MINISFORUM MS-02 Ultra Workstation Mini PC, Intel Core Ultra 9 285HX (24C/24T, up to 5.5GHz), PCIe 5.0 x16, 4× DDR5 Slots, 4× M.2 Slots, USB4 v2 80Gbps, Dual 25GbE+10GbE+2.5GbE, Wi-Fi 7, 350W PSU

Why it's a great deal

• High-Performance AI Processor：The MS-02 Ultra features an Intel Core Ultra 9 285HX (24C/24T, up to 5.5 GHz, 13 TOPS NPU), delivering fast and efficient performance for AI inference, algorithm development, and media workloads. A PCIe x16 expansion slot supports desktop-class GPU upgrades for advanced model training and accelerated computing tasks. It's ideal for creators, engineers, and teams handling intensive parallel workloads.

• PCIe & USB 4.0 v2: Up to three PCIe slots can be equipped, including a dual-slot x16 GPU. The main slot supports PCIe 5.0, meeting the needs of high-bandwidth creative and computing workloads. USB 4.0 v2 (80Gbps) supports high-bandwidth external storage and displays.

• 4 × M.2 PCIe 4.0 + 4 × DDR5 SODIMM slots: Four DDR5 SODIMM slots support up to 256 GB of memory, while ECC helps maintain data integrity in mission-critical environments. Four PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots support up to 24 TB of storage, supporting RAID 0/1/5/10, combining high-speed performance with data protection. It allows for the creation of independent scratch disks, media libraries, and project drives, providing high-throughput for production workflows.

• Ultra-fast Networking: Wi-Fi 7 further enhances wireless performance with next-generation speeds and low-latency stability. Intelligent bandwidth switching optimizes throughput in different network environments, ensuring optimal performance for enterprise or local networks. Dual 25GbE ports (providing up to approximately 3.125 GB/s bandwidth, about 25 times faster than traditional 1GbE), enabling seamless large-scale file transfers and parallel computing. 10GbE and 2.5GbE ports, with support for Intel vPro technology, ensure enterprise-grade remote management and deployment flexibility.

• Server-grade thermal architecture: Utilizing a dedicated CPU/GPU airflow design, equipped with a 6-pipe dual-fan cooler, it maintains stable performance even under sustained loads, delivering up to 140W Turbo power while maintaining a 100W TDP, and operating with noise levels as low as 36 dB. An integrated 350W power supply ensures stable and reliable output for demanding computing tasks and fully loaded extended configurations.

• Enterprise-grade security: Intel vPro combined with BIOS-level KVM enables 24/7 remote management by IT teams. ECC automatic error correction ensures the integrity and stability of mission-critical data. The slide-out design facilitates rapid upgrades, reducing downtime and maintenance costs.

• NOTES: 1. When only half of a memory module is inserted, prioritize inserting it into the two memory slots on the CPU side (Although the memory slots on the CPU side are more difficult to insert or re.move). Otherwise, the system may fail to boot. 2. When purchasing a barebone system, always check the official memory compatibility list. Purchase memory from the list whenever possible to avoid buying memory that failed testing. Buying the wrong memory may prevent the system from booting.
