    Linus Tech Tips did a video on the FriendlyELEC NAS board. It’s $210 for the 32GB RAM version with no SSDs.

    It’s an ARM processor so great on power efficiency.

    Just in case the only thing you’re looking for is the price, I’ll save you a click.

    Beelink hasn’t announced how much the ME mini will cost or when it will be available for purcahse yet.

        No prob. My comment was from two week ago.

        There is an update on the site:

        Update: The Beelink ME mini is priced at 1295 CNY in China, which is about $177 at the current exchange rate. It’s likely to cost a bit more outside of China. A number of performance testing, unboxing & teardown, and other articles are also available at Chinese shopping & product recommendation site smzdm.

        But Beelink released the product with the same specs except this one has a N150 instead of a N200.

        Beelink ME mini 6-Slot Home Storage NAS Mini PC Intel® Twin Lake N150

        Price Currently:

        12GB LPDDR5+64EMMC+2TB Crucial SSD - $329 $400

        12GB LPDDR5+64EMMC+4TB (2TB*2) Crucial SSD - $429 $529 Currently not available.

        I don’t think this is a new productvso maybe they are just getting rid of their N150 stock. The one in China has an N200.

    I was just thinking “bah ssd, that’ll be expensive” but a quick search on Amazon suggests prices have dropped quite a bit.

    12Gb soldered on memory though. That’s a shame.

        With a SOC like that, that no way will only serve as a NAS, i can see my self easily hosting a dozen container on it and a couple VMs. That said, 12Gb is quite sufficient for my need.

          Sure, but then you’re looking not for a NAS but more for a minilab right? Personally I just split it in 2, one ol’ trustworthy NAS and then some thinkcentre tiny to mess with.

    I wish I could find something like this (low power kinda thing) that could take like 40 sata ssds.

    I have a whole stack of 500 GB ssds from a datacenter decommission that I’ve been sitting on.

    The 2TB units found their way into my ceph cluster… but those machines are live vms… A smaller little guy that can stack all these 500 gb would be nice to give to my cousin or something and use as offsite backup.
