They ended up with this DAS.

That's a really good pick for the housing.

I didn't want to reuse the drives on hand cuz their kinda old. Someone suggested these drives . Four of these should be plenty of space for the media I have, should they hold up well?

Also thank you so much for answering all my pesky questions. I just wanna try to avoid having to rebuy things cuz I made dumb choices.

Yep. I have the WD Red Pros in my server (also CMR, but 7200RPM).

So to recap for anyone who searches for minipc media server for jellyfin later.

This is what it has boiled down to.

This seems to cover all the basic bases pretty well.

Thanks again for all the help!

Hi guys,
I found this mini pc on the market
> Mini pc LENOVO ThinkCentre M715Q , AMD Ryzen 5 PRO (4 cœurs ) , Windows 11 pro , SSD NVME

is it good for transcode 4K films?

RE: Mini PC Recommendations - TheDreadPirate - 2024-11-05

Negative. Even if that CPU has a Radeon iGPU, it wouldn't be sufficient for 4K transcoding. For mini PCs, stick with Intel CPUs if you intend to use them for Jellyfin.
