nanohits Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Hi guys, Thinking of getting this server for my home which will run Plex mainly but other things like home automation, cameras etc. Intel E5-2660 V4 (14 cores) 128GB Memory DDR4 32TB SATA drives (8 X 4) 10Gb port 1TB USB SSD drive Thoughts?

KingfisherUK Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 My server runs on an E5-2650L v4 (14-core, 1.7GHz), 64GB RAM with 7 x 18TB and dual 1TB M.2 cache. That is running Plex, multiple *arrs, Home Assistant etc. and it barely breaks a sweat (I do have a nVidia Quadro P400 for transcoding though). Quote Link to comment

I think for 1 user for Plex transcoding even in 4K, 14 cores is more than enough. Quote Link to comment
taylorjdunn Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 (edited) Hi Nanohits, I found this thread as I was searching if a similar pre-built server would fit my needs. It has dual E5-2660 v4 CPUs and the same amount of RAM as your setup. I saw that the chips don't include iGPUs, have you found issues with transcoding 4k streams? Thanks!
