I’m looking to create a Plex/media server so my family and I can stream our Blu-rays. It would also serve as a cloud of sorts. This is my first time making a server. A thorough search on the i3 has been made, but I remain unsure if an 8 yo processor will meet my needs.

At most, we would be streaming on one or two devices. Aside from that, the storage would just be a nifty way to keep my photos off of iCloud. I plan on making it redundant, but I need to get my hands on another 8TB drive.

      Somewhere around 35 watts maximum. It can handle multiple 1080p streams, but only one 4K stream, and the limitation is due to the 2GB of RAM on the card.

      I have a very low-use server, so the card is perfect for my needs.
