Beelink minipc S12 pro. Δεν περίμενα ποτέ ότι θα υπάρχει pc με 16Gb ram και 500GB σκληρό με 250 ευρώ τιμή. Κινεζια και έχει αντέξει, φτου φτου μη το ματιασω, 1.5 χρόνο.Τρέχει απρόσκοπτα μέχρι και photoshop, ψιλο-κολωνει σε Davinci Resolve αλλά νταξ..... Με N100 επεξεργαστή δεν περίμενα θαύματα.

Raspberry Pi?

Mini pcs are better. I have the beelink S12 pro. It has intel N100 which can easily transcode 4 streams at once

Is Windows 11 really that bad for running Plex with the arr suite and Docker?

Windows will work perfectly fine on the Beelink. In fact, I ran Win11 on my Dad's Beelink S12 Pro for a couple of years. I also ran PMS on Windows for awhile as well. The problem is (for me) the random updates that FORCE reboots and, since I refuse to create a Microsoft account, the "create your Mic

Plex pass for Dummies

No, if you are a part of his Plex Home you get all the same benefits His computer is either shutdown or in sleep mode. Just like any other normal computer does if not configured for 24/7 usage.

Is there an affordable (<$200) low power device PC out there to run torrents and a single stream 4k Plex server?

With RAMpocalypse/RAMageddon and Alder Lake-N/Twin Lake availability to reduce budget is the compromise on build quality (like the AK1PLUS) or overall performance. The better build quality would be the Beelink MINI S12 N100 or S13 N150 which of both doubled in price since last year. For Plex I would

Best OS to host your Plex server in 2025?

Im comfortable with windows so I recently set up my Plex server on a Beelink S12 pro with windows 11. Frankly, it just works. No need for research, trouble-shooting or anything. Also got Plex pass and hw transcoding again, just works. Tested locally with an LG TV app, remotely on my android phone an

It's Prime Day and you can get an Intel N100 mini PC with 16GB RAM for $150 https://www.amazon.com/Beelink-S12-Pro-Generation-Intel/dp/B0BW8JSQCH Intel N100 uses 6W idle It has Plex hardware transcoding It can run Proxmox

Low-power hardware suggestion?

My N100 Beelink S12 Pro uses 10-24W. I'm in an RV and boondock a lot so I count every watt. It's very efficient. About 2-4x more power consumption than a RPi but way more than 2-4x more powerful. I run over 100 Kubernetes containers including a full media stack.

Those of you who use a Beelink, which one is best?

Beelink S12 Pro will do 4K no problem. Can also transcode 4k to 1080p with about 5-6 streams at a time maybe more but I haven't got that many. There are other brands with very similar configurations, the main thing you want to look for is the N100 CPU this is one of the most common for Plex Servers.

What's Wrong with a Basic Plex Server Install on Windows

Nothing wrong at all. I still have the windows that came installed on beelink s12 pro mini PC. Lots of posts here on how to use Linux and/or dockers I got none of that. Ars and Plex installed on windows. Works beautifully.
