For storage, it features two M.2 slots with PCIe 4.0 x4 support, each capable of housing SSDs up to 2 TB. Despite its compact ITX format, the BD895i SE is equipped with a full-fledged PCIe 5.0 x16 slot for discrete graphics cards. Additionally, it offers HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4, USB-C, multiple USB Type-A ports, and audio jacks.

The board supports output to three displays simultaneously and comes with a proprietary heatsink for the processor. The new model is available for DIY system builders (excluding RAM and SSD) priced at $425. Looking ahead, Minisforum may release a variant with an even more powerful Ryzen 9 9955HX3D.

AMD’s anticipated Ryzen 9 9955HX3D is expected to feature enhanced performance metrics, including improved thermal design and efficiency, aligning with the latest needs of power users and gamers. The version with this processor could offer significant improvements in multi-threading tasks.

In a recent announcement, Minisforum hinted at further diversifications within their product range in 2025, potentially expanding their lineup of compact high-performance computing solutions, thus maintaining a competitive edge in the evolving tech landscape.
