I am setting up a new Jellyfin server, and I am looking at using a NAS to host it through Docker. However, I don’t want to make the mistake of forgetting about the power needed for live transcoding (MKV 480p -> MP4 (I haven’t set up a good conversion method yet)). Are any of the following NAS options okay for standalone Jellyfin? If not, are there any cheap (CAD$200/USD$150 max) NUCs/computers/servers that are good for live transcoding?

  • Asustor Drivestor 4 AS1104T
  • Asustor Drivestor 4 Pro AS3304T
  • Asustor Drivestor 4 Pro Gen2 AS3304T v2
  • Synology DS423
