    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.

    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.

    The ME mini features 12GB of LPDDR5-4800 memory, which means the RAM will be soldered to the mainboard and not user upgradeable.

    Aaaaand I’m out.

    Edit: Hijacking my own comment to update the update

    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.
