Adam ConoverHome Plex server update / Q: I have decided affirmatively to go the Mac Mini route. My preference is to make use of old hardware, so I'm eyeing the 2014 i5 with an SSD, which OWC i selling for < $200. Will this be enough horsepower to run Plex and occasionally transcode? I plan to only store 1080p media, and I'd like to give access to a few friends so they can enjoy my collection. Will the i5 do the job or should I just get an M1 Mini now so I don't outgrow it too soon? https://eshop.macsales.com/configure-my-mac/UAEG2FS3XX2XXXA
John Lagomarsino@adamconover it’ll be enough, but how sure are you that you’ll be at 1080p for the foreseeable future? 4K crept up on me pretty quickly and there’s more of it in my collection now than I anticipated.
