Belink Me Mini 6-Slot Nas Nas Money PC Overview

Introduction and inboxing

This is our second run with Belink’s mini-PC, and the formula has not changed-the Belnic portable and the good-looking mini-PC makes with a great price of great pricing.

Today we are looking at Belink Me, a mini -PC that is equally suitable for daily office tasks, as well as your home (or work) network -connected storage (NAS) system for these valuable memories (or important work data). It can even be used as a local server solution.

With mutual cooperation with the main, the popular Intel N150 processor in ME MEI is linked with an optional dual storage solution with 12 GB LPDR5 RAM with an optional dual storage solution-you have built-in 64 Gbmmc and six MSD slots (which is filled with 2 TB main P3 Plus). This allows you to run a lightweight NAS system on the EMMC, such as FNOS, NRAID, or Truenas, and for example, high -speed SSDs can be used for data storage.

Belink me is available in the brown, peacock Blue, and Pearl White at midnight. The mini -PC sends a ship to 100 cm HDMI cable and an AC cable box.

ME Money starts at 9 209 with 64 GBMC and 12GB RAM and if you add 2 TB main SSD (Belink’s website, but also available on Amazon US) to $ 329. In the near future, there will be an option with 4TB important SSD.

Design and ports

Belink Money is a square mini PC that measures 99 mm on each side and weighs only 750 grams.

It has an interesting design with the Belink’s logo, surrounded by a dot pattern surrounded by air vent, whose words are written in six different languages ​​with the words “save your moments”. There are six rubber feet in the bottom, as well as another wind path, and there are vents on the left and right sides of the PC.

The upper part of the machine is a built -in fan that sucks the cool air from the top (and down) and removes the hot air from the sides. Belink says that when an average of 1500 RPM works, it only emits 33DB.

There are many ports on the mini. The front is a 10 GBPS USB-C and another 10 Gbps USB-A 3.2. The back section has AC Power Port (100- 240V), a USB-A 2.0 (always with support), two LAN 2.5G (Intel I226-V Controller) ports, and HDMI-A port (with 4K @ 60Hz support).

Ports-USB-C, USB-A front, AC, USB-A, two LAN, and a HDMI behind

Belink me to open the mini and access its six M2 SSD slots, you need to remove the first four rubber feet and bottom and open the four patch. Then you raise the outer cover of the plastic upwards, and you are inside.

Within it, you have top -mounted fan, built -in 45W power supply, and six M2 SSD slots, labeled and thermal pads installed. Five out of six are PCIE 3.0 x1, but the slot number is four high -speed x2 (this is the place where the built -in is the main SSD).

ME Money supports up to 4 TBSDs per drive for 24 TB data total. You can choose between 2230/2242/2280 M2 type SSD. Intel N150 is based on Intel Twin Lake architecture, which is more than a new setup compared to the old Elder leak. It is based on Intel’s 7 lithography, meaning it is a 10nm processor.

Being physically identical to the N100, the N150 has four performance -based covers and four threads. The maximum turbo clock speed is 3.6 GHz – more than 3.4 GHz – while the cache is the same 6MB. On the GPU, you get the same Intel graphics with 24 computing units, but the peak clock has increased from 750 MHz to 1000 MHz.

The N150 has a 25W peak TDP (ordinary TDP is 6W). We have run several tests on the machine, but the N150 is a well -known item in the industry at this location. Interestingly, despite using the same N150 like the Belink EQ14, we experienced at the end of the last year, I scored slightly less in some tests. This may be a difference in RAM (EQ14 has 16GB, I have 12 GB in Mani).

For example, in the Gack Bench 6, ME Mani scored 16 % worse in a single core and 40 % worse in multi -core tests. The same was the case with the Gack Bench AI test. The N150 pass mark’s CPU diagnosis within ME Money was 14 % worse than EQ14, while the memory was also 45 % worse.

Performance and the noise of fans

Belink Me uses Mini Intel’s popular N150 processor. It is the successor of the N100 and is a different type of processor.

However, since the EQ14 Sata III came with SSD, the PCIE 3.0 main P3 Plus of me me mei – this is 70 % better in the pass mark. And really, while the 512GB unit within the EQ14 offers about 530 MB/s reading speed and write around 525 MB/s, the main P3 Plus in ME ME offers 1,740 MB/S and 1,687 MB/S respectively.

And this is the basic idea of ​​Mei: This is best suitable for home server or NASS as well.

We conducted a three -hour stress test on the mini. The processor quickly dropped its peak 3.6 GHz in favor of approximately 2.5 GHz. It rarely drowned in 500 MW and returned to 2.2-2.5 GHz. The processor showed a study of 65 °, and the outer part of the PC was hot for contact.

However, we cannot say that we have ever heard fans roam, even in the length of the arm. We measured below 30 DB. This mini -PC will not be upset in most of the office or domestic environment.

Conclusion

As formed, Belink Money (12GB RAM, 64GBEMMC, 2 TB Main SSD) has 9 329 on the Belink’s website and 949 on Amazon US. However, Amazon offers US $ 80 coupon, which is effectively mixed with Belink’s own price.

Considering you getting Windows 11 as part of the contract, we say that Money is a solid first step towards your own home server to preserve the memories of your choice and get in the arm. The optional up to 24 TB is more than enough to store your photos and videos for years.

We will use the mini as our new office server to drive things like our camera, and we need many tools every day to make our articles and reviews.

No one wonders how our office server setup looks like, without too much detail, we have some data supply for battery log and audio sample analysis, camera monitoring and recording utility and testing tools such as three or more internal tools, Apache and SCL. This is nothing deep, but at the same time, we have some monitors whose statistics permanently hit the server and camera processing is not too light to detect motion. Certainly, Intel N150 is not a powerhouse in any way, but it is doing exactly in terms of our use, which is clearly an impressive.
