Buying a Mini PC for Transcoding

[Jellyfinger]

Hi everyone,

I've recently started using my Synology DS1522+ as a home media server. Now, for personal use it works fine but whenever I need transcoding the CPU usage goes upwards of 90%. I want to invite family members to also make use of my home media server, but with the transcoding situation as it is that's simply not possible.

I was thinking of buying a Mini PC to run Jellyfin on and handle the transcoding (up to 4 streams at a time, preferably 4K). Then use the Synology for storage. But I'm just not very knowledgeable on the subject.

I've found 3 somewhat cheap options and I was wondering if they would be good options, or are they awful, or maybe even overkill? Which one is the best, or are there better out there?

- Morefine M9 Intel N100, 8 GB Ram (16 possible), 256 GB SSD (Link to webshop)
- Beelink Mini S12 PRO Intel N100, 16 GB Ram, 512 GB SSD (Link to webshop)
- NUC Mini PC Intel N100, 16 GB Ram, 500 GB SSD (Link to webshop) - Dutch

I'm looking for something that can transcode 4 streams at 4K and is not too difficult in use (I'm a bit dumb).

Thanks in advance!
