It looks like a nice small form factor server. The biggest bummer about it is that all 3 M.2 slots have different speeds, PCIe 4.0x4, PCIe 3.0x4, and PCIe 3.0x

The biggest bummer about it is that all 3 M.2 slots have different speeds, PCIe 4.0x4, PCIe 3.0x4, and PCIe 3.0x2.
If you're going to do raid across them, you're going to end up with the performance of the slowest of them.
- Saris 3y agoWith 10GbE networking would it even matter much? You'll be capped at 1,250MB/s by the network, so PCIe 3.0 x2 will still be enough for that.
- Firerouge 3y agoMinisforum is actually advertising it as being a 65Gbit capable machine. Using link aggregation, presumably, you could do a lot better than just 10Gbit as a NAS. > The MS-01 is capable of building a high-speed network experience with two 10Gbps SFP+ LAN ports, two 2.5Gbps RJ45 LAN ports, and two USB4 ports, providing a total maximum Ethernet throughput of 65Gbps. Network throughput isn't necessarily the bottleneck though, if you're running a database that needs to do a lot of lookups and concatenation for each query, you could still be bottleneck by the 3.0 x2 while still having headroom on the 10GbE
- Saris 3y agoFair, although I feel like if you're doing that level of IO you probably want actual enterprise hardware or something.
