I can confirm that the 1.6 MHz was sufficient for normal NAS operations and Tvheadend TV server, but video transcoding was too choppy. I tested the unRAID with 1.6 MHz Intel Atom dual core and 3.1 MHz Intel Core i3-2105 processors. You should also make sure that you have a gigabit Ethernet-router, because otherwise the data transfer will be too slow for large HD video streams. You will need at least 512 MB of RAM, but 2 GB is recommended for transcoding.
NAS VS EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE PLEX 1080P
If you wish to transcode 1080p HD video with Plex Media Server, you will need at least 2.4 GHz dual processor. You should have at least 1.6 GHz processor to run a media server. If you put a little bit effort into component selection, you can build a NAS which is as quiet and energy efficient as any commercial solution. To complete this tutorial, you will need the following hardware and software. Summary of Required Hardware and Software Energy efficiency: Consume as little power as possible.Reliability: Provide peace of mind with minimal amount of maintenance.Streaming: Stream media to HTPC and other devices using SMB.Storage: Store and backup media files with RAID capability.Music: Play music on all devices from a shared library.Meta data: Automatically scrape movie, music and tv-series meta data.Transcoding: Transcode media to portable devices.Live TV: Serve as a DVR with TV tuners added.My requirements for building a Network Attached Storage are as follows: After completing this practical tutorial, you will have an ultimate media server to serve and transcode media files and also provide live TV stream to other devices.
NAS VS EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE PLEX INSTALL
The objective of this guide is to help you to set up Lime-Technology’s unRAID Network Attached Storage and install Plex Media Server and Tvheadend TV server into to it.
UnRAID NAS software has some very impressive plugins that enable your media server to to serve all your media files with their meta data information and live TV stream on any device such as HTPC, iPad, Apple TV or Raspberry Pi.
