Beelink ME Mini 6*4To Crucial P310

Chevaler27

Hi,
on the ME Mini, as soon as I plug more than 4 4To Crucial P310, I’m not able to mount any RaidZ1 or RaidZ2 in TrueNas.
I have 6 disks to plug to reach 24To.
I have deactivated CSM support in the BIOS.
Any ideas of what I can do next?
Thanks!

One more detail, TrueNas Community last version is instaleld on the emmc drive.
I have BIOS version: M1V304 and my ME Mini is a 12Gb N150 version.

Hello,
I’m also asking a similar question. I have 6 Crucial 4TB P3 Plus NVMe PCIe 4.0 M.2, ME Minii with BIOS M1V303, 12Gb N150. I’ve installed 2 different Linux OS’s so far, the OS only sees 3 drives, but the BIOS sees all 6. I’ve also disabled CSM support and secure boot was disabled. Do I need a BIOS upgrade or do you know how to get the OS to see all 6 NVME drives?

Thank you.

Hi there， beside the SSD, do you also connect other USB devices ?

puxxor

Yes, the USB keyboard was connected to install the OS, and then left connected. After removing, all the NVME drives are now available. Thank you for the hint.

Hi,
I’ve ordered a ME mini (but haven’t received it yet). While in the end I will be running headless, when I first set it up I plan to have a USB keyboard plugged it. Does this mean I can’t have anything plugged into the USB port when six drives are installed? That seems surprising and like it could be a problem.

It’s fine for the OS install. You will want to make it headless prior to configuring the NVME drives in your preferred NAS software.

puxxor Thanks! I figured that from your earlier posts and it certainly seems workable. It’s a bit troubling for some uses I can think of. For instance, if I setup all 5 1-lane NVMEs as a raid 5 and then plug in the thumb drive to copy some things over do I break the raid? I’ve just never heard of USB/disk interactions like this. Is the problem only at boot? I’m hoping BeeLink support has something informative to add.
