Minisforum MS-01 : Confused about bifurcation

hello all,

I was for some reason under the impression that the latest bios update added 4x4x4x4 bifurcation to the MS-01.

Minisforum tells me that the MS-01 does not support bifurcation at all, and the only model that does support it is the AS-02 which is sold out / much more expensive.

Can anyone confirm this? If so - how did you enable bifurcation in the bios.

First of all welcome to the forum!

Second, if I remember correctly the Intel Core line only supports bifurcation at 8x4x4. I believe that 4x4x4x4 is reserved for their Xeon Scalable line. The MS-A2 has an AMD chip which should be the reason that that particular model supports it.

Minisforum told me the MS-01 does not support it. I do not see anything in the bios for any settings or anything.

Even if I can get 8x4x4 - that would work for my situation. But - Cannot find the setting in the bios. And when I plug the card in, obviously - I see one drive only.

Looks like Minisforum has chosen to not support any bifurcation in the BIOS for the MS-01. If you need it then it’s a good plan to look elsewhere as they may not have any plans on implementing it.
