Strengths

  • Six M.2 slots in a 99 mm cube — 24 TB of all-flash storage with no drive noise
  • 6 – 7 W idle without drives makes 24/7 operation almost free
  • Built-in PSU: one AC cable, no brick on the shelf
  • Dual 2.5GbE (or 2.5G + 5G) with Intel I226-V controllers
  • Three-year warranty and a genuinely quiet fan

Trade-offs

  • Five of the six slots are PCIe 3.0 x1, so drives top out around 1 GB/s each
  • N150 has four cores and no Hyper-Threading — fine for a NAS, thin for VMs
  • 16 GB of soldered single-channel LPDDR5 cannot be upgraded
  • 4 TB per-drive ceiling in the expansion slots caps the array at 24 TB
  • Ships with Windows 11 Home, which you will replace with a NAS OS
Best Suited For

All-flash NAS and backup target: TrueNAS, OpenMediaVault or a Proxmox node with ZFS mirrors, plus Jellyfin/Plex for a couple of direct-play streams.

Check before you buy
  • Check Beelink's published SSD compatibility list — several 4 TB drives are validated, others are not.
  • Plan for six identical drives: mixing capacities in a ZFS pool wastes the difference.
  • If you need 10GbE, this is the wrong box — the slots are x1 and there is no PCIe expansion.
