minisforum MS-01 i9-13900H barebone mini PC

Target workstation use

The minisforum MS-01 is a barebone mini workstation built around an Intel Core i9-13900H processor with 14 cores and 20 threads reaching 5.4 GHz. Integrated Intel Iris Xe graphics run at 1.5 GHz. It suits users who need strong multi-threaded performance in a compact chassis and plan to add their own memory and storage.

Installation notes

The unit arrives without RAM or SSDs, so builders must supply two DDR5 5200 modules up to 96 GB total and at least one M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 drive. A U.2-to-M.2 adapter and an SSD heatsink are included in the box. The FCBGA1744 socket means the CPU cannot be swapped later.

Capacity and headroom

Dual-channel DDR5 supports up to 96 GB for heavy workloads. The M.2 slot handles RAID 0 or RAID 1 and accepts U.2 enterprise drives for capacities of 7.68 TB or 15.36 TB and beyond. Three video outputs — one HDMI at 4K 60 Hz and two USB4 at 8K 30 Hz or 4K 144 Hz — drive multiple displays. Dual 10 Gbps SFP+ ports and two 2.5 Gbps RJ45 ports provide high-throughput networking. Buyers who need discrete GPU power beyond the RTX 3050 class or more than three display outputs should look elsewhere.
