Beelink ME Pro 2-Bay

The Beelink ME Pro is a 2-bay NAS in a compact, all-metal unibody enclosure, roughly half the size of a typical 2-bay NAS. Its motherboard sits on a swappable, drawer-mounted slide-in tray, so you can pull it out to clean dust, service components, or eventually upgrade to a different Intel, AMD, or ARM board as Beelink releases them. It suits anyone who wants a NAS designed to be lived with for years, not replaced the moment the CPU inside feels dated.

Who it's for

• Home users who want file serving and backups from a box that fits on a shelf or desk
• Households streaming a media library to several rooms with Plex or Jellyfin transcoding
• People who want tiered storage: large SATA drives for bulk archives plus fast M.2 SSDs for active projects or a cache tier
• Homelab builders who want to run TrueNAS, Unraid, or Proxmox instead of relying on Windows file sharing

Key features

• Ultra-compact all-metal unibody: At roughly half the size of a conventional 2-bay NAS, it fits on a shelf or desk, and the all-metal build keeps it rigid and well-shielded.
• Swappable, drawer-mounted motherboard: The board slides out on a tool-less tray for dust cleaning and servicing, with Intel N-series boards shipping today and AMD and ARM board options planned for the future, so the chassis and drive bays are not tied to one CPU generation.
• Intel N95 / N150 processor: Efficient Alder Lake-N / Twin Lake N-series silicon handles file serving, media transcoding, and light virtualization while using very little power around the clock.
• Dual hot-swap 2.5″ / 3.5″ SATA bays: Two tool-less bays take 2.5″ and 3.5″ SATA drives, up to 30TB per drive, for large-capacity spinning storage or SSDs.
• Triple M.2 NVMe expansion: Three additional M.2 2280 slots (one PCIe 3.0 x2, two PCIe 3.0 x1) add fast SSD storage or a cache tier alongside the SATA bays.
• 5GbE + 2.5GbE dual networking: A 5Gbps port (Realtek RTL8126) and a 2.5Gbps port (Intel i226-V) give you wired throughput for simultaneous backups, media streaming, and remote access without saturating a single link.
• Efficient blower-style cooling: Silicone thermal pads and an aluminum frame work with an internal blower fan to move heat away from the drives and the motherboard tray.
• Quiet, vibration-dampened operation: Tight-fitting mounting screws reduce HDD vibration noise and dual-side silicone dampeners protect and quiet spinning drives, which matters in a unit this small, even with two spinning 3.5″ drives installed.

Specifications

Good to know

• It ships running Windows 11 Home and is also compatible with TrueNAS, Unraid, and Proxmox.
• AMD and ARM boards are on Beelink’s roadmap; the boards shipping today are Intel N95 or N150.

Choose the ME Pro if you want a small, quiet 2-bay NAS with 5GbE plus 2.5GbE networking and a motherboard you can service or swap later, rather than a fixed-CPU box you replace as a whole.
