Shuttle XPC slim DA320 Robust 1.3-litre Mini PC for AMD Review

Others/All-in-one PC by stefan @ 2021-02-14

The 1.3-litre XPC slim DA320 mini PC from Shuttle is the company’s first AMD compact barebone and features most of the connectivity options we have seen with the Intel variants. The chassis is not the latest design as the DH470, meaning that we do not get USB Type-C ports, the new frontal panel or air filters on the top cover but all other aspects do match the previous barebone SKU. In terms of performance with a similarly priced Intel CPU (such as the i3-10100), the AMD Ryzen 5 2400G does fall a bit behind regarding CPU performance, but simply destroys the Intel platform when looking at the GPU scores.

The BIOS Part I

The DA320 barebone comes with a regular Aptio Setup Utility, so no mouse or fancy graphics here; the main section does show the currently flashed UEFI details, installed CPU, memory but we can also adjust the system date and time:

The Advanced area comes with some sub-menus:

The CPU Configuration area allows the user to configure C-states, enable/disable the boost, allow to have one, two or three cores on and disable the rest, enable/disable virtualization and more!

The SATA Configuration area will display the currently connected storage devices but also choose the operating mode for the SATA controller:

The USB ports can be enabled/disabled individually as well:

From the OnBoard Device Configuration menu, we are able to enable/disable all available controllers, including serial ports and the card reader:
