Using Beelink ME Mini with 6 NVME drives, only 4 are useable in TrueNAS Scale

I posed about my issues with the ME Mini and that I would reach out to Bee-Link support.

They keep trying to say to install Truenas on the drive in slot 4 and REMOVE 1-2 drives. They didn’t say it, but they are eluding to a power restriction. I’ve told them that this solution is not acceptable as that limits the reason I bought the ME Mini in the first place.

They said they may have a bios update to fix the issues at some point. They have offered to replace the unit, but that won’t do anything.

I very dissatisfied with the ME Mini. I’m creating some social media content and I will re-test and have a video out warning people of the limitations of the unit.

I’ve decided to go with the Asustore Flashstor. I got one brand new off Ebay with a memory upgrade for $429 plus tax. I can run Truenas or Open Media Vault. This also be part of my upcoming NAS series.

What a bummer on the Me Mini overall.
