Compared to the previous N95/N150 model, it upgrades networking from 5GbE to 10GbE, adds two Thunderbolt 4/USB4 ports, and includes a 15 TOPS NPU for AI workloads. The trade-off is a reduction from three M.2 PCIe Gen3 slots to one M.2 PCIe Gen4 x1 slot, partially offset by built-in 512GB UFS 3.1 storage. Memory is 16GB DDR5-5600 SO-DIMM upgradeable to 64GB, with two SATA bays supporting up to 60TB. It ships with Windows 11 Pro but supports TrueNAS, Unraid, Proxmox, and Ubuntu Server. Pre-orders are open at $619 with shipping expected in August. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### What are the specs of the new Beelink ME Pro 2-Bay NAS with Wildcat Lake? It uses an Intel Core 3 304 Wildcat Lake processor (5-core, 1 P-core plus 4 LPE-cores, 15 TOPS NPU), 16GB DDR5-5600 SO-DIMM memory upgradeable to 64GB, 512GB UFS 3.1 storage, two SATA bays supporting up to 60TB total, and one M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 x1 slot for up to 4TB. It also adds a 10GbE RJ45 port, a 2.5GbE port, and two Thunderbolt 4/USB4 ports, priced at $619 for pre-order. _Homelab builders comparing NAS hardware picks can find spec breakdowns like this on daily.dev._ ### How does the Beelink ME Pro Wildcat Lake NAS differ from the previous N95/N150 version? The Wildcat Lake version swaps the 5GbE port for a 10GbE port and adds two Thunderbolt 4 ports, but drops from three M.2 PCIe Gen3 sockets to just one M.2 PCIe Gen4 socket due to fewer PCIe lanes on the Wildcat Lake processor. This storage reduction is partly offset by the addition of 512GB of built-in UFS 3.1 flash storage for the OS. _Track hardware tradeoffs like these on daily.dev before upgrading a NAS build._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Part 2: An Intel Core 3 304 "Wildcat Lake" mini PC tested with Windows 11 Pro](https://daily.dev/posts/part-2-an-intel-core-3-304-wildcat-lake-mini-pc-tested-with-windows-11-pro-nyhgsuluu) · CNX Software · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [N100 mini PCs had a great run, but it's finally time to stop recommending them](https://daily.dev/posts/n100-mini-pcs-had-a-great-run-but-it-s-finally-time-to-stop-recommending-them-hxao5emx3) · XDA Developers · 1 upvotes · 1 comments - [DIY NAS: 2026 Edition](https://daily.dev/posts/diy-nas-2026-edition-4nn1gqi9k) · Hacker News · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [MINISFORUM Elite Mini M2 Air-304 barebone Wildcat Lake mini PC sells for $263](https://daily.dev/posts/minisforum-elite-mini-m2-air-304-barebone-wildcat-lake-mini-pc-sells-for-263-ngyqsfdke) · CNX Software · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#hardware](https://daily.dev/tags/hardware), [#intel](https://daily.dev/tags/intel), [#truenas](https://daily.dev/tags/truenas) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/beelink-me-pro-2-bay-hybrid-nas-gets-wildcat-lake-treatment-gains-10gbe-and-thunderbolt-4-loses-a--ebyt1zc9z) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Beelink ME Pro 2-bay hybrid NAS gets Wildcat Lake treatment, gains 10GbE and Thunderbolt 4, loses a few M.2 slots","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/beelink-me-pro-2-bay-hybrid-nas-gets-wildcat-lake-treatment-gains-10gbe-and-thunderbolt-4-loses-a--ebyt1zc9z","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/beelink-me-pro-2-bay-hybrid-nas-gets-wildcat-lake-treatment-gains-10gbe-and-thunderbolt-4-loses-a--ebyt1zc9z"},"datePublished":"2026-07-25T03:58:18.383Z","dateModified":"2026-09-14T07:00:22.232Z","description":"Beelink has announced the ME Pro 2-Bay AI NAS Mini PC powered by the Intel Core 3 304 'Wildcat Lake' processor.
