Noob here. If I wanted to use one of the devices as an always on Plex server, would I be better off going with the micro for lower power consumption?
I don't know if this makes a difference but I currently have media saved to an external hard drive.
Yeah same question as well. Need to move my docker setup from synology to a sff. Synology getting outdated and slow.
Hi I use Lenovo sff 7th Gen i5. Works great for 1080p Plex. Power consumption is higher but have not skipped a bit
I'd stick to the larger model purely because it's got more room inside - you can add a storage controller or video card in the future if you ever want to expand your server.
Power consumption isn't much different between the two. Do you have solar ? If yes then you won't notice either.
Shame the 7060 doesn't have a HDMI port. Almost bought it and luckily I thought to check.
It absolutely does output HDMI, you need to use a DisplayPort to HDMI cable.
7060 micro now sold out.
Go for SSD option.
