Minisforum MS-01 Work Station, 3 NVMe per host
These are my notes on adding 2 NVMe to my Intel Core i9-13900H / 32GB RAM + 1TB SSD bundle nodes. In the process, the bundled 1TB NVMe has the cooler removed and is moved to the 3.0 x2 slot.

I purchased five Minisforum MS-01 Work Station, specifically the Intel Core i9-13900H / 32GB RAM + 1TB SSD bundle from their German store (simply because I live in Germany) to replace my ageing F5-422 Ceph nodes.

When I built my Ceph cluster in March 2020, I used old SATA HDDs I still had on the shelf. It was always clear that at some point these old consumables would die and need replacing. That time has come and I went with 3x 2TB SATA SSD OSD per node.
