UPS attached with power monitoring ~ average daily draw is 2 kWh Win 10 Home 64 bit, AMD Ryzen 5 1600, 16GB RAM, GTX 980, 500 GB M.2 NVME SSD, 7 x 6 TB WD RED (PCIE Sata Expansion card) Not a high end set up, but it is constantly in use (almost 24 hrs). Roughly 50% direct play and 50% transcode.
Around 8-10 concurrent users at peak times, but also Plex is streaming to users around the clock (due to different time zones).
I have around 20+ users (mostly family, some friends) in 3-4 different countries. My server is super stable, no crashes or problems in over 2 years (touch wood). I would not change the OS now even if you paid me. The system has been upgraded slowly over that time, and work flow has also been totally automated.
Because I had a spare system with a windows license. I started around on a windows system around 8 years ago. but i'm also using TeamViewer for remote, and i don't think that particular software is as snappy as other options) (though the geek in me complains about how slow the machine is any time I have to remote into it to configure/tweak or update anything. But for my usage & non-4K media, I could actually go back to a capable NAS with relatively few issues. If you have lots of 4K media & devices that can't play it natively, then you'd have use for a more powerful device. So most of the time it's just sitting there at idle, with the NiC & HDDs doing all the 'work' while I watch. Every device in my house (minus yesterday's attempt w/ an Xbox 360) will Direct Play, and we rarely use Remote Access that would need transcoding. Honestly I almost feel like the hardware is being wasted. It works pretty well, with movies taking a couple seconds to startup after making a selection, but the viewer experience is just fine on any competent hardware. It's on an AMD Phenom II 1055T 6-core with 8GB of DDR3 RAM plus a GTX 1050 Ti for hardware transcoding.Įverything is still spinning HDDs, with media on an IronWolf NAS drive and the OS & transcoding folders on separate consumer HDDs. Basic install of Windows 10 w/ Plex Server running at startup. I only have Windows experience so that's what I'm using.
