Send the 7th Gen and better ones to me for plex servers.

J5005 is a transcoding hero, just point it at a NAS and away you go.

Why am I just learning about this $80 thin system right now?

My current server runs around 80 watts idle,but it's also my gaming pc. I'd love to replace it with something dedicated that can handle direct streaming 4k with the occasional transcode around the house, at less wattage.

Why not a N100 though? Faster, lower TDP, and it's built in graphics supports hardware AV1 decoding (J5005 doesn't).

Cost. You can pick up a j5005 machine for $35 on eBay.

Yea, that's what I'm seeing. $200 for an N100 based machine , $80 for a j5005. CAD with shipping.

N100 is technically superior, but my use case is the *arr suite with plex, NAS attached so the j5005 will likely suit no problem.

My ASRock J4125b performes quite well too... 😎😜
