The MS-A1 felt like it would be a Ryzen-based MS-01, therefore the perfect homelab server? However, it’s not! It’s still built to the same high quality with some clever design features, but I can’t help feeling that it’s a missed opporuntity. It still makes for a decent platform on a budget, but there’s likely a better fit, chiefly the MS-01.
