I’m looking to offload all my media from my main PC and make it accessible to other devices in my house. It’s likely to only be a few TB, probably 2 drives at most.
I’ve been trying to find a low-power solution since it will be running all the time. I do have a PoE switch, so it would be a bonus if it can run off PoE but not a requirement. I’ve been checking out a lot of the SBC’s that have become popular over the past couple years, but even the budget ones have gotten pretty expensive.
What are some good options?
I’m also watching this as I’m in the same boat. I can’t help I’m afraid but I imagine people might ask if you want to ever transcode to the other devices.
I probably won’t need to transcode anything, I just want it to serve files as they are.
