- Beelink ME Pro supports up to 84TB by combining hard drives and solid-state storage
- The system allows users to easily change CPUs, memory and motherboards
- Two-bay and four-bay configurations keep the NAS compact while providing high storage space
Beelink has expanded its hardware lineup with ME Pro, a modular storage system that marks a shift away from its previous compact computing products.
This device is a portable NAS targeted at users who want higher storage density without moving to traditional rack-mounted systems.
The Beelink ME Pro comes with Intel N-Series processors, including the N95 based on Alder Lake-N and the newer N150 from the Twin Lake family.
Modular design and platform flexibility
The company said it plans to launch additional models, with future options expected to include advanced Intel chips along with boards using AMD or Arm-based silicon.
Instead of locking buyers into 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 pull-out tray at the bottom of the chassis, which houses the motherboard along with the CPU, memory, storage, cooling components and wireless hardware.
This approach lets users adjust performance over time, whether they prioritize processing throughput or focus on lower power consumption.
Beelink also said that different boards could change storage layouts, with some versions offering two M.2 slots and others supporting three, depending on the intended use.
The ME Pro supports either two or four 3.5-inch hard drives, with both versions designed to remain relatively compact compared to conventional storage devices.
The two-compartment configuration measures 166 x 121 x 112 mm, while the four-compartment model increases in size to 166 x 166 x 146 mm.
In maximum configurations, the system can reportedly support two 30TB hard drives along with three 8TB solid-state drives, bringing the total capacity to 84TB.
Connectivity options include both 5GbE and 2.5GbE Ethernet ports, multiple USB interfaces, HDMI output and a standard DC power input.
These specifications point to a device built for mixed workloads that acts like 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 from $449.
The concept of a small, upgradeable storage system that blends elements of a mini PC with a flexible NAS is appealing, although its success depends on real-world performance and usability.
The device is now on sale through Beelink’s official store and ships globally.
