Mini PC for Jellyfin
Mini PC for Jellyfin
Hello all, I recently setup jellyfin on my RPi 4 with an external HDD attached and after a few tests I decided to move on. On ebay I found a refurbished Fujitsu Mini PC with a Pentium G4560. It is way cheaper than the Lenovo ThinkCentre M720q (with a G5400T) which I saw being recommended a lot.
My question is:
how does the higher TDP of the former 54 W with a base frequency of 3.50 GHz compare to the latter with a TDP of 35 W for 3.10 GHz in a real world scenario running jellyfin?
For now I will continue using my external HDD because the prices for new drives is too high for me.

Can't answer your question but I got a refurb corporate m715 for 60 bucks, I haven't bothered upgrading the 8Gb ram^* and it runs a full dockerized arr stack, vpn and jellyfin without any issue. I don't reencode and I don't use 4k media, so I can't talk about that either.
But if you're looking for cheap that works, it's not a bad little machine.
^* The system actually run on 6Gb since 2 are reserved for video and by the time I realized that everything has been up and running fine for a while, so I didn't even bother rebooting in the bios to change it, I just added a bigger swap 🙄
