- 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
- 7mm SSD thickness is recommended for physical compatibility
The Youyeetoo NestDisk is a compact mini PC built around four internal M.2 2280 slots, all for SSD 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 won’t 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 7mm, citing compatibility reasons related to the dimensions of the case.
This recommendation implicitly limits the choice of drive and emphasizes strict internal tolerances.
The NestDisk mini PC uses an Intel N150 processor combined with 12 GB of DDR5 memory.
This entry-level processor targets low-power server workloads rather than compute-intensive tasks.
On the software side, the system comes with OpenMediaVault installed on internal eMMC storage, allowing immediate use as a NAS appliance.
The operating system prioritizes storage management, network sharing, and plugin-based extensibility.
Although users can override the pre-installed software, the default configuration clearly reflects a storage-focused role rather than general desktop use.
For connectivity, the device provides network access via 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.
An active internal 3cm fan handles cooling and the company markets it as quiet, a claim that remains questionable given the fan’s size.
The company also offers an optional second USB-powered fan to aid in heat dissipation during extended operation.
The base model of the Youyeetoo NestDisk, with 12 GB of DDR5 memory and 64 GB of eMMC storage, starts at €178 excluding VAT and shipping.
A version that comes with a base 512GB NVMe SSD costs €195, while the 1TB SSD configuration costs €212, again excluding VAT and shipping.
Shipping adds €13, with an additional €8 service charge, bringing the base model’s pre-tax total to €201.30. Adding at least 20% VAT, the total comes to approximately €241.
The company does not specify the import processing fees, which will probably add between €15 and €30 depending on the carrier.
The company handles shipping through services including DHL, FedEx, UPS, EMS and Hong Kong Post, with payments processed through PayPal.
