Beelink has expanded its ME Pro line with a four-bay model that targets users needing massive local storage without sacrificing processing power. This configuration allows home lab enthusiasts and small business owners to build a high-performance network-attached storage device that doubles as a capable workstation. The transition from a single-bay design to a four-bay chassis meets the increasing need for centralized data storage using modern hardware.
Four-bay chassis supports 132TB HDDs and 256GB RAM for home labs
The new unit is built around the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 processor, which belongs to the Strix Point family. This chip includes a Radeon 890M integrated graphics engine, providing enough graphical horsepower for light creative tasks or media transcoding alongside storage duties. The device features a modular motherboard design that facilitates easier maintenance and potential upgrades compared to typical consumer mini PCs.
Specifications
- Processor: AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 (Strix Point)
- Storage Capacity: 132TB (4x 3.5-inch/2.5-inch HDDs up to 30TB each)
- M.2 Slots: 3 slots, up to 4TB each
- Memory: 2x SO-DIMM slots, up to 256GB total
- Network: 1x 10GbE, 1x 2.5GbE, WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5.4
Storage capacity is the primary differentiator for this model, supporting up to 132TB across four bays for 3.5-inch or 2.5-inch drives. Each bay can accommodate a single hard drive with a maximum capacity of 30TB, giving users significant flexibility in drive selection. The system also includes three M.2 slots that support NVMe SSDs up to 4TB each, offering high-speed cache or operating system storage separate from the main array.
Memory configuration includes two SO-DIMM slots with a total maximum support of 256GB, which is substantial for a device of this class. Connectivity options feature a 10GbE port for high-speed local network transfers, supplemented by a 2.5GbE port for general internet or backup connections. The rear I/O panel provides three USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports, one USB4 port for high-bandwidth peripherals, an HDMI 2.1 output for 4K 60Hz display, and a 3.5mm audio jack.
Pricing in China starts at CNY 4,299 for the barebone configuration, which is around $634. A pre-configured version with 32GB of RAM and a 500GB SSD is listed at CNY 7,599, or approximately $1,120. The device is currently available in China, while global launch details and international pricing remain unconfirmed but are expected soon.
We looked at Beelink ME Pro NAS launches with in our earlier Beelink coverage. This four-bay model expands the product line's capabilities by pairing high storage capacity with a powerful consumer-grade processor. The confirmed specifications provide a clear baseline for users evaluating this hardware for their specific data and compute needs.
