The Beelink ME mini packs six independent M.2 SSD slots — up to 24TB of storage — into a cube smaller than a tissue box, running on an efficient Intel N150 processor with dual 2.5GbE networking. It’s a purpose-built home NAS, not a repurposed mini PC with drive bays bolted on, and it’s designed for exactly the use case its name suggests: a family’s entire media and document library, always available, always backed up, without a rack-mount server humming in a closet.
Key Features
-
Six M.2 SSD Slots, Up to 24TB — Six independent M.2 2280 slots let you build out storage incrementally as your library grows, rather than committing to a full array on day one.
-
Intel N150 Processor — A modern, efficient quad-core chip (up to 3.6GHz) that’s more than capable of file serving, transcoding for streaming, and running multiple background services simultaneously.
-
Dedicated Fast Boot Slot — One of the six M.2 slots runs at PCIe 3.0 x2 as the primary OS/boot drive (the other five run at PCIe 3.0 x1), and units can ship with a pre-installed Crucial SSD in that slot for reliability out of the box.
-
Dual 2.5GbE Networking — Two 2.5Gbps Ethernet ports support link aggregation and soft-routing, giving you real throughput for simultaneous streaming and backup jobs across the household.
-
Whisper-Quiet Vertical Cooling — A vertical airflow design with a quiet fan keeps a cube this dense running cool without the drone of a traditional tower NAS.
-
Genuinely Compact Footprint — At roughly the size of a large coffee mug, the ME mini disappears into a living room or home office rather than dominating a shelf.
-
Multi-OS Media Compatibility — Works well as a media server for KODI, Plex, Jellyfin, and Emby, and is compatible with alternative NAS and virtualization platforms like TrueNAS, Unraid, and Proxmox for anyone who wants to build their own software stack.
A Family’s Entire Media Library, In One Palm-Sized Box
Six M.2 slots at up to 4TB each is a genuinely unusual amount of flexible, expandable storage for a device this size — roughly enough room for thousands of movies, hundreds of thousands of photos, or a household’s complete backup archive, all on fast NVMe storage rather than slower spinning disks. Because each slot is independent, you don’t need to buy six drives on day one; start with one or two and add more as your library (or your family) grows.
The dedicated fast boot slot is a smart piece of engineering: rather than treating all six slots identically, Beelink routes the primary OS drive through the higher-bandwidth PCIe 3.0 x2 lane, so the system itself stays responsive even while the other five slots are busy serving files to multiple devices. Paired with dual 2.5GbE ports supporting link aggregation, the ME mini can comfortably stream 4K video to several rooms simultaneously while a backup job runs in the background — without everything grinding to a crawl.
It ships running Windows, which means setup is as simple as any other PC — no proprietary NAS interface to learn, and full compatibility with everyday Windows file sharing, media server software, and remote access tools. For families archiving photos and videos, cutting the cord with a personal Plex or Jellyfin server, or anyone who just wants a quiet, always-on box that holds “everything” without renting cloud storage space, the ME mini is built for that job specifically. Every unit ships from our UK warehouse with 1–3 day processing, and orders over $199 qualify for free shipping.
