- Youyeetoo NestDisk has four M.2 slots, three using PCIe 3.0 x2 and one supporting SATA3
- Interface bandwidth limits prevent high-end SSDs from reaching full speed
- SSD thickness of 7mm is recommended for physical compatibility
Youyeetoo NestDisk is a compact mini PC built around four internal M.2 2280 slots, all intended for solid-state storage.
Three of these slots rely exclusively on PCIe 3.0 x2 links, while the fourth also accepts SATA3 drives.
These interfaces offer limited bandwidth, so high-end SSDs will not reach their theoretical performance ceilings.
Interface bandwidth sets practical limits on SSD performance
The device limits raw performance through its connections rather than the storage itself.
Youyeetoo also advises using SSDs with a thickness of 7 mm, citing compatibility reasons linked to the dimensions of the case.
This recommendation implicitly limits the choice of units and aims for strict internal tolerances.
The NestDisk mini PC uses an Intel N150 processor combined with 12 GB of DDR5 memory.
This entry-level CPU is aimed at low-power server workloads rather than compute-intensive tasks.
Software-wise, the system ships with OpenMediaVault installed on the internal eMMC storage, allowing for immediate use as a NAS device.
The operating system prioritizes storage management, network sharing, and plugin-based extensibility.
Although users can replace the pre-installed software, the default configuration clearly reflects a storage-focused feature rather than general desktop usage.
For connectivity, the device provides network access through two 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet ports powered by Intel i226-V controllers.
Wireless connectivity includes Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2, while physical I/O consists of three USB 3.2 Type-A ports and one USB 3.0 Type-C port.
The device also includes a second USB 3.0 Type-C port that supports DisplayPort output and Power Delivery.
Additional interfaces include two HDMI outputs and a 3.5mm combo audio jack.
A 3cm active internal fan manages cooling and the company markets it as quiet, a claim that remains questionable given the size of the fan.
The company also offers an optional second USB-powered fan to help with heat dissipation during sustained operation.
The base model of Youyeetoo NestDisk, with 12 GB of DDR5 memory and 64 GB of eMMC storage, has a starting price of €178 excluding VAT and shipping.
A version bundled with a basic 512GB NVMe SSD costs €195, while the 1TB SSD configuration costs €212, again excluding VAT and shipping.
Transport adds €13, with an additional €8 service fee, bringing the pre-tax total for the base model to €201.30. If at least 20% VAT is added, the total amounts to approximately €241.
The company does not specify import handling fees, which will probably cost between 15 and 30 euros depending on the carrier.
The company handles shipping through services such as DHL, FedEx, UPS, EMS, and Hong Kong Post, and payments are processed through PayPal.
