MINISFORUM MS-01-S1260 Mini PC Barebone with Intel Core i5-12600H,vPro Enterprise Support,2x10Gbps SFP+LAN/2x2.5G RJ45/2xUSB4/HDIM/16xPCIe 4.0/M.2 NVMe SSD/U.2 NVMe SSD,Mini Computer(No OS/RAM/SSD)

I purchased this MS-01 on February 20, 2025, and after a few months of use, the unit suddenly failed to power on. At first, I suspected a power supply issue, but after some testing, it became clear the problem was with the device itself. Despite the hardware failure, I have to highlight how exceptional the customer support was. They responded quickly, walked me through the troubleshooting process, and sent a replacement unit without any hassle. The new device is working perfectly. Overall, while I did experience a failure, the quality of support and the way the issue was handled gave me confidence in the product and the company. All the support and assistance were invaluable.

the computer stopped working after 7 months.the support worked really good and sent it to me back. i sent it to the address support requested and they fixed it and sent it back to me. id like to mention Lydia from the service. she did a great job handling the problem. thank u Lydia

I wanted to give my experience wit Minisforum. I had purchased the # MS-01-S1260 back in early June to replace one of my old "shoebox" Proxmox hosts, stuck in a bunch of HDs and 96gb ram and it was working wonderfully. Six weeks in, I had even ordered a second to replace the other host. I powered the first down to move it from a temporary location to it's home. It wouldn't boot. Wouldn't power on. After spending most of a day playing, reading reddit posts, and doing the standard trouble shooting stuff, I gave in and opened a case with Minisforum. I traded emails for a few days. Pictures. Videos. The lag mainly due to our time difference (I am in NY). I the end they did replace the device. I had to send mine into the warehouse in California and the sent me a replacement via Amazon. Dealing with support was painless despite the time lag. I am in IT for 30 years and have more painful RMAs dealing with big companies and 24/7 support. AND even though I had issues, I would recommend the product. It's well thought out and put together. The form factor only has one downside. Heat. Recommendation, If you not going to use the SFP ports, turn them off in the BIOS. This will help with heat and power. Do a google search and you will find plenty of BIOS tweaks to meet your needs. The MS-01 makes a great home server or workstation. If your looking for a gaming PC, look elsewhere. The half height PCI slot and heat mitigation will not work in your favor. Minis has other slightly larger and newer offerings (as do others). Thank you Minisforum PS - If anybody is interested, My Proxmox cluster is 2 x MS-01 (96gb ram, 240gb boot & 2 x 2tb drives for CEPH & 2.5gb for production and 2.5gb for CEPH) with a Mini PC Stick S100 as the 3rd node & witness for HA. The Mini PC Stick S100 is powered over POE on the "camera" switch and will be one of the last to go in a power event. With this in mind, it also runs a backup Pihole LXC.

Works great. I added RAM and an M.2 with no issues. Easy to take apart and reassemble. BIOS picked up the items right away. I also added a 10GB RJ-45 card with no issues. Had some booting problems at first, but after playing with the security features in the BIOS I got OPNSense to load. I am using this as an OPNSense router. Overkill, but it can do anything now, 10GB SFP+, 10GB RJ45, and 2.5GB RJ45 connections. M.2 is fast and plenty of memory. OPNSense works great on this box. It's quiet and the HDMI adapter and usb ports work great with my KVM switch. A great small PC box for anything you need.

Este es un buen computador si lo que se quiere es potencia en algo pequeño y que no consuma mucha energía ni genere mucho ruido

I got the I-5 and did upgrade it to 96GB of RAM. This thing has been solid. The fiber NICs work flawlessly, so does the copper ethernet. Running a fairly bare-bones Arch Linux hypervisor on it, which runs some of my home services. Not had any issues in the year or so since I've gotten it. Highly recommended.

Awesome computer for the price, size is amazing and SFP+ ports work with any adapter.

There are enough reviews all over that I don't need to explain the technical details of this machine, or some of the quirks. Suffice it to say it rocks, and provides incredible features for the price. Mine is running a DIY TrueNAS with a separate DAS plus quite a few apps and it's been rock solid. Intel based means Plex HW transcoding works great, and this is also extremely well equipped for custom router (pfSense/OPNsense) duties too.

Solo la memoria no corre a mas de 4800MT/s de ahi en fuera todo bien
