Beelink launches ME Pro modular NAS with expandable hardware

Beelink has introduced the ME Pro, a modular Network Attached Storage (NAS) system designed for hardware upgradability. Available in two-bay and four-bay configurations, the system features a unique slide-out motherboard design that allows users to swap compatible Intel or AMD modules between enclosures. This modularity enables users to expand storage capacity without replacing their existing computing hardware.

The high-end ME Pro 4-Bay model is equipped with an Intel Core i5-13500H processor, 32GB of DDR4 RAM, and a 500GB SSD. It includes four 3.5-inch drive bays and two M.2 slots. Connectivity options are extensive, featuring 10Gigabit Ethernet, 2.5Gigabit Ethernet, Wi-Fi 6E, USB4, and HDMI.

Running on Fygo OS, the device provides file synchronization, backup tools, and AI-powered photo organization. For AI workloads, a specific configuration offers up to 86 TOPS of performance, supporting local models such as DeepSeek R1 and Gemma 4. The unit is designed for 24/7 operation with a metal chassis optimized for heat dissipation and low noise levels, reportedly as low as 34 dB.
