I tried using a gmail.com email address and got a response in a few minutes. They had several things they wanted me to try which I had already done.

I got another email a few days ago asking for my order number. Nothing since then, but it might be due to the Chinese New Year. Has anyone had any response from their tech support team in the past couple of days?

all. I installed two 22110 SSD (micron 7400 pro) in my ms-01 but they are slightly bent due to the standoff at 80mm.
Did anyone run into this issue? I searched this thread unsuccessfully for this issue.

I tried removing the standoff with pliers, no success.

The size of hexagonal sud should be the same as the hexagonal stud connnection with a common screwdriver.
It can be removed with a common multi-purpose screw driver.

When I used Micron 7400 Pro (2280 though) in three MS-01 I had random problems with booting (would hang at boot, but not always), I had to replace them with something else. 3 tested MS-01, 4 tested 7400. The problem happened when they were plugged in, even when not used as boot drive or not in the first M.2 slot.

Replacing them was unavoidable (and planned) anyway, since they run VERY hot even in idle and SMART reported thousands of errors/warnings about heat.

This weird boot/hang problem kept me busy for a few days when initially staging my cluster setup.

I have a baremetal i5 version on order and am looking at what other components to buy. This thread is 95 pages long, so I have not read it all... but are there any recommended SFP+ 10Gbase-T that work well? I need two, one will connect to my Frontier ONT and the other into a Unifi Flex XG 10Gbe switch. Very short cable runs. Looking for low power (which I think is <2.5W now-a-days?) and multi-gig support (ie, just in case I want to plug in 2.5Gbe (or slower).

I will be running Proxmox on the MS-01 and a gateway/router in a VM on that.

Thanks.

I have one one SFP transceiver from 10Gtek (https://www.amazon.fr/dp/B0BG55X2P9) that goes to my box via a short RJ45 cable ; then a DAC (https://www.amazon.fr/dp/B09Q5Y5ZD9) that goes to my LAN switch on the other port. It has been running proxmox wonderfuly for the past 4 months.

TP-Link TL-SM5310-T is what I have in all of mine. A year on now with no failures and no issues. Doesn't seem to make any meaningful impact on the power consumption of the MS-01.

The Minisforum MS-01 certainly ticks all the boxes for a home lab, but one thing I would miss is IPMI. I really like IPMI (like HPE's iLO). I see that the MS-01 supports vPro. I haven't used it, and from what I've seen it seems okay in a bind (with the seemingly beta Commander software). But anyone have any suggestions for IPMI add-on (in addition to possible Raspberry Pi, but wondering if there are other options)?

No problems what so ever with the 10gb nics and esxi 6.7 here.. im melting the box since yesterday night with test copies from lan just to see if it will crash and its rock solid.

Did you have to install any drivers (such as for the built-in 10GbE and 2.5GbE interfaces) to get ESXi 6.7 to work on the MS-01? Or does the generic ESXi 6.7 install recognize the MS-01 hardware?
