MS-02 Ultra

Some other cool options at 3-4L are: •Lenovo Thinkstation P360 Ultra or P3 ultra •HP Z2 Mini G9 worktation But again, the same rule applies here: only if you can find them second hand or refurbished (for a reasonable price). Because new ones are always ridiculously expensive. If you don't need a nam

Minisforum MS-A2 has 2xSFP+ & the MS-02 Ultra has 2xSFP28 SFP+! They also have a single slot half height PCI slot. The MS-02 Ultra definitely fits your bill as it has 4 or 5 nvme slots? 2 are built into the SFP28 adapter.

I don't consider the MS-02 Ultra to be the same class of device. I replaced a 3-node MS-01 cluster with MS-02 Ultras (three 285HX units). It was a not insignificant upgrade in performance, thermal competency, and expandability, and the first SFF cluster that felt like it rivaled my retired rack unit

I just got the MINISFORUM MS-02 Ultra Workstation Mini PC w Intel Core Ultra 5 235HX barebones. It's a 1 Liter form factor and you can add the MSI Gaming RTX 3050 LP 6G to it or Intel ARC Low Profile GPU. I like this larger than usual MiniPC for its cooling, relative silence, connectivity, and expan

Hmm, I'm using Pop!OS for my AI/Graphics workstation. HW -> Minisforum MS-02 Ultra i9 with 96 gb ram and an Nvidia SFF RTX Pro 4000 (24 GB Vram). Works like a charm. The RTX is only doing compute / comfyIU or rendering in Blender / Cycles. There is no screen connected to the RTX. A LG curved 5K scre

Hmm, if no there is no restriction on money I really can recommend the Minisforum MS-02 Ultra i9.This machine is a monster in the sub 5l class (4.8 liter). For your usecase I would go with 64 GB of RAM. I know ram is expensive at the moment. But your wife will love this amound of memory.

If the Arc B50 Pro has to live inside the box, the MINISFORUM MS 02 Ultra Workstation Mini PC makes sense. It has the PCIe and 350W PSU shape, but I would still verify SR IOV before buying.

I was considering the MS-02 Ultra and in fact obtained 64GB of DDR5 Sodimm already but hold on to the idea after I saw a few posts about Minisforum quality control issues.

There are GPUs like the RTX 4000 Blackwell, which even has 24 GB of VRAM. The question for me is more like how well other cards with the same form factor fit into the case. Minisforum now somehow has the bad habit of selling any PCI cards instead of really selling pure barebones. My MS-02 Ultra has

I think it's the only model on market in M.2 format. Price is normal for any 10Gb card right now. As a note MINISFORUM MS-S1 Max and MS-02 ULTRA have build in 2x ports using this chipset, but it's not an M.2 module. Works fine in Windows and Linux kernel 6.17 and higher.
