I am in the process of trying to set up a media Server in my home. I plan on using JellyFin and KODI. I will be using old old Dell Desktop mini PC 3250. I will be running Linux Mint 21.1 Mate. I am some what technical but limited ......dumb questions to follow.
This pc motherboard has 8 Gb on board memory. It has 2 SATA data ports. One at 3 Gbps and the other at 6 Gbps.
I have a Tosiba 1 Tb hard drive and 1 Tb SanDisk SSD drive. My thoughts are to use one of the drives to store media and the other to run the Jellyfin and any other apps.
I had read that it was better to use the higher performance SSD for running the apps and the lessor performance disk (hard drive) for storing media.
Thoughts?
As I begin this process to set up and use a media sever, I appreciate any help or recommendations
