Beelink ME Pro 304
NAS / Network Storage, Home Lab, Media Server, Virtualization, Local AI / Photo Recognition, Compact Workstation
Overview
The Beelink ME Pro 304 is a compact 2-bay NAS and mini PC built around Intel's Wildcat Lake Core 3 304 processor, the first ME Pro refresh to add 10GbE networking and dual 40Gbps USB-C ports. It pairs two 2.5/3.5-inch SATA bays with a PCIe 4.0 M.2 NVMe slot and onboard 512GB UFS 3.1 flash, supports up to 64GB of user-replaceable DDR5-5600 memory, and ships with Windows 11 while running NAS operating systems such as Fygo OS, ZimaOS or TrueNAS just as happily. It is aimed at home labs and small offices that want genuine 10GbE throughput, dual-role PC/NAS operation and low-power 24/7 running in a footprint barely larger than a mini PC.
Key Highlights
- 10GbE plus 2.5GbE wired networking in a 2.25L vertical chassis — server-grade connectivity in a box smaller than most mini PCs
- Intel Core 3 304 (Wildcat Lake on Intel 18A) with roughly double the single-thread performance of the N150 it replaces, plus PCIe 4.0 and a 15 TOPS NPU
- Dual 40Gbps USB-C ports (USB4 / Thunderbolt 4 compatible, DP Alt Mode) alongside HDMI 2.1 for up to three 4K displays
- Hybrid storage design: two 30TB-class SATA bays plus a PCIe 4.0 M.2 NVMe slot and onboard 512GB UFS 3.1 OS flash — up to 64TB of raw capacity
- Modular, tool-friendly chassis with user-replaceable DDR5 SO-DIMM memory (up to 64GB) and a swappable motherboard platform
