Looking to start a plex server with this. Any drawbacks with this other than 1000Mbps ethernet port? The NAS I have (WD EX2) is also 1000Mbps so I wasn't too concerned, but also I have no idea how this combo will affect my ability to stream as I am pretty new to this.

I don't have this exact mini pc (I have the g5 with the n97 cpu), but I think all of these mini pcs using n95, n97, n100, and n150 cpus are more than sufficient for typical plex servers. If you are concerned about pushing lots of 4k content simultaneously, I think you will need to invest in a more robust system with a dedicated graphics card. For more common plex setups, this will do great. Mine is primarily a plex server and I'm happy with it.

I have the G3 N100 with 2 external 5TB WD drives running Plex in a docker instance and it's blazing fast. Transcoding no problem. I chose to wipe the OS and replace with the latest iteration of Ubuntu and everything works perfect.

Here's another variant with the N95 processor, 16GB RAM, 511GB SSD. $120 after coupon.

Good price, but is it as good a PC?

https://www.amazon.com/KAMRUI-GK3...B0BC7S9R5C

ETA: I decided to grab this one, but the sale was off when I went back. It's now the same price as the GMK (after coupon).

It looks like the difference among the N95, N97, N100 and N150 CPUs is relatively minor.

The mini PC in this deal has dual NICs, so carries a bit of a price premium over some other GMKTec products. Unless you have a specific need for dual NICs (homelab, firewall, etc.) I wouldn't bother with it.

How does it compare to raspberry pi5? Pi4 is a bit slow playing 4k and x265 encoding

This one has a single 2.5GB NIC and is $31.01 cheaper:

​I can't speak to performance vs. Raspberry Pi, but IMO by the time you purchase a case, heat sink, fan, power supply and storage that a Raspberry Pi needs, the value proposition for the Raspberry Pi disappears. These knockoff NUCs are plug and play.

Not all the same processors in terms of power use. N100 and N150 are 6 watts, and n95 is 15 watts, and n97 is 12watts. Where I live, 6w = $22 per year, 12 watts = $44, and 15 watts =$55 per year. Not a huge difference, but something to think about.

They are all pretty similar in terms of performance.

How easy is it to take out the SSDs in these and put in a larger capacity one? Say putting in a 1TB or 2TB and removing the 512?

Swapping out an NVMe drive requires removing the toolless top, unscrewing one small screw, lifting out the old NVMe, and then installing the new NVMe and replacing the screw. The NVMe drive has to be slotted in at about a 10 degree angle or so, to engage the contacts in to the NVMe slot, and then pressed down and the hold down screw replaced - it takes a bit of fiddling but is easily doable - there should be little to no resistance when pressing the NVMe drive down, if there's any resistance, it's not slotted in properly.

Keep in mind that this takes a 2242 drive, which is a bit of an oddball size as compared to the more conventional 2280 size; I'm not up on 2242 2TB pricing, but I suspect you're going to pay more for the storage drive than you are for the whole system.

Also keep in mind that this system has dual gigabit NICs that you're paying a bit of a premium for - if you don't need dual NICs, this cheaper one with a single 2.5GB NIC may be worthwhile, and has a more conventional 2280 NVMe slot, and a bonus M.2 2242 SATA slot:

I'm no expert, but this MS page makes it sound like these won't get future updates.
