The Minisforum MS-01 is one of the most talked about and requested products for me to take a look at in quite some time. Inside this tiny little box, there’s an Intel Core i9-13900H 14-Core Raptor Lake CPU, DDR5 Memory, 3x m.2 NVMe…

I can order the ms-01 barebone or with 32 Gb ram an an ssd but they are not telling me what the specs of these are… does anyone know what type of ram and ssd it comes with?
Now this in my Homelab would be a nice upgrade

Surpassing video 👍 thank you.
MS-O1 looks very interesting.
We all want more PCIe lanes.
I personally want to keep working towards a vintage threadripper system while not get sidetracked by other opportunities, even highly compelling ones like MS-01.
Kindest regards, friends and neighbours.
Great review. Can't wait for mine to ship!!
This is awesome. This will also works great with my 7 slots PCIe Magma expansion chassis, if I need to do some heavier lifting.
Pre-ordered mine in December, hoping it would get somewhat good reviews! Still waiting to see it!!! Proxmox soon! Thanks!
Well Done Jeff …😎👍
how can this be a homelab device considering the problems hypervisors have with the efficiency cores?
I would add an SAS HBA and connect to my KTN-STL3.. would save me quite a bit of power compared to my 2011-3 system I have today.
What a cool lil box!
The only thing that is missing is IPMI. Could that be done somehow without sacrificing the PCIE slot?
Btw Hardware haven also Reviews this and it one of the Port has a Limited Management Port 🙂
You could even run standalone openshift on it. It needs at least 8 physical cores.
I've been trying to figure out what nvidia gpu's are properly detected in this mini pc – because I've been wanting something like this for a homelab over this past year (i've been planning a homelab build, and this just saved me a ton of power bill $).
Did you ever get the T series Quadros to work? and if not, were there any bios updates that might improve compatibility?
Gotta tell ya, Jeff, i love your tech content…but what's really strange is that I am a total non-drinker, yet your beer reviews are totally compelling and I'm always curious to watch them as a great "hook" on the end. Here's a good Root Beer backatcha. 👍
I would have bought this thing a month ago but I needed a full height pcie slot for a specific card. I was also pretty tempted to go with their mobile on desktop itx motherboard with 16 core ryzen, but I ended up finding a better deal on an asrock z690m itx board with two nics and a 12900k. I know the smaller form factor is popular, but I'd love to see more systems like this that are 1 or 2 u rack mountable systems that are shallow depth (under 13 inches). They would be extremely useful in the audio/video fields.
lovely but ~1000+ $ 1000+ € on amazon -> hell no. absolutely no.
It might be fun to try out one of those Oculink PCIE cards and a cheap doc to add a GPU to this system. Just to give you some idea of what would happen if they made the case just slightly bigger next time.
imagine a fleet of these in a cluster.. my god
I really wish it was a little taller. I would LOVE to put my RTX 4000 SFF in it
There are mxm to pci e adapters. But the gpus often come at a hefty upcharge compared to desktop models from what I've seen. If it would even work
I assume you could stack
3x next to each other into 1ru? If yes it would be the perfect cluster. Or a stacked Tower to keep in the corner on a desk.
I like Minisforum as they make very solid mini-PCs but their BIOS sucks. Not much options compared to others like Beelink. Minisforum is also notorious for not offering BIOS/firmware updates for a lot of their mini-PCs. My Minisforum HX90 still has not a single BIOS update since I got it. I hope they improve on this.
can you show me how to completely remove the motherboard?
This pc is listing @ 1,000 bucks everywhere. Where did you get your pricing from?
maybe an mxm to pcie adapter board for the laptop rtx card ??… how the hell you'd cool it is a another problem
