In this video, I review the Beelink ME Mini, a compact, all-NVMe mini NAS powered by the Intel N150 processor. I walk through the complete setup and installation of TrueNAS Community Edition, transforming this low-power, 6x M.2 SSD-capable device into a full-featured home server. Whether you're building a budget DIY NAS, setting up a media server with Jellyfin, or exploring RAIDZ1 performance, this tutorial covers it all. Learn about power efficiency, network speeds, thermal performance, and real-world file transfer benchmarks. If you're looking for a quiet, affordable NAS solution for your home lab, this video is for you.
