I’m looking to move from a Synology NAS with Plex to get something dedicated that is more powerful/can do more transcoding streams at once.

What is everyone using and how many streams can you transcode at once?

    A recent-ish Intel CPU. Even the mini pc’s with a n5000/n95/n100 class CPU will make light work of transcoding nearly everything into x265 using the igpu. The most recent gen will do AV1 decode/transcode as well.

    I built a custom NAS from a cheap mini itx motherboard from AliExpress running Debian on a Intel n5095. The iGPU is powerful enough for like 4-5 transcodes. I’m happy with it.
