Looking for nuc recommendations

Plex@lemmy.mlEnglish · 1 year ago

Does anyone have any advice on a nuc that would be good to run a Plex server for mostly direct 4k streams locally? I have an older pc I could use but I was wondering if it made sense to run a lower power device as my old gaming pc would probably be overkill.

I would recommend anything Gen 8 Intel or higher. The quick sync is just so good.
