I have three 4TB Silicon Power Gen 4x4 UD90 running, no problem.

Consolidated list of GPU cards that are known to work ?
Having read all all the comments (starting weeks ago) and not making a note of graphic cards that work I was hoping if anyone of you can direct me to where they have shown up or just a list of the cards.
What is the theoretical power limit of the PCIe slot (I saw STH article that when a GPU card is installed the CPU power is reduced). I was wondering about the use of an RTX A2000 with the aftermarket heat sink…
If I remember someone listed a power supply larger than 180W, anyone using a larger one?
For those interested in delivery of MS-01s I placed my order back on January 20th and canceled it last week, I received a new one from Amazon from their second delivery – I got it in five days from the time I placed the order. So, I now have an MS-01. I received one from the first shipment that Amazon had and the first boot for that unit never happened – I know about waiting for the first boot but mine just never happened. My second one did not take very long and seems to be working well with 96GB of RAM (Crucial).
I have reestablished an order again with MinisForum for the second time. At least while I wait, I will have one to work with.
I would appreciate it if someone could provide me with a list of working graphic cards. Thanks.

Hi All,
Is anyone experiencing the m.2 slots (not the one with u.2) are dropping the NVME drives randomly? I have two Samsung PM983 4TB drives in that slot and they are dropping randomly and no longer show up in the bios either. I was planning to run a chkdsk, but its not even visible. Thanks

I have not seen anything like that happen. Sounds like faulty NVME? Are both NVMEs disappearing or just one that is in supposedly faulty M.2 slot? What if you swap the drive location?
anything in the pci-e slot? I haven't had nvme drives drop out but had an issue with half the ram going missing until I tape the smbus pins on the pcie nvme adapter I was using
I am searching for a solution to install a WWAN module in place of the WiFi adapter in my device. Currently, the PCIe slot is occupied by a 2.5G network card. I prefer not to use a USB 4G/5G adapter due to security concerns. Is there any converter or module available that can replace the WiFi adapter and fit into the MS-01 slot? I plan to use 4G/5G as a secondary internet service, and WiFi is not essential for my machine when it functions as a server.
Thanks @GreenAvacado and @cloudhax I need to do some additional investigations. I was playing around with it a bit more yesterday and one of the drives was working as expected yesterday. The other, i'll probably need to pull it out and run some tests on it. Will test out a different drive in the slot when i get home from work (if its not too late). The PCI-e slot has no issues, has another NVME drive there, works fine.
Thanks for your ideas!
Thanks for your ideas!
Mine arrived finally on last satturday, but it doesn't POST :/
I'm using two brand new Crucial 48GB modules. Those should work, right?
I already tried swapping the slots/using one module only, but nothing helped
The only thing I'm missing is a M.2 SSD, since it will arrive tomorrow. But I don't think, that I need a SSD installed for the unit to POST.
Does anybody have any ideas? After 2+ months of waiting, I just hope my unit is not faulty

Like this?
Note that I couldn't actually find anything for the A/E key needed for the WiFi card, this is for the standard B Key.
Amazon Availability:
I cancelled my order last week with Minisforum after being told my order would ship end of May now. I'm glad I cancelled. They are loading up with Amazon Prime availability all day today! I first ordered an MS-01 this morning that would be available to me next week. Then, more became available where I could order and have a unit by this Friday. I just checked again, and now I can have a unit delivered by Wednesday! It was a game of cancelling and re-ordering today
ProxMox and PfSense/OPNsense:
I hope this MS-01 works better than my MOGINSOK device. What I'm trying to do is install ProxMox and then PfSense in a VM as my router. I have an SFP+ stick from my ISP that I want to plug directly into the MS-01. However, when I tried installing ProxMox/PfSense on my MOGINSOK device, my PfSense VM went to 100% CPU when performing speed tests.
Has anyone successfully installed ProxMox and then PfSense on their MS-01 and achieve normal CPU utilization when doing a speed test? I have 2Gig fiber Internet.

Amazon 13900H kit is more expensive on Amazon $864 vs $829 thru Minisforum at least here in USA. 12900H which I want is still back-ordered on Amazon 1-2 months shipping delay. Same as Minisforum. You got me excited for nothing. I'll just wait I guess.Amazon Availability:

I thought mine wouldn't POST. I took out the RAM and SSD. Tried again, nothing.Mine arrived finally on last satturday, but it doesn't POST :/

Put both back (2TB Samsung and 96GB Mudhkin) turned it on and waited.
Took it a bit but it POSTed.
Not sure why but the first turn on seems like it takes forever.
This has been enough of a problem that they had to put a card in the box!
Well it was unfortunate enough, there are bends on the backbone of the machine, I suppose either DHL or MS factory did it(how?), preventing the shroud from sliding.

Going to return and ask for a refund, will see how it goes.
Did manage to boot the machine, and the micron 2x48g kit works with the 12900H model.

Thanks, will try to give it some time as you suggested. Lets see if half an hour helps.
I'll try it first without the SSD, since I will get it later this evening..
Will report back what (if it) worked.
