Beelink ME Pro NAS Mini PC Launches with AMD Ryzen H255 for $403

Beelink released the ME Pro, a compact network storage device that targets users who need high-capacity data storage in a small footprint. The system uses a drawer-style chassis that lets buyers swap the mainboard between and platforms. This flexibility matters to home lab enthusiasts who want to upgrade or repair their storage servers without replacing the entire case. The design prioritizes modularity and ease of access for internal components.

Modular drawer design supports up to 136TB storage and dual 10GbE ports

The core of the ME Pro is an AMD R7 H255 processor with eight cores and sixteen threads. Beelink built the unit around a DIY drawer architecture that exposes the motherboard and drive bays for straightforward maintenance. The company positions this as a versatile mini PC that functions primarily as a network-attached storage server. The form factor measures 165 by 145 by 165 millimeters, keeping the device compact for desk or shelf placement.

Specifications

  • Processor: AMD Ryzen R7 H255 (8-core, 16-thread)
  • Storage Capacity: Up to 136TB
  • Storage Interfaces: 4x M.2 slots, 4x HDD bays
  • Network: 10 GbE + 2.5GbE dual ports
  • Dimensions: 165x145x165mm

Storage capacity is the standout feature of this hardware, with support for up to 136 terabytes of data. The internal layout includes four M.2 slots for fast solid-state drives and four bays for traditional mechanical hard drives. Network connectivity relies on a dual-port configuration featuring one 10 Gigabit Ethernet port and one 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet port. These interfaces allow for high-speed data transfers between the storage drives and the local network.

The ME Pro launched in China on July 1, 2024, with pricing that varies based on the included components. The barebone version, which excludes memory and storage drives, starts at 2739 CNY (around $403). A pre-configured model with 32GB of DDR5 RAM and a 500GB SSD costs 5599 CNY (around $823). These prices reflect the cost of the chassis, motherboard, and processor without the significant expense of the storage drives themselves.

We looked at Beelink EX Mate Pro Dock Launches in our earlier Beelink coverage. That related hardware highlights the company's focus on expansion and connectivity options for modern computing setups. The ME Pro continues this trend by offering substantial storage and networking capabilities in a compact form. The device provides a practical solution for users who need reliable, scalable storage without the bulk of a traditional server rack.

Beelink confirmed the specifications and pricing for the ME Pro through its July launch announcement. The system combines the AMD Ryzen R7 H255 processor with extensive storage options and dual network ports. Buyers can choose between a barebone configuration or a pre-built version with RAM and SSD included. The device is now available in the Chinese market for users seeking a modular, high-capacity mini PC.
