Introduction and Unb Box Xing
This is our second run-in with the Billink’s Mini PC, and the formula has not changed-Bilink makes a portable and good-looking mini PC with great specs at reasonable prices.
Today we are watching the Billink Mi Mini, a mini PC that is equally suitable for daily office fees tasks, as well as your home (or work) network connected storage (NAS) system for precious memories (or important work data). It can also be used as a local server solution.
Made with the crucial collaboration, the Me Mini connects popular Intel N150 processor with 12 GB LPDDR 5 RAM with an alternative dual-storage solution-your has a built-in 64GB EMMC and six M2 SSD slots (filled with 2 TB of Crusal P3 Plus). This allows you to operate a lightweight NAS system like fnos, nraid or truanas on EMC and, for example, uses a quick SSD for data storage.
Bilink Me Mini is available in midnight gray, peacock blue and pearl white. The mini PC is shipped in a 100 cm HDMI cable and AC cable BN.
The Mi Mini starts at 64GB EMMC and 12GB RAM at 209 and if you add prices from 2 TB crucial SSD (add prices from the Bilink website, but also on Amazon US) goes up to 9329. There will also be an option with 4 TB critical SSD in the near future.
Design and ports
The Billink Mi Mini is a square mini PC that measures 99 mm on all sides and weighs only 750 grams.
On top of it is an interesting design with a billink logo, which is surrounded by dot pattern air vent with words “archive your moments” written on the side in six different languages. There are six rubber legs at the bottom along the second air vent, and there are also vents on the left and right sides of the PC.
At the top of the machine is a built-in fan that sucks cool air from the top (and bottom) and the hot air out of the sides. Belink says it is only 33 dB out when working at an average of 1500 rpm.
There are many ports on the mini mini. The upfront A is 10 Gbps USB-C and other 10 Gbps USB-A 3.2. Around the back are the AC power port (100- 240V), USB-A 2.0 (always on support), two LAN 2.5G (with Intel I226-V controller) ports, and HDMI-A port (with 4K @ 60 Hz support).

To open the Billink Me Mini and get access to the access cess of its six M2 SSD slots, you first need to remove the four rubber screws and bottoms and add four screws. Then you lift the outer cover of the plastic, and you are inside.
Inside, you will see a top-mounted fan, built-in 45W power supply and six M.2 SSD slots, labeled and thermal pads installed. Five out of six PCIs are 3.0 x1, but the slot number is four fast x2 (that is where the built-in is a critical SSD).
Mi Mini supports up to 4 TB SSD per drive for a total of 24 TB data. You can select between 2230/2242/2280 M.2 type SSD. The Intel N150 Intel Twin is based on the Lake architecture, which is more blow to the old Elder lake than the new setup. It is based on Intel’s 7 lithography, meaning this is a 10NM processor.
As the N100 is physically similar, the N150 has four efficiency-centered cores and four threads. The maximum turbo clock speed is 6.6 GHz – above 3.4 GHz – while the cache is the same 6 MB. GPU Side, you get the same intel graphics with 24 compute units, but the peak clock has increased from 750 MHz to 1000 MHz.
The N150 has a peak TDP of 25W (typical TDP is 6W). We run numerous tests on the machine, but the N150 is a well -known item in the industry at this time. Interestingly, despite the end of last year we used the same N150 of the Billink EQ14, M.E. Mini made a little less in some tests. The difference of this RAM may be below (EQ14 has 16GB, the m mini has 12GB).
For example, in Geekbench 6, Me Mini made 16% in single-core and 40% in multi-core tests. It was similar to the Geekbench AI test. M.E. The CPU evaluation of the N150’s passmark inside the mini was 14% worse than EQ14, while memory was even worse, 45% worse.
Operations and fan voice
Belink Me Mini uses Intel’s popular N150 processor. It is a successor to the N100 and is a high-altitude type of processor.

However, since the EQ14 SATA III came with SSD, Me Mini’s PCI 3.0 crucial P3 Plus circles around it – it is 70% better in the passmark. And indeed, when the 512GB unit inside the EQ14 offered the speed of reading about 530 MB/Sena and wrote about 525 MB/s, the crucial P3 Plus in the Mi Mini provides 1,740 MB/s and 1,687 MB/s respectively.
And that is the main idea of the Me Mini: it’s best for use as a home server or NAS.
We conducted a three -hour stress test on the mini mini. The processor quickly left his peak 6.6 GHz in favor of about 2.5 GHz. It rarely sinked down to about 500 MHz and 2.2-2.5 GHz. The processor showed 65 of reading, and the outer touch of the PC was hot.
However, we cannot say that we have ever heard of spinning to the fan, even on the length of the hand. We measured below 30 dB. This mini PC will not be afraid of most of the office fees or home environments.
End
As configured, the Billink Mi Mini (12GB RAM, 64GB EMMC, 2 TB critical SSD) is 9329 on the Belink website and 9 409 on Amazon US. However, the Amazon U.S. Gives $ 80 coupon, which effectively matches the billink’s own price.
Considering that you get Windows 11 as part of a deal, we will say that the Me Mini is a concrete first step towards your own home server to protect your favorite memories and to reach the hand. Optional storage up to 24 TB is more than enough space to store your photos and videos for years.
We will use the Me Mini as our new Office Fiss Server, to run things like our camera, and to run many tools every day to create our articles and reviews.
Anyone is surprised that our Office Fiss Server Setup, without going too detailed, we have an FTP server, Apache and MySQL for three or more internal equipment, such as battery LOG and Audio Dio sample analysis, camera monitoring and some data delivery for testing equipment. It’s nothing very intensive, but at the same time, we have a few monitors with the figures that hit the server constantly and the camera processing is not too lighter for speed check. Sure, the Intel N150 is not a powerhouse in any way, but it is just doing nice for the case of our use, which is clearly impressive.
