Share Your Thoughts on a Perfect NAS – Best Feedback Wins One of x100 Beelink ME Mini NAS’
Beelink has begun a new online campaign asking users to share what their ideal NAS should look like. The initiative follows the success of the company’s first consumer NAS, the Beelink ME Mini, a six-slot M.2 NVMe system equipped with Intel’s N150 processor, DDR5 memory, and dual 2.5GbE connectivity. Compact in size yet capable of handling multimedia, Plex, or lightweight virtualisation workloads, the ME Mini became a popular entry point into DIY NAS building through its competitive pricing and quiet operation. Having established a foothold in the NAS segment after years of producing small form-factor PCs, Beelink now appears to be shaping its long-term roadmap around user collaboration. This campaign, which focuses on community feedback, signals the company’s intention to refine the design language, cooling approach, and modular expandability of upcoming systems such as the ME Pro and ME Pro Max, both of which were recently discussed in early development previews during factory visits in Shenzhen. So, how do you provide your feedback on your ideal NAS, and how can you win a free Beelink ME Mini?
Disclaimer – This is NOT A SPONSORED POST! I am covering this because, after the brand allowed me to see their expanding NAS development, I took a personal interest in seeing their work towards building some fantastic solutions for home and business!

How to Provide NAS Feedback and Be Entered into the Beelink ME Mini NAS Draw?
Anyone interested in contributing to Beelink’s NAS design discussion can take part through the company’s official social media posts on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Reddit, and X. Each platform follows a similar participation format. Users must first follow Beelink’s official account, like the relevant campaign post, and then leave a thoughtful comment outlining what they believe makes an ideal NAS. These responses can focus on functional aspects such as cooling systems, dust-management solutions, and maintenance access, or on design-related ideas like exterior layout, noise reduction, and modular upgradability.

All entries must be submitted by November 30th, 2025. Beelink will then review responses and announce the 200 winning contributors on December 3rd. Selected users will receive a free Beelink ME Pro NAS unit once it launches. This structure gives users equal opportunity across every major platform, ensuring feedback comes from a diverse mix of communities including existing ME Mini owners, NAS hobbyists, and small business users looking for scalable and efficient network storage hardware.
Why is Beelink Looking for Feedback on the Perfect NAS?
- Power Consumption
- CPU Power vs Efficiency
- Scale and physical footprint
- Storage Media Type
- Network Connectivity
- General IO of the Hardware
- Turnkey vs Semi-DIY
- AMD vs Intel
- And of course….Price
Why This Matters to the NAS Industry?
Beelink’s decision to crowdsource input for its upcoming NAS models reflects a wider shift in how smaller hardware manufacturers are shaping their design and development pipelines. Instead of relying solely on internal research or reseller feedback, Beelink is turning directly to the end users who actively deploy and experiment with NAS systems in home labs, media servers, and small business setups. This approach allows the company to collect detailed, practical insights on what real-world users value most, such as the balance between performance and noise, ease of access for upgrades, power efficiency, and thermal control. In context, this campaign follows Beelink’s rapid emergence as a new competitor in the DIY NAS space. The ME Mini gained traction in 2025 precisely because it delivered features that users had long requested from other compact NAS vendors—such as M.2-only storage layouts, 2.5GbE networking, and an affordable price point around the $200 mark. Now, by seeking public feedback, Beelink appears to be validating the direction of its upcoming models like the ME Pro, ME Pro X, and ME Pro Max, which are expected to feature higher networking speeds, larger capacity support, and improved cooling systems.

The company’s move also suggests it is actively testing which hardware configurations resonate most with a global user base that is increasingly focused on compact, high-throughput NAS systems rather than proprietary ecosystems. Gathering opinions on airflow, dust resistance, and modular design is likely to influence how future Beelink devices are built, potentially leading to products that better address the maintenance challenges of small enclosures and the demand for quieter yet more powerful systems. For a brand still new to network storage, this kind of direct engagement could accelerate its path toward becoming a recognised name in the wider NAS market.
