Shuttle XPC slim DS50U7 Barebone Review

Others/All-in-one PC by stefan @ 2024-11-03

The DS50U7 barebone from Shuttle did impress us in terms of performance, considering we are talking about a fanless design. PL1 is limited to 15W, while PL2 is limited to 17W, while in the case of the ECS LIVA Z5 Plus with active cooling and the i5-1335U SoC, we noted PL1 set at 20W and PL2 set at 39W, which is considerably higher; despite that, we see the i7-1355U winning in some cases, due to the implementation of DDR5 memory, higher boost on the iGPU clock, more execution units, but also a higher boost on the CPU, helping quite a bit in low to medium loads, a situation which is frequently found when using the device like 90% of the time.

Product Features

100% fanless

Energy-saving technology combined with an ingenious cooling system mean no fans are required. No operating noise at all, fewer moving parts and therefore lower maintenance costs too.

Wired remote starting

This model features a remote power-on connection. Any two-pin cable can be used to connect dedicated buttons via pins on the back and they then allow the machine to be started remotely.

Two network connections

This feature is particularly beneficial for vital network applications. It includes a 2.5 Gbit/s Ethernet connection and an additional gigabit connection, enabling physically separate networks and providing ample bandwidth overall.

Up to 96 GB of DDR5 RAM

Modern professional applications consume a particularly large amount of memory. With up to 96 GB of RAM, this mini PC can handle any demanding task.

Add-ons via M.2 module

Three M.2 slots enable expansion with storage media and additional modules, such as for Wi-Fi or 5G. Thanks to the PCI Express connection, large amounts of data can be transported quickly via the M.2 slot.

2× M.2-2280 for NVMe/SATA SSDs

1× M.2-2230 for a Wi-Fi module or similar

Space for a 2.5" drive

As a complement to an NVMe SSD, this model also offers a home to classic data storage devices in 2.5" format*. Hard disks and SSDs in this format offer many terabytes of storage space.

(*Up to a height of 9.5 mm)

Serial port

The classic among the interfaces. COM ports are still needed for professional applications, for example in cash register systems and in products from the fields of science and industry.

Great flexibility in the choice of screens

Three different graphics outputs, with both digital and analogue signals, offer great flexibility in the choice of display. This model has an HDMI 2.0, DisplayPort and VGA connection.

Anti-theft protection

The Kensington security slot on the side of the case (also called K-Slot or Kensington Lock) serves as an anti-theft device. Suitable security solutions in various designs are available from specialist dealers.

External antenna connections

Two RP-SMA antenna connections are pre-installed on the rear of the device. Internal WLAN modules can be connected quickly thanks to the MHF IV cables already in the housing.
