Hello all, I recently setup jellyfin on my RPi 4 with an external HDD attached and after a few tests I decided to move on. On ebay I found a refurbished Fujitsu Mini PC with a Pentium G4560. It is way cheaper than the Lenovo ThinkCentre M720q (with a G5400T) which I saw being recommended a lot.

My question is:

how does the higher TDP of the former 54 W with a base frequency of 3.50 GHz compare to the latter with a TDP of 35 W for 3.10 GHz in a real world scenario running jellyfin?

For now I will continue using my external HDD because the prices for new drives is too high for me.

Exactly. It handles Jellyfin + other services very well.

Add some googly eyes if it "lives" in the living room. They fit right above the switch which would then become the nose.

Yeah back when I needed storage (quite some years ago) the mini pcs were less capable and more pricey, so I ended up building a NAS myself. It's a regular, yet very power efficient PC. But due to size, it doesn't fit next to the TV. If I'd do the same thing today, I'd certainly consider a machine like this. And $200 doesn't sound much for a 2-bay NAS.
