I’m planing to get a pi in the future to build mount the Plex server and other stuff like vpn for home etc … can I get some guidance on what to look and what type of storage (physically small) to attach to it? Also it can be used as a seed box ? All together

    @nyakojiru The RK3588 and RK3566 are fantastic SOCs. At least 4GB RAM. An eMMC is much more reliable for the boot volume than a microSD card.

    This won’t be able to do any live transcoding, so make sure your clients are configured for direct streaming.

    You can get fairly large USB 3 flash drives and microSD cards for compact local storage. A NAS is better than local storage for a media server, though.
