you can add a SATA card and ghetto rig it but, at least when I did that, it wasn't stable and resulted in about 4TB of lost files.For this whole setup, you’re going to need duplicates of everything to set up a Raspberry Pi system as well as any additions you want for your media player. Plus, connecting everything to USB is just asking for trouble. Of course, if you've got a little bit of money you can spend on it, you'll be happier on the long-term and can use what you build to serve up more than just Plex. The Optiplexes do seem to work for people and if you're not doing lots of transcoding or using the machine for things in addition to Plex then you should be fine. Same CPU, same RAM, same drives, same OS, same Plex libraries. I'm guessing that Dell cheaps out on the bridge on these things (and mine was an Optiplex 7000 with a i5-12500 and it still couldn't keep up).Īs soon as I moved it all to a different machine (a custom NAS sitting inside a Fractal Node 804 case) all of the trouble went away. Connected four USB drives to it and the drives would crash. Tried running Linux on the thing but couldn't get the fans to work properly.
I'm not sure if it's Dell crap hardware or what but I just kept having problem after problem before finally giving up. I did this when I originally started before just giving up and switching to my own custom built server/NAS.
