Minisforum support is useless – need PLP NVMe recommendations for Proxmox ZFS mirror on MS-A2
I have used the Micron 7400 Max 2280 and Micron 7450 Pro in 2280 format. Excellent drives but not suitable for this form factor. Cautionary note: these drives run EXTREMELY HOT as they are designed for server airflow and power envelopes. These drives will not fare well in the closed environment of t

$400 Mini that works with m2 Oculink adapter
I can absolutely recommend DeskMini x600/USB4 (or without USB4 as well). see my post . I would like to say, that I've initially got MS-A1, with the 8700G inside. I did not like the noise level of CPU fan, even for the most basic tasks, copying files or browsing. I mean, those fan is ridiculously sma

MS-A1 + 9800X3D + Oculink experience
Effectively what you have is an expensive deconstructed ITX desktop that takes up MORE desk space, but with poorer cooling and CPU power limits imposed by the small form factor chassis along with the inherent downsides of Oculink as a display connection technology. I'm a fan of the MS-A1 on it's own

Minisforum MS-A1- Issues
Good morning. I have an AMD 9700X Minisforum MS-A1 mini PC. The bios has been updated to version 1.07. How can I reduce the voltage of the AMD 9700X processor? There are no settings in the bios, the Ryzen Master is pared down and does not work, everything is fixed. Is there any other way to make an

[Review] GMKtec EVO X2 – A Beast on Paper, a Bit of a Mess in Practice
That's true, but we will lose the second NVME slot. If there were three NVME slots like the MS-A1 or A2, it would have been better. But I agree - given that this device can perform close to a 4060 (at least the mobile chip), if one were to invest in an eGPU it would be something in 50x series and it

People with Minisforum MS-01 or MS-A1 Mini PCs, how has it been?
In my opinion they're in a weird spot right now (looking strictly at them as hypervisors). MS-01: Incredible value with vPRO for remote console, but the big.LITTLE Intel CPU is terrible for virtualization. I believe Proxmox is the only hypervisor that doesn't throw a fit when it's got efficiency and

MiniPC choice - Photography Studio, Admin system
Due to reputation & build quality, Minisform no longer finds the respect they once received on this subReddit. Native SFF-8612 i4 OCuLink has given way to brands akin to GMKtec, where the MS-A1 provides SFF-8612, the MS-A1 doesn't. The AI X1 Pro use greater heat dissipation/reduced bandwidth SODIMM

MS-A1 questions
I like my 4 ms01's, each with two sk-hynix 2tb ssd's that stay nice and cool, and I use the thunderbolt interfaces for egpu's for transcoding. I was eager for the amd version because I want ECC ram, but unfortunately the ms-a1's not only lack ECC, but they also lack thunderbolt. I have zero interest
