  • I run a Celeron J1900 SFF PC. It has only 2 SATA ports, and doesn’t boot off PCI-E. I have used USB drives, but that’s not optimal. I try out new things on a laptop.

    Now I’m also looking to upgrade.

    Used workstations have SATA ports, but usually have Xeons in them, i think that means no QuickSync. And if they sell it with an old Quadro card, that’s too much for just a few video streams.

    New builds get expensive fast. Also not many nice cases that are cheap.

    Dedicated NASes are expensive because of the software and services they offer, but I don’t need those.

    This is how far I’ve gotten, so I’m looking forward to seeing what other people have to say about it.
