【Service】: MINISFORUM aims to become a leading innovator and manufacturer of mini PCs. Our products offer our customers the highest satisfaction and reliability and impress with their strong performance despite their compact size. MINISFORUM provides a three-year limited warranty on every Mini PC from the date of purchase to ensure a smooth user experience. If you have any questions about the product, please contact us. We offer you professional 24-hour customer service before and after purchase.
Triple display connection: the MINISFORUM MS-R1 mini workstation supports up to three 4K displays via HDMI 2.0 (up to 4K at 60 Hz) and two USB-C ports (Alt DP 1.4) (up to 4K at 120 Hz). The connection of three displays increases your productivity by using multiple workspaces. It is the ideal choice for designers, video editors, programmers and financial experts.
The first mini PC with UEFI boot: The MINISFORUM MS-R1 is equipped with an ARM-based CP8180 processor (12C/12T, 2.6 GHz, up to 45 tops) and supports UEFI boot. This enables highly parallel virtualization in Proxmox and KVM environments. As the first ARM mini workstation with UEFI boot, it is enough to write, install and launch the ISO file to a USB stick. It is the ideal platform for teaching, lab research and edge AI projects.
LPDDR5 ECC support: The mini PC MS-R1 is optimally designed for containerised and docker-based Android VMs and supports up to 64GB ECC LPDDR5 memory (maximum 5500MHz). (When ECC is enabled, the available storage capacity is reduced by about one eighth.) It supports PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 2280/22110 (up to 8TB) and comes with an adapter card for flexible expansion to U.2 or additional NVMe solutions, allowing unlimited storage scalability.
Expandable Memory: The MS-R1 mini desktop computer supports PCIe half-height form factor and a standard PCIe x16 slot (physical x16, signal x8), allowing flexible expansion with graphics cards, network cards or U.2 memory. Whether for hardware experiments or system expansions, the MS-R1 opens up new possibilities for the ARM platform.
Efficient heat dissipation: With only 1.7 litres of volume and a TDP of 28 W, the MS-R1 mini PC works under 40 dB and offers workstation level performance. Its advanced cooling system integrates triple copper heatpipes, a turbine fan, aerodynamic vortex channels and phase change thermal materials - precision-engineered for stable power in a compact chassis.
Dual 10G Lan+Wifi6e+Bluetooth 5.3: The MS-R1 mini computer is equipped with two RTL8127 10GbE ports and Wi-Fi 6E + Bluetooth 5.3 (RZ616) and provides seamless wired and wireless performance for high-speed data, routing and network-intensive workloads.
