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)

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.

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.

I originally tried to buy 3 via their official store, but they seemed unwilling or unable to ship after WEEKS (and then also unable/unwilling to cancel until I threatened a chargeback). This sales/support experience will be important later. So I ended up get 3 from Amazon (with next-day delivery!) for the same price as direct from their store. These little systems are real powerhouses. I have all three (i5 barebones) setup as a Proxmox cluster with Ceph (using 64GB of RAM, 2x 8TB NVME drives for Ceph storage, and a smaller SSD for the OS), and making real good use out of the dual 10Gb SFP+ ports. These have been GREAT... except when one of them failed a month later (while I was on a 2-week vacation). Now, this wasn't an issue (everything that was running on them came up on the other two in the cluster). And when I said "dead", I mean no lights, nothing. And replacing the power brick did not resolve the issue, so it was something with the power components on the board itself. Given my experience with their sales support, I bought a 4th (on Amazon) before attempting RMA of the broken unit. But it turns out, other than them trying to tell me to use a pin to press the non-existent reset button, their post-sales return/RMA process wasn't too bad, though I did have to pay for the return shipping (~$16). But they were quick to agree to replace it, and gave me a shipping address to send it to, and the replacement was shipped out the day after it was received. I've ended up using the 4th now for a desktop (replacing my 12-year-old desktop), with 10Gb fiber connection back to the rack for access to the Ceph storage pool. So so far, 1/4 died after 1 month of use, but their RMA support is pretty good, even if their site sales support was VERY poor. In all, I'm pretty happy with these for my homelab. They only take about 55W each and are more than sufficient for their workloads. And they're quiet. All around really good systems, and the option for an i9 (which supports up to 96GB of RAM) is available for those needing more power. And all for a really good price (really, the 2x8TB SSDs were the most expensive part of the project). So in general, I can definitely recommend these, especially if buying on Amazon (or at least not the OEM's official site)... especially if you need (or can use) 10GbE networking.

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.

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

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

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.

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