Beelink ME Mini new SSD recommendation

Vinvar

Dear Beelink,

Given the announcement from Micron that they stop with the Crucial SSDs for the consumer markets from March onwards (link), I am wondering which SSDs are recommended be Beelink to be used with the Beelink ME Mini. On the poduct page (link) I still see the Crucials as recommended SSDs.

Would you be able to update your recommendation, please?

Thanks in advance and warm regards.

Thank you for reaching out to Beelink and bringing this to our attention. We appreciate your vigilance regarding Micron’s announcement to discontinue Crucial consumer SSDs starting March.
First, we want to confirm that Crucial SSDs currently available on the market remain fully compatible with the Beelink ME Mini. As stock is still accessible through authorized retailers, you can continue to use them with confidence if you prefer this brand.
In addition to Crucial, Beelink officially recommends any low-power NVMe SSD (M.2 2280 form factor) for the ME Mini. These SSDs are widely available, offer reliable performance, and are optimized to match the ME Mini’s power specifications—ensuring stable operation and efficient energy usage.
We are in the process of updating the product page to reflect this expanded recommendation, and the revised information will be live soon. If you have specific SSD models in mind and need verification of compatibility, feel free to share the details, and we will assist promptly.
Thank you for your understanding and support. Please let us know if you have any further questions.

Thank you for your answer and for giving me feedback if I had SSDs in mind. I would like to use the recommended SSDs. Therefore, no further assistance is needed at this moment.

Thanks again and I will view the product page regularly till the revised information is added.

@Vinvar I’d recommend to read this thread before purchasing disks. as not all Crucial nVMEs are the same.

Vinvar

Dear @Gwynn, thank you for notifying me.

@Beelink CS-George, could you confirm that six WD_Black SN7100 1TB or 2TB, using the eMMC as the place to install Truenas Community Edition and with all other components will work, please?

Im using the 1TB Crucial which is installed on delivery and also 5x Samsung 990 EVO Plus 2TB with TrueNAS no problems with them,

Vinvar

Thank you for sharing your insight. Might be a good alternative to the WE Black SN7100. As I see both not on the official SSD Compatibility List, I am hoping Beelink can confirm both.
