For people with high server memory requirements, we now have the popular Mini-PC from Minisforum in our range with the maximum possible RAM configuration.
If you like tinkering with your home lab or want to set up your own server or NAS system, you may be familiar with the mini PCs from Minisforum. The devices offer an excellent basis for such projects due to their flexibility.
A few weeks ago, we added the «MS-A2-9955» with 64 gigabytes of RAM to our range. One user requested the device with 96 gigabytes of RAM - and here it is.
Mini PC with AMD's mobile flagship CPU
As the product name suggests, this is the second generation of the mini server with AMD CPU from Minisforum. The Ryzen 9 9955HX, a powerful, energy-saving mobile Zen 5 processor with 16 cores, is installed in the employees. This is currently one of the best CPUs for this device class. It has a maximum power consumption of 100 watts. You can clock it up to 5.4 gigahertz.
However, this processor does not have an NPU for faster AI calculations and a powerful graphics core. The integrated GPU is only sufficient for simple image output. If you need more graphics performance, you can theoretically upgrade it.
Versatile connection options
The two 10 Gigabit SFP+ slots on the rear make the «MS-A2-9955» a versatile server option. This allows you to implement network connections of various types: whether via copper cable, fibre optics or a direct 10 Gigabit point-to-point connection. The small PC can therefore also be integrated into professional networks. Two 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet connections are also available.
In addition, the «MS-A2-9955» offers two 10 Gigabit USB-C slots, which you can also use as a monitor connection like the HDMI port. There are also four USB 3 ports and one USB 2 port available (all type A).
In the housing, which is made of metal except for the front, you will find a PCIe x16 slot. You can use this for a single-slot low-profile GPU to polish up the graphics if required. However, the connection is actually intended for additional network or storage equipment. For example, you can enable 25 gigabit transmission performance or upgrade the «MS-A2-9955» to a storage server with more M.2 SSD memory.
For wireless communication, the Mini-PC offers Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2 and measures around 20 × 19 × 5 centimetres. You can install Windows or Linux on it.
