It’s old but fairly beefy. Most of the RAM is reserved for ZFS reads, but in reality theres tons of headroom.
CPU: 2x E5-2630L v2 Motherboard: Intel S2600CP RAM: 8x8GB DDR3 1333 ECC Disk:
- 1x 500GB SSD OS
- 1x 500GB SSD ZFS cache (L2ARC)
- 45TB ZFS Mirror+Stripe pool (various sizes, 8 disks)
I’ll probably be moving this to a cluster of mini computers whenever prices look right, just for power efficiency.

I will add, what helped me the most with Plex/Jellyfin load was using Tdarr to normalize my library’s formats into something easy to direct stream to any device without transcoding.

I’ll check out tdarr. If it’s something I can configure to run overnight it probably would be worth the effort. Thanks!

I ran tdarr for a while, eventually I found for most things that it was faster (and better quality) to re-download in better formats than to re-encode.

That’s fair!
