Adding at least 20% VAT brings the total to approximately €241.
The company does not specify import handling fees, which are likely to add between €15 and €30 depending on the carrier.
The company handles shipping through services such as DHL, FedEx, UPS, EMS and Hong Kong Post, with payments processed through PayPal.
