Hi all
I'm new to home lab and media servers and want to know how well the new Ryzen APUs (5500GT specifically) transcode and tone map 4K HDR/DoVi content. I have a large bluray collection I want to put on a server, but need the pcie lanes for a 10Gbps card running pcie x4 and 4 nvme to sata adapters running out of another pcie x16 slot( it is 4 nvme to 5 sata port adapters for a total of 20 sata ports using all 16 lanes). Mainly what I want to know is if the CPU will handle transcoding a 4K HEVC HDR/DoVi file to 1080p SDR and what the quality will be, or if I should mix and match the adapters with the motherboard's nvme slots and get a descrete GPU( looking at the A2000 12GB) and maybe run it in x8 mode if it is supported. I know the 20 sata ports are overkill, but I want to mirror the boot, cache and apps pools(will be using truenas scale or unraid) just for peace of mind and so nothing gets corrupted. Sorry if the post is a bit jumbled.
