  • This is what I use but with Debian. I had an older NUC 8 i5 lying around so I decided to drop 32GB of RAM and a new 1TB NVME drive into it. The performance is way better than a Pi and the measured power consumption at the wall socket is under 5 watts idle (peaks at around 13-15 watts under load if I recall correctly).

    In terms of noise level, if I start loading the CPU heavily the fan can be noticeable … however at idle or when it’s just streaming Plex content to my TV (without transcoding), it doesn’t make any fan noises at all.
