Would you recommend to use a RPi 5 or a second hand Lenovo mini pc (i3 6100t, 8gb ram) or something else?

    Similarly here. Have an Odroid with that platform, it wasn’t cheap but it came with several advantages:

    • 4 SATA ports on addition to the M2 slot
    • Intel QSV
    • 2 x 2.5 Gbit Ethernet (I only have gigabit at home though)

    Very powerful machine for the power usage, I ran a really old Athlon before though (from 2010 or so that I retrofitted with 16GB RAM) that did most stuff just fine. But I wanted some transcoding and also possibly a smaller case.

    I run everything bare metal though.
