Good morning! I'm looking to upgrade my potato NAS (based on a 2015 NUC with USB hard drive and network card connections). My use case is mostly Immich for family photos and videos, Jellyfin media streaming, and some light file movement with SMB/Nextcloud. My goal is snappy, avoiding CPU bottleneck for downloads and transcodes (usually 2/2 subtitle burn in or Immich videos), and some room for upgrades in the future. I've got the following build down to $600 on Amazon (own storage already) https://pcpartpicker.com/list/FgY4xH. Is this overkill? Is it weighted in the wrong places? And I know the limitations of the N4 from your videos, I just love the look and size. Thanks for any help!
