Quiet two-disk media box, not a four-port firewall: Beelink ME Pro
A mini PC that can hold two disks when you want a quiet media or backup box, not a four-port firewall. Soldered RAM and pre-order risk are the skip reasons.
A quiet two-disk media or backup box, not a four-port firewall. Soldered RAM means memory you cannot add later. Official ME Pro 2-Bay: N150 + 16 GB LPDDR5-4800 + 1 TB at $559 (was $679) on 22 Aug 2026. That 1 TB config was marked pre-order, ships within 35 days. N95 + 12 GB LPDDR5 + 512 GB is also listed. RAM is LPDDR5, soldered. Dual 3.5/2.5" SATA plus 3× M.2 (one x2, two x1). Adapter 19 V 6.32 A. Amazon B0GHSFH9X7, B0GQGXZ9NY.
The generic first-NAS note stays on first NAS. This is the SKU. Dual high-speed LAN is still not 4-NIC. 16 GB soldered is a ceiling, not a floor you can raise: see RAM ceiling. Pre-order risk is real.
What to buy
| Config | RAM / storage | Street / date | Call |
|---|---|---|---|
| ME Pro N150 official | 16 GB LPDDR5 soldered + 1 TB | $559 (was $679), 22 Aug 2026. Pre-order, ships within 35 days | The SKU if you want this chassis and will live with 16 GB forever. |
| ME Pro N95 official | 12 GB LPDDR5 soldered + 512 GB | Listed; print the live tag | Worse RAM ceiling. Skip as a default. |
Amazon B0GHSFH9X7 / B0GQGXZ9NY | Confirm CPU + RAM on the title | Print the live tag | Same soldered-RAM story. Read the listing. |
Skip
Skip this as the closet firewall. Skip the N95 / 12 GB config as a default. Skip treating a pre-order 35-day ship window as stock. If you need four NICs, VP2430e. If you need a growable DIMM, this is the wrong chassis. Chip-class context: N100 vs N150.
