Beelink launches modular ME Pro NAS on Kickstarter
Beelink has launched the ME Pro on Kickstarter, a modular NAS available in two and four-bay configurations with an interchangeable motherboard design. The company says the system lets users increase performance or storage capacity as their needs change.
- Beelink has launched the ME Pro NAS on Kickstarter.
- The system is available in two-bay and four-bay configurations.
- Interchangeable Intel and AMD motherboard modules support upgrades between compatible cases.
- Fygo OS provides synchronization, backup, AI photo organization and remote access.
- The AI 470 configuration offers up to 86 TOPS and local support for several AI models.
A NAS built around interchangeable hardware
The ME Pro uses a sliding motherboard module design that supports compatible Intel and AMD modules. The same module can be moved between compatible two-bay and four-bay cases, allowing users to keep an existing motherboard while expanding storage capacity.
Beelink says the approach is designed to make NAS upgrades more flexible. Rather than replacing the entire system when storage needs increase, users can move the motherboard into a larger chassis. The company also positions the platform as a way to upgrade performance over time.
The NAS has a compact, one-piece metal chassis. According to Beelink, it occupies about 50% less space than NAS systems with the same number of drive bays, making it suitable for a desk, living room or studio.
Cooling and software for continuous use
Beelink says the ME Pro is designed to operate around the clock, with noise levels as low as 34 dB. Thermally conductive silicone and aluminum mounts help remove heat from hard drives, while a vapor chamber and internal fan distribute and dissipate heat. A firmly secured assembly is intended to reduce vibration and operating noise.
The system comes with Fygo OS preinstalled. Its features include file synchronization and backup, AI-based photo organization, file recovery from snapshots and one-click remote access. These tools are aimed at users who want to manage files and access stored content across locations.
For media teams, Beelink includes the Seek collaboration platform. It supports previews and transcoding for multiple media formats, online file review and annotation, access permissions, and resource sharing from a single workspace.
Local AI deployment and Kickstarter availability
The AI 470 configuration offers up to 86 TOPS of AI performance, according to Beelink, and runs AI assistants locally. Supported models include Qwen 3.5 with up to 35 billion parameters, DeepSeek R1 with up to 32 billion parameters, and Gemma 4 with up to 26 billion parameters.
The Kickstarter campaign is now live and includes launch offers. Beelink directs potential buyers to the ME Pro Kickstarter campaign for details about the available model and configuration.
For users, the central proposition is a NAS that combines expandable storage hardware with file management, media collaboration and local AI capabilities. The interchangeable motherboard system could also allow the same hardware module to remain in use as users move from a two-bay to a four-bay enclosure, subject to compatibility with the available cases and modules.
