    How would this go as a Plex server? Is there something better for a similar price?

    • Fishy932 on 10/12/2022 - 16:38

      For $129 I think this would be a great price for a Plex server. Would Handle Plex fine.

      • Smeeble on 10/12/2022 - 16:51

        Thanks

        • chinaman on 10/12/2022 - 17:12

          Would these ruin better than say the nvidia shield to play movies from an ssd?

            +2

            @chinaman: It might be able to do 4K but I doubt this thing could handle stff like HDR if you're thinking of using it as a media player.. Shield would have more usage.

      • Arthur Dent on 10/12/2022 - 16:56

        What would be the best approach to storage for this usage? Internal/external drive?

          External only for these

            @grillba: 6 usb3 ports is about as good as you'll get for something this size though.

      • CyberMurning on 10/12/2022 - 17:15

        can play x265 ? say up to FHD?

        • grillba on 10/12/2022 - 18:21

          CPU has Quick Sync so should be good for that

    • lachlantula on 10/12/2022 - 17:09
      +11

      this would be quite good but do consider 7500t-specced machines as they have a better iGPU for faster transcoding for not much more money* compared to the price gap between the 7500t and the 8500t.

      *when you catch a deal on one.

    • Sapiens on 10/12/2022 - 17:47

      Would work great. Install resilio sync for an excellent file sync between pcs

      I have this same model running plex server on arch Linux. It handle plex very well and been running flawlessly.

    • volleyballthehustler on 10/12/2022 - 23:06

      I use this as a Plex server with a WD 18TB external hard drive and it's been very good thus far

    • StonedWizard on 11/12/2022 - 11:21

      Could someone share with me how you use this or something like this as a plex server?

      I currently just stream the things from my laptop, but having a standalone hardware might be better for me.

      • String name on 12/12/2022 - 09:15
        1. Install an operating system
        2. Download and install on the server
        3. ???
        4. Profit (opportunistically by not purchasing overpriced streaming services - I don't know)

        (The devil is in the details. I.e. using a linux based operating system will heavily reduce base demand freeing up resources for your server applications, or a hypervisor layer will enable you to host multiple "servers" simultaneously. Do the above however you feel comfortable)

    This should be a good Rpi alternative for home assistant.

    • bdl on 10/12/2022 - 16:30

      wouldn't power consumption be way more for this?

      • lowey71 on 10/12/2022 - 16:37

        be surprised how efficient some of these are. My HP G4 SFF (not mini) with NVME, 48GB ram and and bunch of usb disks uses around 15w cruising along with i7-8700 running HA, heaps of docker containers and a windows VM…

        Under load the spikes can be 4x higher, but can use powersave modes to temper.

        • bdl on 10/12/2022 - 17:01

          I think your i7-8700 will help that a lot, I had a Dell Optiplex SFF i5-3570 and being an older gen it drank a lot more juice than my rpi HA install… I've ended up moving HA to my Synology (which is on 24x7) just to try and limit power consumption these days. Reprovisioned my rpi as a zigbee2mqtt box so I didn't have to rely on any USB passthrough

          • maybe a bot on 10/12/2022 - 17:20
            +1

            @bdl: 8700 is the same architecture as this, just more cores of the same.

            these chips are 35w tdp, eat about ~8w idle and ~40w full tilt

        • mkh1991 on 10/12/2022 - 18:08

          What you running on heaps of dockers, I can’t think of anything other than HA which I am running, hence the PC is bit under utilised for me tbh. Similar specs.

      • initiateit on 10/12/2022 - 20:24
        +1

        No. 35w max and its literally 4 times more powerful than a Pi.

        • bdl on 10/12/2022 - 23:07

          that's only the CPU

    • Smigit on 10/12/2022 - 16:56
      +1

      Yeah might not be bad for that. For something like HA I prefer to use an SSD since SD cards aren’t especially long lasting for heavier loads. Once you factor in the difficulty in obtaining PIs right now, current cost for one plus adding a case, SSD etc then this probably comes out ahead by a chunk.

      How?

  • Musiclover on 10/12/2022 - 16:38

    These or similar mini PCs will probably be great alternative to Nvidia Shield as a TV box. If they can handle 4K videos well…

    • apu on 10/12/2022 - 17:01

      I’m interested in using the base 8gb version for this - a 4k htpc. Is there a native hdmi port for this? I can see in the description but cannot see in the photo?

      • Musiclover on 10/12/2022 - 17:04
        +2

        Are you sure it is powerful enough for 4k?

        • chinaman on 10/12/2022 - 17:13

          Would like to know too

          • Musiclover on 10/12/2022 - 17:32

            @chinaman: The processor itself is a little more powerful than Nvidia's Tegra x1. But the GPU part of Tegra is a lot more powerful… So maybe need a bit of a faster processor with a bit more powerful GPU part…

            • Yekul on 10/12/2022 - 18:29

              @Musiclover: Also the intel 530 iGPU can’t do 10 bit hdr HEVC decoding I believe? So a lot of 4k content would struggle as it’d fall back to the CPU a good chunk.

              Intel quicksync is fantastic, but really need the intel 6xx series iGPU for the minimum imo.

    • atlas on 10/12/2022 - 18:21

      The problem is apps not designed for a TV experience. Need to get a remote etc.

    • 16k-zx81 on 10/12/2022 - 21:36

      It's not ideal for 4k. Look for a 7 series or above.

    BUT do i really need it if I have a Synology NAS (the DS920+)

    • CyberMurning on 10/12/2022 - 17:18

      same here. what can we do with this alongside syno ?

      Buy now. Think later

      • the4thzodiac on 10/12/2022 - 17:20

        haha. close.

        for context: it is a 2016 CPU, but a good one at that.

        • dealhunter52 on 10/12/2022 - 17:51

          2015 actually and only downside is no hyperthreading (i.e. 4 core 4 threads). Still good for the price though, if you really need one.

    • geeksman on 10/12/2022 - 18:18
      +1

      No you don't DS920+ has Q19 processor which handle 4k better than this Q15 processor. (Q19 has Intel UHD Graphics 600 and Q15 has Intel HD Graphics 530)

      • CyberMurning on 10/12/2022 - 20:37

        How about mine, ds1511+ with Intel Atom D525 Dual Core. It cant do x265.
        If i get this for plex, how do i connect this to the nas? (All my media are in there)

        • geeksman on 11/12/2022 - 06:26

          Install plex media server to this pc, Map network drive. Then select this mapped drives to new plex server. Plenty tutorials in you tube. https://youtu.be/ipZl_iRiYCc ( Map network Drive)
          https://youtu.be/GEK6OCQj9Xg ( Plex Setup )
          Make sure you select that network drive as source of Movies/Tv Show.

    • bdl on 10/12/2022 - 19:29

      no, add some nvme for your storage pool on ds920 instead :) I've just done this and moved docker/vm's to it

    • chickendog on 10/12/2022 - 18:09

    • kingmoron on 10/12/2022 - 18:15
      +1

      its 6500T so its 35w (doesnt correlate to exact power draw and even if it did - theres the rest of the system as well)

      • chickendog on 10/12/2022 - 18:19

        Thanks yeah just saw that the 6500T is 35w, should've looked into it more before posting!

    Not going to be good for 4k content, for sure. Buy it only for office works and lite media consumption or torrenting, lite file sharing, don’t recommend for plex if you want to do transcoding ( weak Processor Graphics)

      • Chiang on 10/12/2022 - 21:11

        Are you sure? I thought.I saw wifi in the connectivity part of the description. Most of the Mini Dell's like this (competing in the same space) that I have bought have had wifi built in.

        Can't comment as to dual band.

        • Void on 11/12/2022 - 11:31
          +3

          It comes with a crappy Realtek N300 dongle. You can add Wi-Fi with an M.2 card, but you will have to either source the original HP Wi-Fi antenna and cover, or alternatively there are two punch holes on the back where you can screw on generic SMA antennae like these.

          • Chiang on 11/12/2022 - 18:01

            @Void: Okay. That lessens the attraction a bit.

            Search for the Dell micro's via BNEACTTRADER who often do deals here to get an idea for comparison with wifi already in and mostly a later processor than this.

      Better off getting something with duel nics builtin.

        Recommendations ?

    • bdl on 10/12/2022 - 23:08

      qotom instead

    • Void on 11/12/2022 - 11:35
      +1

      Fine if you won't use over 1Gbps of inter-VLAN and WAN bandwidth combined. Otherwise I recommend getting either a Qotom (or similar) which is fanless with more built in NICs, or getting the SFF version of this so that you can install PCIe NICs. I have the SFF and it's pretty quiet.

    • chickendog on 13/12/2022 - 15:55

      When I get mine I'm gonna try proxmox + pfSense with a UE300 for the WAN - the completely unrecommended approach of using a USB NIC but some people have had success virtualizing it like this, as opposed to having it directly connected to the FreeBSD based OS which seems to where most of the issues stem from.

      Can let you know how it goes if you're interested! Worth a shot, if it doesn't work it'll replace my Celeron G530 HTPC as mentioned above anyway…

      Something like a Qotom would be great but pretty expensive in comparison (~$300-400) for something I'm going to mostly have for fun and learnings.
