mmcato Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 Is there a good guide for home NAS servers that are low power usage. I need it powerful enough to be able to handle PLEX with a few users. I'm mainly looking for CPU/motherboard recommendations. Quote Link to comment
aburgesser Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 Need more specifics: Is this just a Plex host or is it also responsible for storage? How much storage? Do you need live transcoding? Regardless, this topic comes up regularly. Please do a search first. A good low effort starting place is a i3 Intel ITX system with no extension cards: Intel iGPUs have decent hardware transcoding ITX boards have less real estate to power Quote Link to comment
