You'll need a large case with those 10 HDDs you mentioned (unless you're keeping you're existing case or they're external drives anyway). I only mention that because I thought I'd get something decent as its a general PC, not just for Emby, so its quite good if you want to use MakeMKV for ripping discs and Handbrake for processing/shrinking them, and general video stuff. I run my Emby server on mobo with 8 SATA connectors for the HDDS, a Ryzen 3700X, a Gigbyte 1660 super card and NVME for Windows. I do not understand your point about "using a PC to run Emby as NASes, whether Synology or QNAP"? What does that mean? What specifically doesn't have the power to transcode? Thanks! We do have a budget of $2,000, maybe a bit more, so we can get some pretty good stuff with that, I would think. After that, the skies they limit (as will be the bill.)Īgain, might be talking rubbish, especially as there about two people plus me who use our server, so, you know, not exactly a heavy load. If you've got the money I image a middle of the road Intel, maybe i5 would be OK with its built in Quick Sync for transcoding, or a Ryzen (which doesn't have Quick Sync) plus a graphics card, maybe Gigabyte 1070 or 1650/1660 would work. If there's transcoding going on I'd stick to using a PC to run Emby as NASes, whether Synology or QNAP or whatever don't have the horsepower to transcode. ![]() ![]() I don't know if this still applies but maybe someone will be able to comment better on that. It used to be said that certain types of subtitles would cause transcoding and these were best avoided. You'll be better of listening to people who know what they're talking about, unlike me, but.
