Two 4 TB Western Digital Reds that are mirror using DrivePool and connected via USB 3.0. Great for connecting my USB 3.0 external hard drives. Won't do much transcoding movies with this card as I prefer CPU transcodes for better quality. Originally had 4 GB, but I upgraded to 12 GB.Ĭame with a 1 TB Seagate Barracuda, but wanted faster drive with less power consumption. This is enough to transcode 3 1080p movies. Below are the specifications of my Plex server. The workstation is a Lenovo ThinkCentre M82. My Plex Media Server SpecificationsĪs mentioned, my Plex server is a used small form factor workstation. I managed to find a used small form factor Lenovo workstation that met my requirements. Since it will be located in my office and always powered on, I also wanted one that was quiet and didn't use a lot of power. My requirements for a server weren't demanding, so I didn't want to setup a complex system, but wanted a small computer that had enough processing power to transcode at least two streams, if needed. Seeing the potential of hosting my own library of movies, shows, and photos, I decided to buy a used system off eBay to use as my Plex server. This was easy for me to have a look at Plex, test it out, see what was required for configuration without having to invest in a second system.
I started with Plex Media Server using my regular Windows 7 desktop as the server.
