I get both with one of these
Super low wattage at idle but it transcodes like a beast using QSV
And you're able to transcode 4k with that? 1080p with hardware offload isn't surprising, but 4k really requires some extra horsepower.
EDIT: Maybe I'm wrong, seems like quicksync even on a Celeron has gotten pretty good.
Yep, 4k to 4k tonemapping, even, which was one of the use-cases my previous Celeron N3350 server couldn't handle (it got ~14 fps)
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.
It's pretty sweet. I went the other way, starting on a Pi 4, moved up to a cheap ($110) Celeron N3350 device, then finally this little beast when I started getting HDR content and needing to transcode with tonemapping. 4 times the RAM, double the cores and it's just way faster in general.
It'd also be perfect for light desktop use IMO
This is really good, do you know if I can plug my 4tb m2 ssd in there? If yes, I'm moving tomorrow😁
Check that it uses the same interface for the M2 slot as your SSD (PCIe vs SATA).
It does. What concerns me is the sign "up to 2TB". And I don't understand if it is a limitation of preinstalled os or hardware.
I haven't personally opened it up, but it does internally use a replaceable m.2 NVME SSD according to the info that came with it, so you should be able to.
That would be conceivable, but I would like to pack my existing HDDs in a case if possible
Yeah, in my case I host my hard drives on a cheap ARM Synology NAS and an external drive plugged into an M1 Mac Mini running Asahi. Just have an external SSD plugged into the Jellyfin server as a cache/transcodes drive
