While I completely agree, >1Gb Ethernet should be standard on something like this, the box does have Thunderbolt 3. There are a few choices of 2.5, 5, and 10Gbe Thunderbolt 3 adapters, from ~$50 to ~$150.
I agree the 1Gb should be standard. almost no one runs 10Gbe in their home. there really is no need for 10Gbe in the home. But its super fun to play around with!
I don't think this 10th gen i7 is capable of 37 transcodes like you've shown in this video. The UHD 630 which is the iGPU in the 10th gen cpus which i'm assuming is in that CPU is only capable of about 12-14 h265 to h264 1080p transcodes. I believe you have a ton of buffered videos that aren't transcoding and some that are transcoding... i think if you ran them all at the same time you would only get 12 transcodes before clients started freezing, which is probably why the simplyNUC people list it as being capable of around 12 h265 hardware transcodes.
Your excitement left me skeptical at first.......... but.. Holy Crap! That's pretty dang nice! Excitement justified! Wait....... Here it comes ouch! It is pricey!
Any chance to ask for a 11gen NUC sample to review? i would love to see how much you can get on PLEX from i7 1185G7 (NUC11TNHv7) with the new Intel Iris Xe Graphics 940 graphics, im not going to speculate... but my guess is 50+ streams????
Ok Jason @byte my bits, If I have a server right now with 64TB of storage, and I wanted to go this route, what would be the best way to transition to something like this and keep a big storage array available? Space is a premium within my home and this is appealing.
Nice. But after you went on about that 'shaker hood' from the '70's, not one word about the four tuner card grafted onto the top of that NUC. Sorta Franken-nuc-stein. Maybe it'll make the next vid?
It’s cool as a PC but if you have a massive library you’re going to end up with a bunch of external drives. For that price you’re better off getting one of those beastly NASs out there. You can get an incredible NAS for $1200 from Asustor.
All you need is a 8th gen (Even a Celeron) can get you over 20 transcodes, so long as it has Intel Quicksync. I have an HP 290 that I bought for $90 that is my dedicated Plex Server. I recommend finding a cheap prebuilt on Ebay or local and you dont have to buy any of these stupid over priced nucs
Well.. way to pricey, but you did give me the idea to buy a normal nuc to run my plex server + google drive + linux on when my current 'server' with a p2000 craps out. Way cheaper and I don't need that tv decoder anyway. Did not know that intel hardware decoding support is this far now. Thanks!
I will stick with my R610 with 96gigs of ram dual Intel Xeon E5645 2.40GHz connected to my NAS with my media stored on 96TB. I can transcode the same amounts without any issues. Running windows 10.
I have a intel nuc with Core i5-8259U and Intel Iris Plus Graphics 655 the cpu is 4 core 8 thread and sits at 3.6ghz. I can't imagine using it as a plex server long term as it would probably live a short life running 24-7. My server with 64gb eec and Xeon E5-2690 v3 running truenas and a plex jail does me fine.
I currently use an old 2011 dell laptop with a 5tb external for plex. I can only transcode 1 lmao. Sometimes 2 with 1 direct playing. If I get the plex pass and do hardware transcoding will this increase? I'd be happy if I could transcode even 2 honestly.. I'm also going to upgrade my hardware in the future..
I don't know the point of having more than 3-4 simultaneous stream when most of families won't watch more than 2-3 stream at the same time. Focus on storage when needed and save money.
if i did not already have some old pc parts laying around that im planning to rebuild into a server i might have gone with that one, also not a huge fan of the non upgradeable storage
The storage is upgradable to point, it will fit any size ssd or m.2, 1 of each but you can swap them out as larger sizes become available… so yes and no…
Pricing?,money.Listen up the last thing anyone asks to see when they are in hospital dying is the balance in thier bankbook.If you can get it,do it lifes to short.Its an amazing product besides what isnt pricey nowadays lol. Back to it.To me this was worth every cent.Brilliant toy to have! ;-)
Shhhh! Don't tell them all our secrets! HP 290's prices just came back down to sane levels, and you're telling everyone?! Seriously though, I couldn't find one so I rolled my own 2U rack-mounted G4900 based system for around $250.
I think you might be a bit off, my I3 8100 with HW enabled can do over 22 Streams in Linux. can someone please inform me as to the better benefits to using Linux over windows for this? I would so prefer using windows over Linux any day of the week.
@bytemybits windows vs unraid? If you want more storage, getting a NAS an option? But wouldn't having a server like Zeus or Loki be better where there is room to grow and the PMS on same device as it's stored content w/out going outside to another storage device?
I know its not the same, but to give idea on the i3 performance, my new plex server uses i3 10100k w/16gb ram and it can do 32 x 1080p streams with hardware transcoding on the iGPU in unRaid docker. I have mine underclocked and undervolted by 0.125mv and still does 32 streams while only using 22-23 watts at idle.
Hi, I'm looking to get the 11th series i3 NUC for plex server. My worry is it can't transcode subtitles and the occasional 4K ..."medium".. bitrate (cough unverified source cough). The (NUC11TNKi3) to plex android on sony 4k tv. Wondering if your 10th gen can?
@@francoisdesmarquis8548 Windows is notorious for forsing updates on the worst possible times. Plus the IO is better on any Linux distro. But if it works fine for you, I'm not telling you to change anything 😉
Why the fixation on transcoding? I get it for streaming outside your network (let's talk about bandwidth restrictions first) but local network playback should not require transcoding. Direct Play should be used. I just fired up five 4K HDR videos using the official Plex player across 5 different devices (2 on Wi-Fi - 802.11ac). Every device is using Direct Play and my Plex server is averaging roughly 12% usage across all 8 cores. I then switched just one device to get transcoded down to 1080p @ 20 Mbps and server CPU usage jumped to roughly 90%. Transcoding is an ugly word as far as local playback is concerned. You don't even need a Plex server to play these large media files. All you need a network share of your content and VLC/Infuse on your client device. BTW, do yourself a favour and buy a M1 equipped MacBook Air to edit 4K video on the road. :P
No, it's not, because already read data has been cached in the RAM. And I'm not sure, but I think an already transcoded movie part (Plex transcodes in parts) is not transcoded again.
Hey! Could you do a video on Intel's Iris Xe grahpics? (They support Intel Quick Sync) They suppose to be much faster than UHD 700 series gharpics for encoding. I found a video demonstration of it being used in Handbrake to transcode 8K and 1080p high bitrate videos very quickly. watch?v=2zWHsjzK97c&ab_channel=DavidHarry PC World made an article on it titled: Intel’s Iris Xe Max GPU brings graphics chops to thin-and-light laptops (can't paste links) In there you can see that Intel compared the Iris Xe Max gharpics to an RTX 2080 in encoding and Intel was faster... (not in gaming though, for that its similar to a GeForce MX350) (search for "i9-10980K" to jump to that part in the article) These CPUs are in some intel NUCs, they are something like: "Intel Core i5-1155G7", "Intel Core i7-1195G7" I'm considering buying one of these NUCs for my server but I haven't found a comprehensive guide/video about them for use cases like Plex/Docker

I disagree on the windows 10 OS is the best for plex. However for most users that don't know how to run Linux (I would agree that is best for most users). Linux servers are lightyears better than windows 10 home OS as a server operating system. There are hundreds of things that windows 10 home OS can't do where you need linux to step in. Not to mention how much windows cost vs linux (Free). can windows 10 home do link agregation correctly? I don't think so. but for the average user I would suggest windows 10 home as an OS just for their comfortability in managing the server. but for us geeks that want the best. You ain't gunna get that with windows 10 home sorry. the biggest problem with this server which I think you will agree is parity. What happens when one of your SSD's in your little NUC die? There goes your entire media collection and or all the "cache's/settings/metadata" you had stored and configured. I would recommend anyone use some kind of HDD array in RAID with some kind of parity whether that be RAID5,6 or 1. Running a server without it is like waiting for a ticking timebomb to go off.
Nice little machine. Ridiculous pricing. If I got one for free, I would probably be hyped about it, but since I would never get one for free....I would never spend $1400+ on a mini-pc.

Yeah they are charging $300 to install the extra 8tb SSD. Some overhead is expected but $300 for an extra 2 minutes is absurd.

Intel nuc have always been overpriced. With all things computer related the smaller it is the more expensive it is.
Just get an older model NUC for a 3rd the price
Holy moly, now I know why you didn't mention price!
"massive quantities of storage"..... checks the 50+TB array in my Unraid server.... We have wildly different definitions of "massive".....
And Jason has a 300TB server. Not sure how 10 is massive.

Yes it is. Just a bit a good humored trolling here.
It’s impressive for SSD, a home user with a 50-300Tb SSD would be quite impressive given the cost of large SSD drives.
Wipe it and load Ubuntu 20.04 . I bet you can get even more transcoding streams.
You do realize that your configuration is $2600?
Yeah, without mentioning the price this felt a lot more like a product placement than a review
