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.

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

Wow, that’s pretty slick. Thanks, you may have just solved one of my project plans.
At that price/performance, it would supplant 4 Raspberry Pis I was planning on using for a variety of tasks.
I’ve been lazily running a gaming desktop as a “server” for far too long. Trying to reduce power consumption now.

And you’re able to transcode 4k with that? 1080p with hardware offload isn’t surprising, but 4k really requires some extra horsepower.

This is really good, do you know if I can plug my 4tb m2 ssd in there? If yes, I’m moving tomorrow😁

That would be conceivable, but I would like to pack my existing HDDs in a case if possible
