Beelink ME Pro 2-Bay NAS Mini PC review

The ME Pro is a two-bay mini PC aimed at home NAS use, released in January 2026. The specifications here describe the Intel N150: four cores, four threads, up to 3.6 GHz turbo and 24 EU Intel UHD graphics. It ships with Windows 11 Home pre-installed, and the research lists no other operating system.

The two SATA bays take 2.5 or 3.5 inch drives. The research lists any SATA 2.5 or 3.5 inch drive and SATA SSDs as supported. It gives no maximum drive size for the bays.

The M.2 side is the more distinctive part. There are three M.2 2280 NVMe slots, and each supports up to 4TB. One runs at PCIe 3.0 x2 and two run at PCIe 3.0 x1. Because the slots differ in bandwidth, the x2 slot is the sensible home for whichever drive gets the heaviest use. Owners name the three M.2 slots as a main advantage. With only two bays, bulk spinning-disk capacity is limited, so the M.2 slots do much of the work of expanding storage.

The ME Pro has dual wired ports: 5GbE and 2.5GbE. It also has WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.4. The research doesn't say whether the two ports can be combined or how the 5GbE port behaves with different switches, so check those details with Beelink if they matter to you.

The 16GB of LPDDR5 runs at 4800 MHz. It is soldered to the board and cannot be upgraded, and owners raise this as a drawback. With 16GB fixed, the machine suits containers and a handful of services more than several memory-hungry VMs. Whatever you buy is what you keep.

The listed TDP is 6W, and the BIOS can tune it to a 25W maximum. Owners report quiet operation and low power use. They also report concerns about the power supply and idle draw, so the power story is mixed in their feedback. The research does not give idle wattage figures.

The N150 has 24 EU Intel UHD graphics. The research doesn't list supported codecs or Quick Sync details, so check Beelink's documentation if hardware transcoding is a deciding factor.

Windows 11 Home is pre-installed. Owners list this as a theme, and not in uniformly positive terms. There is no NAS-specific operating system in the research, so features such as storage pooling or app stores are not described. Owners also report boot and BIOS issues. A Beelink community thread covers three beeps on startup with the N150. The research doesn't give a cause or a fix, so treat it as something to look into before buying.

On the positive side, owners describe good build quality and a compact size.

The ME Pro suits someone who is comfortable running Windows on a small server and wants fast wired networking plus flexible NVMe storage. The fixed 16GB of RAM and the reported boot and power concerns count against it for anyone who wants a set-and-forget appliance or room to grow memory later.
