Hello everyone,
I am looking for a new home server to replace my existing hp proliant microserver gen8.
Requirements:
-
Reduce power consumption. It currently runs at around 60 watts at idle, I would like to reduce that.
-
Enough performance for various docker containers
-
Enough power for 4k HDR video transcoding for a jellyfin container, whether graphics unit in the CPU or an additional graphics card doesn’t matter
-
At least 4 SATA ports and space for 2 m.2 SSDs
-
16GB of RAM is a minimum
It doesn’t have to be a ready-made solution, I have no problem putting everything together myself.
Edit: Budget is ~500€
I don’t know for certain, but I think you’ll ultimately have to decide between either low power consumption or 4k transcoding. I doubt you’ll be able to achieve both.
I get both with one of these
Super low wattage at idle but it transcodes like a beast using QSV
That would be conceivable, but I would like to pack my existing HDDs in a case if possible
