2026 verdict
Two Beelink boxes that look like mini PCs but are really small storage servers, and the Beelink ME Pro (N150 16GB + 1TB) wins because it holds real hard drives.
It pairs two 2.5/3.5-inch SATA bays with three M.2 slots, adds a 5GbE and a 2.5GbE port, ships 16 GB of memory and a 1 TB SSD, and comes in a quiet all-aluminum chassis. The Beelink ME mini (N95 12GB + 64GB) is the cheaper flash-only cube: six M.2 slots for up to 24 TB of SSDs, two 2.5G ports and an internal power supply, but only 12 GB of soldered memory, 64 GB of eMMC and no drive bay. Choose the ME Pro to host hard drives and self-hosted services, and the ME mini for an all-flash NAS where every drive is an M.2 stick.

What the differences mean
Drive bays
The Beelink ME Pro takes two 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch SATA hard drives alongside three M.2 slots, up to 72 TB in total, which is what makes it a real NAS host. The Beelink ME mini has no SATA bay at all: six M.2 2280 slots are the whole storage plan, up to 24 TB of SSDs.
Memory
Both use soldered single-channel LPDDR5 that cannot be upgraded. The ME Pro ships 16 GB and the ME mini 12 GB, and that fixed ceiling is the main limit on how many containers or virtual machines each can carry.
Networking
The ME mini has two 2.5G Ethernet ports, useful for link aggregation. The ME Pro has one 5GbE and one 2.5GbE, so it offers a faster single link rather than a matched pair.
Power
The Beelink ME mini hides a 45 W supply inside its 99 mm cube, so it runs from one AC cable. The Beelink ME Pro uses an external 120 W brick, which is one more object on the shelf but leaves room for the drive bays.
What is included and the chassis
The ME Pro includes a 1 TB SSD and an aluminum body weighing 2.1 kg, with HDMI plus video over USB-C and an audio jack. The ME mini is a lighter plastic cube with a single HDMI output, no audio jack, no DisplayPort and no included data drive beyond its 64 GB eMMC.
Which one to buy if
- you want to run real hard drives in a NAS
The Beelink ME Pro (N150 16GB + 1TB) holds two 2.5/3.5-inch SATA drives plus three M.2 sticks, which the all-M.2 mini cannot.
- you want an all-flash server with as many SSDs as possible
The Beelink ME mini (N95 12GB + 64GB) offers six M.2 2280 slots for up to 24 TB of NVMe and SATA SSDs.
- you want the fastest single network link
The ME Pro carries a 5GbE port; the ME mini tops out at two 2.5G ports.
- you want the cheapest way into a multi-drive box
The Beelink ME mini is the lower-priced of the pair, though you still have to buy every data SSD yourself.
- memory headroom matters for virtual machines
The ME Pro ships 16 GB against 12 GB on the mini, and neither can be upgraded later, so the ceiling is set at purchase.

What owners say
Beelink ME Pro (N150 16GB + 1TB) owners mostly run it as a home server rather than a desktop, under TrueNAS, Proxmox, Unraid or Ubuntu, or as a Windows Plex box, and two things come up again and again. The first is noise: several say the internal blower is close to silent in a quiet room, quiet enough to keep in a bedroom or living room. The second is build quality, with the aluminum unibody described as solid and precisely made and noticeably smaller than an older two-bay NAS. Owners report plenty of headroom for a dozen container services on the N150 and easy drive installation. The recurring cautions are that the 16 GB of memory is soldered and cannot be upgraded, that the preinstalled Windows is slow to update and not meant as a desktop replacement, that drives run warm under load with tight-fitting trays, and that the 120 W supply is an external brick rather than an internal unit.
Price history compared
Every price change of both, in the same store, so the gap between the two lines is what one costs more than the other.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which is better overall: Beelink ME mini (N95 12GB + 64GB) or Beelink ME Pro (N150 16GB + 1TB)?
The Beelink ME Pro (N150 16GB + 1TB) for a home server, because it takes two SATA hard drives, offers 5GbE, ships 16 GB of memory and a 1 TB SSD and comes in a quiet aluminum chassis. The Beelink ME mini (N95 12GB + 64GB) is the better pick for an all-flash build where only M.2 sticks are wanted and the budget is tighter.
What is the biggest difference between the Beelink ME mini and the Beelink ME Pro?
Drive bays. The Beelink ME Pro has two 2.5/3.5-inch SATA bays plus three M.2 slots and includes a 1 TB SSD, while the Beelink ME mini has six M.2 slots and only a 64 GB eMMC. That makes the ME Pro a NAS host and the ME mini an all-flash appliance.
Can the Beelink ME mini and the Beelink ME Pro have their memory upgraded?
No. Both use soldered single-channel LPDDR5 that cannot be changed. The Beelink ME mini ships 12 GB and the Beelink ME Pro 16 GB, and that is the maximum for each, which caps how many containers or virtual machines they can run.
Do the Beelink ME mini and the Beelink ME Pro run NAS software?
Neither includes NAS software. Both ship with Windows 11 Home on standard x86 hardware, so owners install TrueNAS, Unraid, Proxmox or Ubuntu Server themselves, which is how most of them are used.
Who should buy the Beelink ME mini (N95 12GB + 64GB)?
Someone building a small all-flash file, backup or media server who wants six M.2 slots, dual 2.5G networking and an internal power supply, and who can accept fixed 12 GB of memory and buying every SSD separately.
Who should buy the Beelink ME Pro (N150 16GB + 1TB)?
Anyone who wants a compact, quiet home-lab box that holds two hard drives and a few M.2 drives, with 5GbE networking and an included 1 TB SSD, and who is comfortable installing their own operating system.
