Minisforum MS-S1 MAX Review
I'm still annoyed at how Minisforum names these MS-XX units. They don't have any continuity. MS-01: Intel, mobile CPU MS-A1: AMD, desktop CPU MS-A2: AMD, mobile CPU MS-S1: AMD, mobile CPU, AI Why was MS-A2 using a mobile CPU? Wouldn't it have been better if they named it something else and kept MS-A

Windows 11 install speed difference between Dell R630 vs Miniforum MS-A1
List it on locally or eBay as the R630 vintage still has some value. To be fair the R630 can do things that the MS-A1 can't do. It has a lot of PCIe lanes, it can run 1.5TB of ECC RAM and many drives, along with iDRAC for remote management. It's more about using the right tool for the job.

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

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

$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

Curious - is it all just about efficiency?
I have a small space to host my environment. It has to live under the stairs with not much in the way of ventilation, so low power and low heat is the priority. Partner doesn't like noise, so low fans too. I have in fact recently downgraded and downsized too. I used to have an MS-A1 with an Oculink

MS-A1 9950x
The MS-A1 limits the 9950X so it is not ideal. I have another 9950X in a full-size gaming desktop and performance is much better.
