More Built Into One Slot

Built for More Storage Scenarios

Workstation Storage Expansion

Workstation Storage Expansion

Add up to four NVMe SSDs through one PCIe slot for video projects, AI datasets, virtual machines, cache, and large working files. More high-speed storage. Less internal compromise.

Large Local Storage

Large Local Storage

Connect up to four SATA 3.0 HDDs through OCuLink for backups, archives, media libraries, and capacity-focused storage. NVMe for speed. SATA for scale.

High-Speed External Storage

High-Speed External Storage

USB-C delivers up to 20Gbps for external SSDs and other compatible high-speed devices. Fast data access, built right into the card.

Homelab & Server Builds

Homelab & Server Builds

Combine NVMe, SATA, and USB expansion in one PCIe slot for compact servers, storage nodes, and Homelab systems. Turn one PCIe slot into a flexible storage hub.

Two Ways to Build Your Storage
ESP4B dynamically distributes PCIe bandwidth according to the number of installed NVMe SSDs, giving you the choice between higher per-drive bandwidth and greater storage density.

FAQ & Support

  • Q1: How long does it take to process and ship my order?

    A: Shipping times depend on whether your order is a pre-order or in-stock. Pre-orders will be processed and shipped based on the actual date the goods arrive at our warehouse.


    For in-stock orders, they are typically processed within 2–3 business days. We primarily ship via DHL, and a tracking number will be emailed to you once your package has left our warehouse.

  • Q2: Do I need to pay customs duties or taxes?

    A: If your shipping address is within the EU: No additional customs fees are required. Minisforum will handle all customs formalities in advance.


    If your shipping address is outside the EU: We recommend paying the €30 "Duty-Free Shipping" fee. By doing so, Minisforum will cover any customs duties or taxes incurred during transit.

  • Q1: Can I return the product if I simply change my mind?

    A: Yes, returns due to personal preference are accepted within 30 days, provided the device is unopened and in pristine condition. Please note that return shipping costs for non-defective items are the buyer's responsibility.
  • Q2: What is your return policy for this product?

    A: You may request a refund within 30 days of product delivery (the delivery date is determined by the tracking number record). Requests made after 30 days are eligible for repair or replacement services only.
  • Q1: What is the purpose of this expansion card?

    A: The ESP4B-850 PCIe Expansion Card is a PCIe expansion card that adds NVMe M.2 SSD expansion interfaces to compatible systems via the host motherboard's PCIe slot, providing additional data connectivity.
  • Q2: Which PCIe slot does the ESP4B-850 PCIe Expansion Card need to be installed in?

    A: The host system must provide a PCIe 4.0 x4 or higher slot to achieve full performance. The ESP4B-850 PCIe Expansion Card is backward compatible with PCIe 3.0 slots, but in this case, the operating bandwidth of all M.2 slots will be downgraded to PCIe 3.0.
  • Q3: What SSDs are supported by the M.2 interfaces on the ESP4B-850 PCIe Expansion Card?

    A: The ESP4B-850 PCIe Expansion Card is designed to connect compatible M.2 2280 NVMe SSDs. It is not a SATA M.2 adapter card; please confirm that your SSD uses the NVMe protocol and meets the size requirements before installation.
  • Q4: How is PCIe bandwidth allocated when multiple SSDs are installed on the ESP4B-850 PCIe Expansion Card?

    A: On the ESP4B-850 PCIe Expansion Card, SSD1/SSD2 operate at PCIe 4.0 x4 only when neither SSD3 nor SSD4 is installed. Once an SSD is installed in either the SSD3 or SSD4 slot (including scenarios where only 3 drives are installed), all slots are downgraded to PCIe 4.0 x2.
  • Q5: Which models can the ESP4B-850 PCIe Expansion Card be installed in?

    A: The models officially tested and completed by Minisforum include: MS-A2, MS-01, MS-01 SE, N5, N5 Pro, and MS-03. Theoretically, any MINISFORUM device equipped with a PCIe 4.0 x4 slot can support the ESP4B-850 PCIe Expansion Card. Since hardware configurations may vary across different models, it is recommended to verify the interface specifications of your specific model before purchasing or installing.
  • Q6: What functions are supported by the USB-C port on the ESP4B-850 PCIe Expansion Card?

    A: The USB-C port on the ESP4B-850 PCIe Expansion Card supports USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 data transfer at up to 20Gbps and can provide 5V/3A power output.
  • Q7: Does the ESP4B-850 PCIe Expansion Card support SATA hard drive expansion?

    A: The ESP4B-850 PCIe Expansion Card features one onboard OCuLink port and includes an OCuLink to 4×SATA 3.0 data cable in the package, allowing for the expansion of 4 SATA HDDs. SATA power cables must be supplied by the customer.
  • Q1: What kind of warranty is included with this product?

    A: All MINISFORUM new products come with a 24-month (2-year) standard warranty covering manufacturing defects. (Refurbished items carry a 1-year warranty).
  • Q2: How do I get technical support if I encounter an issue?

    A: We provide technical support. You can reach our dedicated support team via the "Contact Us" page or by emailing our official support address. We typically respond within 24-48 business hours.
