  • description: I took the Beelink ME Pro and tested it the way I’d actually use a small NAS/homelab box: 2× SATA drives for bulk storage, plus 3× NVMe (boot + fast app pool). Then I built pools, set up SMB shares, tested real file transfers on 2.5G vs 5G, and finished with apps + Plex to see what the hardware can really do.
