A ten-year old unRAID server is still a little more powerful than what I would be using now, but Plex doesn’t require much power to run internal to your home network. With mini-PC technology having come so far in the last decade it seemed like the perfect time to switch to a much more elegant solution for my home server needs. I’ve been utilizng an unRAID server built from gaming computer hand-me-downs for most of my household work over the last seven years, but I’d grown tired of the $10–50/yr power costs to power the monstrosity.Įnter the Raspberry Pi 4.

With The Office having left Netflix, I finally decided to do a technology refresh for my Plex Server, to make sure that it’s good-to-go and cheap to use.
