    I am looking to re-do my jellyfin/nas setup. 
    My current setup is a Frankenstein for sure. 
    Surface pro 3 (i5-4300U with 8GM of memory) running ubuntu with jellyfin on top. Then my "NAS" is a Asus Tinker Board (https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-Tinker-board...BVQWS?th=1) with external 14TB HDD hooked up over USB 2.0. When I get 2-3 users it starts getting unstable. 

    New System
    N100 with 6 Sata ports (https://www.amazon.com/Industrial-Mother...B0CQZH8X2P)
    16 GB of memory 
    4 - 14 TB drives in RAIDZ1 (data) (part of me wants to go 6 14TB drives in RAIDZ2, I know this is over kill and I am only 53% full on my one 14TB drive)
    I have a spare Samsung SSD for OS drive or should I go with NVMe mirrored. I figured I would use the OS drive for cache also
    OS: TrueNAS Scale


    Currently I see about 2 to 3 users. I am sure that once I get a more stable setup I could see 4-5 users at once. I was not sure if the N100 would be enough. With that being said I would like to start migrating to 4k so more transcoding would be needed too. I think only one of the users would be able to use the 4k natively. 

    Should this be fine for a new system. I do plan to run an {stuff we don't talk about - TDP} along with a few other small containers. Is 16GB enough I have read where you can get 32 working but according to Intel the n100 does not support 32. 

    Thanks for double checking my proposed new build

    If you were only doing 1080P content, the N100 would be plenty for 4-5 users. With 4K in the mix, and probably HDR too, the N100 isn't enough, IMO.

    A lower end CPU with a dedicated GPU would be sufficient. And definitely 32GB of RAM if you want to do things besides Jellyfin.

    Seems I would be better off and following "Techno Tim" jellyfin build (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLSWyTmM2r)

    Intel Corei3 14100 CPU: https://amzn.to/3Zmaq2k
    ASUS ROG Strix B760-I Motherboard: https://amzn.to/3XvqkVH
    Corsair DDR5 RAM 64GB: https://amzn.to/3zbZD06

    It only doubles the build $$$ but I would rather have it work great and somewhat future proof for a good 5-10 years

    Also consider an Arc GPU. HDR to SDR tone mapping is VRAM intensive. And iGPUs don't have a lot available to them.
